Summary
My patreon supporters sent in tons of questions, some which I address on this podcast. Some questions include: What would a perfect church look like in my opinion? Did Judas go to hell. Is Chrisitan rock music sinful? When do I feel most intimate with God? Should Pastors copy other people’s sermons? Would the Canon of Scripture look different if women were involved in the putting it together? What’s my view of the intermediate state? Did the Pharisees and Jesus hold to eternal conscious torment? And several more.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. Today is a Q and |
| 0:29.3 | a podcast every month. My Patreon supporters send in a whole grip load of questions and |
| 0:35.5 | I answer about half of them on the Patreon only podcast and the other half on a public |
| 0:40.3 | podcast, which is this one that you're listening to right now. So I will dive in. I got a lot |
| 0:45.4 | of really good and thoughtful questions. I spent all morning typing out a bunch of notes |
| 0:51.4 | and we'll see how this goes. There's some really juicy ones here. First question from Davis. |
| 0:56.7 | If you could create your perfect church to attend each week, what would that look like? What |
| 1:01.1 | would be the most biblical church in your mind? Is there a difference between perfect church |
| 1:06.4 | and biblical church? And then Marsha chimed in with a really cool example of a church that she |
| 1:15.2 | attended in San Diego that was a diverse multicultural, great worship. The Jewish context was addressed |
| 1:23.4 | in the teaching and preaching and she goes on to describe the nature of this church, which I |
| 1:27.3 | resonate with a lot of stuff that she talks about there. So I took so many notes. I just kept |
| 1:32.0 | typing and typing and typing on thoughts about what the most perfect church I can imagine would |
| 1:39.1 | look like. Obviously, there's no perfect church. I know some of you are thinking like there is |
| 1:42.7 | no perfect church and I would agree because there's no perfect person. But here are some key features |
| 1:48.0 | that came to my mind as I could, as I was kind of envisioning the kind of church that I would |
| 1:57.6 | really love to see created or one that I would most resonate with. And there's some subjective |
| 2:02.5 | elements here, certain things that I just kind of would prefer that aren't necessarily true or not |
| 2:08.4 | true, just things that are more preferences. So first of all, you know, the first thing I wrote |
| 2:13.3 | is that the centrality of Christ would be evident in everything in the way we watch the kids |
| 2:18.8 | in the nursery and the way we do youth group and the way we do church services and the way we do |
| 2:24.4 | everything like the centrality of Christ. I know it's kind of vague, but I just have to say that |
