The Go To Hell Podcast

We take a break from our Christianese series and catch up with special guests, Nolan and Tim's son Jeff. Pop‑culture chat, with Jeff's stories from policing, military life, and personal trauma. The episode swings between light banter—rodeos, beers, and travel plans—and sober discussions about institutional failures, abuse, and how culture shapes generations.

Hosts recover from a brutal flu and recap a raucous brewery weekend (Russian River, Moonlight), then draft iconic walk-up songs inspired by baseball. They recommend a light 80s movie and share beer picks.

The main discussion centers on Alistair Begg’s “man on the middle cross” sermon: a clear, emotional call to simple gospel faith and radical grace, with a critique of politicized religion and false prophets.

We’re joined by frequent guest and friend of the show Nolan to discuss the war between the US and Israel with Iran. It includes a discussion of reports that parts of the US military officer corps conveyed dispensationalist messages to the troops, including “war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”

First we celebrate the USA Men's Hockey team beating Canada in the Olypics, as well as a review of the Olympics overall.

We discuss the biblical problems with this view of Israel and why Christians should not embrace Zionism. This episod...

We start with a little football talk... reactions to Indiana winning the national championship, possibly the greatest coaching turnarounds in history, and gripes about officiating. Tim hates a worship song. Finally, we kickoff a new series we're calling Christianese where we'll be discussing Christian concepts like evangelism, discipleship, etc. We start with evangelism. What is it, how is it practiced? (35:00)

Beer of the Week:

We talk a little college football. Golden Globe trivia. Tim's in a personal funk. Then we dive deep into why Francis Chan left a megachurch to pursue home church, the importance of genuine community and spiritual gifts, and how small groups can — or can’t — replace true Christian fellowship.

We spend the first 38 minutes talking college football. At minute 39 we do some English Premier League trivia. Finally we delve into the main topic of the evening (01:05), a candid conversation about moving to home church models. What does Francis Chan's home church ministry, We Are Church, say about starting home church? Smaller churches or home church might be better than the current Church Inc model but what are the pitfalls to ...

We draft our top 10 songs that have days of the week in the title. Israel is spending millions on a campaign aimed at churches to boost support. American "religiosity" is at an all time low. Is that good or bad? Maybe the answer to that question can help reform the Church in America and lead to a church DOGE.
