BACK40 E131 - God's Repentance, Disbelief in Hell, Resilience

In this episode we start with news of a plague in Russia and what Summit would do if it had to walk through something like COVID again. We talk about why the church would keep its doors open, how to weigh facts and data after 2020, and what it means to lead when every decision applies to everyone. Next we talk about the repentance of God in Genesis 6, where the Lord was sorry he had made man. We discuss the Hebrew word behind it, the sovereignty of God, and how God can grieve while his plan never changes. From there we turn to people who say there cannot be a hell. We talk about the belief that people are basically good, reducing God to love while forgetting his holiness, and what the limits of our caring reveal about us. We finish on resilience in ministry and marriage. We discuss why resilience is a daily choice and a muscle, how our daily rhythms follow our affections for Christ, and why you prepare for the storm before it hits.
