Brian Recker: Hell Bent

Listen to this episode from Becoming Church on Spotify. If heaven is our ticket outta here and hell is our punishment for not living good enough lives, is the whole point of following Jesus just to prove that we can do a good job? What does it mean for our lives here on earth in the meantime?   Brian Recker is here to propose how maybe Christianity has leaned a little too hard on the existence of a literal place called hell and how it’s gotten in the way of what it really means to know, follow and live out the gospel of Jesus.   RELEVANT LINKS:   Grab “Hell Bent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians back from a Spirituality of Love” from our Becoming Church resource list on Amazon!   Read “God’s Big Picture: Tracing the Storyline of the Bible” by Vaughan Roberts for a better understanding of how scripture is interconnected.   Sign up for Kristin’s newsletter to get reflection questions for podcast episodes.   Follow: @berecker | @kristinmockleryoung | @mosaicclt
