My experience as a pastor is lots of people have really toxic, dangerous, psychologically devastating images of God in their head, images of a God who's not good.

Often times when I meet atheists and we talk about the god they don’t believe in, we quickly discover that I don’t believe in that god, either.

The modern world has created airports and hospitals and put 10,000 songs in our pocket. It has built gleaming buildings and computers and advances and innovations that blow our minds. But we have soul, and spirit, and consciousness, and the modern world hasn't done so well at helping us name and understand what it means to be thriving and fully alive with a full heart.

On the Sabbath- we are reminded that we are not human doings, but human beings.

Many people confuse religion with God and walk away from them both. The point isn't Christianity, the point is being a Christian.

Many people need a new rewiring of their heart and mind.

What we believe about heaven and hell is incredibly important because it exposes what we believe about who God is and what God is like.
