This week we begin our three part series on The Atonement. We take a deeper look at how God has united Himself to us, what exactly happened on the cross, and what this means for all of us.
This episode, Kester and James lay the groundwork for our discussion by defining terms, discussing why this topic is so important, and giving an overview of the major modern and historical theories of atonement. This may sound a little technical, but you don't want to miss it!
This series, we push to answer some key questions:
Why did Jesus have to die?
What did Jesus accomplish on the cross?
What is the role of the Father in our salvation?
What is sin? Does it even matter?
What do we need to be saved from? What are we being saved to?

Bill Winn is back! This week, Bill teaches us the importance of how not to divide what's sacred vs. secular in this world. Simply put, many of us grew up with this idea that life and vocation outside of typical church jobs or ministry programs is somehow two completely different things. How can an accountant or a plumber consider his/her work to be "sacred"? Bill gives us insight into how that's possible because of who God is and how he works through everyone in the world regardless of job title, position, gender, or...get this...beliefs!

James Lee gives us the Happy Minute episode this week! In the episode, James shares a story he wrote titled "The Parable of the Golden Buzzer." If you've ever seen America's Got Talent you will know that each judge is given one opportunity to press the 'golden buzzer' which allows a contestant to automatically be sent to the live show rather than have to go through more rounds of auditioning. The Parable of the Golden Buzzer takes aim at our identity and how we see ourselves, but like many of Jesus' parables it is a made up story that helps illustrate what God is really like.
The clip from America's Got Talent which inspired this parable can be heard after the parable is told. All rights to this clip belong to America's Got Talent and has no affiliation with Trinity Happy Hour.

This week Kester talks about how our theological answers and beliefs directly affect our idea of who God is, for better or for worse.
We discuss how answering the "what" and "how" of theological questions often messes with the "Who" of God's character by examining a particularly poor analogy.
Andrew Mack joins the podcast today! Andrew resides in Antlers, Oklahoma where he pastors a church and is married to Ambra and have three children together.
Andrew grew up in the Pentecostal church but it was after he became a pastor that he discovered the Gospel of Jesus and our union with him.
In this episode we talk about GINOSKO, a Greek work used throughout the New Testament that refers to an experiential knowing as opposed to an informational knowing (gnosis).

Wayne Jacobsen joins the podcast today. Wayne continues our theme of "God the Father" by teaching that Jesus shows us what it looks like to live in the “Abba” father relationship that He has with His Father.
Wayne also sheds light on some of our hang ups that keep us from understanding the true nature and love of God - hangs up like wrath, for example. We share a few stories including one beautiful story of an unwanted baby who was adopted by a nurse and her husband.

Join us as James and Kester talk about God the Father and how the experiences we have with our fathers often project an image onto the face of God, for better or for worse.
We also talk about the parable of the prodigal son and focus on the father in that story to see what Jesus was teaching us about his Father.

Pastor Bill Winn of Richmond Grace Fellowship shares about his early days of pastoral vocation and what life looked like as he transitioned from a separation-based theology to an inclusion-based theology.
The impact of his prior beliefs were challenged so greatly he was moved to repent in front of his congregation.
Bill shares stories about seeing the beautiful relationship of the Triune God displayed through his family. Bill has pastored Richmond Grace Fellowship for eleven years.
Here is a list of the books Bill shared in this episode:
The Mediation of Christ (TF Torrance)
God is For Us (Dr. C. Baxter Kruger)
The Mystery of Christ (Robert Capon)

James and Kester focus this episode on the subject of Hope, centered around two quotes from medieval Christian mystic Blessed Julian of Norwich:
"And God showed that sin will be no shame, but somehow honor for humanity… God's goodness makes the contrariness which is in us very profitable for us."
“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.”
Join us as we discuss the challenges and rewards of hope and share stories about loss and death, suffering, and change in life circumstances.
We also talk about cynicism and pessimism, hope in God's goodness, hope as laid out in the Psalms, and as always: the character of God as revealed in the nature and works of Jesus.

What is the Trinity? How could it possibly matter? And what's wrong with all the analogies I use for talking about God?!
This episode James and Kester answer all these questions and more about the Trinity!
Join us as we talk about what mystery is and how that applies to the trinity, why we care so much about the triune relationship of God, and what that means for all people.
We of course poke holes in the analogies people use to try and explain the trinity, and use some bad ones ourselves. And, as always, we talk about the character and nature of the God who loves us, likes us, and has shared the intimacy of His triune relationship with us.

Is God anti-fun? Are the scriptures anti-pleasure? What about all those rules?
Author, speaker, and Christian Mystic John Crowder joins Kester and James to talk about his new book "MONEY. SEX. BEER. GOD. - DITCHING RELIGION FOR THE JOY OF INCARNATION."
Join us to talk about: Money. Sex. Beer. God.
We discuss greek dualism, rationalism, and ideas from Plato and others that have crept in to Christian thought and practice over the years.
We explore the commonly held belief in separation: separation of man from God, and separation of the physical and spiritual. We see how these ideas have influenced they way many people discuss the pleasures and joys of the physical world, including money, sex, and beer.
We also take a dive in to gnosticism, an early christian heresy partly about the evil of the physical world, and how it still thrives in the church today. Our discussion then turns to the new identity given to humanity by Christ, waking up to the inclusion of the Gospel, and how St Paul the "grace apostle" talks about morality for us.
Stick around for our "lighting round" and some ridiculous impressions at the end of the show!
