Questions and Responses
Faith, Prayer and Leaving a Punitive God
A month ago we invited you to ask questions, you did. This podcast was our response to a handful of those questions…
In this episode, Thomas and Jason discussed their faith journeys while responding to questions regarding Judas and hell, how to navigate push back from those who think differently, how to pray without ceasing and without desperation, and finally, what core thoughts about God have we changed in the last ten years.
Both highlighted how they have moved from a punishment focused faith to a restorative focused faith. Both noted how a restorative God changes the way they interact with those who disagree and how it has affected their prayer lives. They discussed a faith in God’s goodness that empowers us to navigate disappointment and highlighted the difference between empathy and compassion.
