E12: Trinity - Pt 1 (ft David Artman)

In the first part of this two part episode, we interview David Artman, author of Grace Saves All. David's book is an elegant treatise on the nature of grace, and it's power to restore everything. This is called Hopeful Christian Universalism. He effectively challenges the status quo that has existed for centuries. But in doing so, he gives every human being a renewed sense of who God is and what is the response to humanity's issues.Part 1 dives into the heart of the book, the nature of Grace, reconstructing our image of God based on grace, hell, the depth of God's forgiveness, how hard it is to accept God's grace, and historical perspectives, We touch on the mental health crisis and how hell has played a massive role in our mental health.David's argument is that in grace, everyone is restored (compassion) but no one gets away with it (restorative justice). This episode is meant to challenge your theological perceptions and give our listeners something to chew on, that we think is deeply restorative. David is both humble and ridiculously smart, and we chew on some of the hardest parts of the book.FYI: We asked David what character he was in The Matrix, and he chose Trinity, which we all thought was perfect. Trinity was the one who believed in love when everything was lost. That fit David's journey perfectly.Website: https://www.davidartman.net/David's Podcast: https://www.davidartman.net/podcast
