About this episode

This episode explores how distorted ideas of heaven and sin help us avoid transformation and invites us toward a relational salvation.

We reduce Jesus when faith becomes a system for sorting people into saved and unsaved, pure and impure. This episode explores how distorted ideas of heaven and sin help us avoid transformation—and invites us toward a relational salvation: becoming like Jesus and participating in the renewal of all things.
