Welcome back to the Gospel Truth Project! After a brief hiatus to recenter on God's will, Jason returns with a brand new, multi-part series: Let's Discuss Christianity.

What happens when we set aside our cultural assumptions and actually put some of the toughest questions about our faith to the test of Scripture and early church history? In this foundational solo Q&A episode, Jason tackles five massive questions sourced directly from the community. Moving beyond modern therapeutic emotionalism, he opens the Word to uncover what it truly means to follow Christ through active obedience and a disciplined faith.

Join us as we explore:

• Grace and Obedience: Harmonizing Ephesians 2 and James 2 to demonstrate that while salvation is entirely by grace alone, true faith always breathes the oxygen of good works.
• Prima Scriptura vs. Solo Scriptura: Why isolating yourself with a Bible and ignoring 2,000 years of church history and the Apostolic Fathers (like Clement of Rome and Ignatius) is a dangerous breeding ground for heresy.
• Religion vs. Relationship: Rescuing the Greek word thrēskeia (religion) from modern evangelical disdain and explaining why a true relationship with Christ requires the structured discipline of pure religion (James 1:27).
• The Reality of Hell: A sobering, biblical look at God honoring human free will, defusing the idea of a cosmic torture chamber, and understanding why C.S. Lewis was right when he said, "All that are in hell choose it."
• The Hard Truth on Earthly Suffering: Deflating the prosperity gospel and answering the devastating question: Does coming to Christ mean my mental health, finances, and relationships will be fixed? (Spoiler: He promises eternal holiness, not an easy earthly life).

Whether you are struggling with the exhaustion of "cheap grace" or seeking clarity on the biblical cost of discipleship, this conversation is designed to point you directly back to the cross. Grab your Bible, open your heart, and let's define our terms together. Christ is King!
