Richard Radio begins in three, two, one.

Now, I am not reintroducing the idea of purgatory, but on the other hand, I do believe the baby

was sworn out with a bathwater. With that came a belief, when you die, you're instantaneously

and magically made perfect. The soul of someone who dies immediately goes into eternity.

There is no place where you make up for your sins. There is no purgatory. In the twinkling

of an eye, we shall be changed. It's time for Richard Radio, with Todd Friel.

Here we go. It's the Richard Radio, mail-called delivery bag, Q&A infotainment nationwide

extravaganza, featuring your voicemails, correspondences, communicates, dispatches, memorandums,

and misses. Any special message for all the kids watching at home? What we need right now

is a clear message to the people of this country. You have twelve hundred messages.

It is a bit above average. Now, here's your host, Todd, freakishly tall Friel.

Come here, Richard!

Ooh, this is Richard Radio. Thank you, because you've been sending really great stuff,

not just articles, sermons, but also questions. Don't know why, but I'm really...

Okay, this is going to... this is going to sound like a complete contradiction.

I'm encouraged by your challenges. Not happy that you've got challenges, but so often,

when we hear these questions, the conundrums that are going on in the local church or in families,

it's like, oh yeah, we got that too. Oh, I know somebody who's dealing with that,

and it is helpful that other people maybe hear something about your situation that helps them.

So, thank you for sending questions, comments, conundrum, snarks to idea at wretched.org.

All right, we start with Noah. Todd, how would you fill in the blank?

Finish this sentence. Jimmy...
