“Finding God in the Ditch : Rebuilding Faith (Part 2 of 3)” Ep#40

"The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil : What Was It? | The Deep End Series" Ep# 46

In this episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce, host Chris Jones tackles a listener question regarding the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, moving past traditional interpretations to view the Fall of Man as humanity's transition from a harmonious hunter-gatherer existence into a competitive, transactional society. By breaking down the serpent’s "double lie" in Genesis, Chris explores how humanity traded unconditional divine love for a perverted, ego-driven definition of morality based on pride and shame—ultimately pointing to Jesus as the Tree of Life and the antidote to this cultural poison. Finally, Chris wraps up the episode with a major structural update, announcing that the podcast is shifting from a weekly schedule to a bi-weekly release to ensure the show remains focused on genuine service over content production.

“Trading Certainty for Growth | Understanding the Compass (Colin Connor)” Ep#45

What happens when we trade real spiritual growth for the safety of absolute certainty? In this episode, Chris is joined by Colin Connor, host of The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered, for a raw and brilliant look at breaking free from rigid fundamentalism to embrace a healthier, question-driven faith. From the danger of prioritizing doctrine over how we actually treat people, to a flawless hockey analogy about what it means to truly "play for the team" of Jesus, Colin dives deep into the tension of living in the complexity of doubt. The conversation culminates in a masterclass breakdown of Chris's compass metaphor, mapping out how the quadrants of hedonism, nihilism, and fundamentalism pull at us, and how a feral, untamed spirit of love is the ultimate tool to calibrate our true north. https://thebibleuncut.com/ [https://thebibleuncut.com/]  https://www.instagram.com/TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered [https://www.instagram.com/TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered]  https://www.facebook.com/TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered/ [https://www.facebook.com/TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered/]  https://www.tiktok.com/@bibleuncutandunfiltered [https://www.tiktok.com/@bibleuncutandunfiltered]  https://www.youtube.com/@TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered [https://www.youtube.com/@TheBibleUncutandUnfiltered]  https://substack.com/@thebibleuncutandunfiltered [https://substack.com/@thebibleuncutandunfiltered]  cconn@thebibleuncut.com [cconn@thebibleuncut.com] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360787/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360787/support] Follow and Share

“Aliens & Theology | What Are NHI’s and Aliens? (Steve Brown & Grant Eckhart)”Ep#44

Are we alone, or are we experiencing a slow-drip government disclosure of Non-Human Intelligence? On this episode of Spiritual Hot Talk, host Chris Jones sits down with Grant Eckhart (curator of Ministry of the Weird) and Dr. Steve Brown (Professor of Philosophy at OSU and co-founder of the Visible College) to break down why traditional "aliens or demons" binaries are theologically juvenile. Moving past standard government propaganda and Project Bluebeam anxieties, the team explores the deep waters of biblical cosmology, ancient religious traditions, the looming exponential spike of artificial intelligence, and how the church can sit in the "weird" lovingly and open-mindedly.
