A surprising number of students in Chris and Wayne’s school have expressed an interesting “fear of eternity.” And not just the normal fear of the idea of hell… but fearing existing forever. Why should we be excited about eternity, and how do we help students catch that same excitement? As Chris and Wayne discuss eternity and the human perception of time, they also play with the topics of relativity, heaven, and boredom.

In this episode, Chris and Wayne explore the difficult and complicated nature of those spaces where local churches and parachurch organizations overlap. Listen as we ask: What is the Church? How do Christian schools fit into that bigger picture? And what happens when churches and organizations operate within a capitalistic system and worldview?
