Making Disciples with Rev Dr Cris Rogers

271. Is It True That All Sin is Equal?

In this episode, Cris looks at the great question of whether all sins are really the same in God’s eyes, and why Jesus never actually said that they were. Drawing on the words of Christ from the Gospels, he explores how Scripture speaks of greater responsibility, greater harm, and greater accountability, especially where power is abused and the vulnerable are hurt. This episode unpacks the difference between weakness and wickedness, justice and mercy, and shows how a careful reading of Jesus’ teaching reveals a God who takes harm seriously while still offering forgiveness to all who turn to Him.

270. Hell, the Abyss and the God Who Entres Darkness

In this week’s episode, Cris unpacks for us a Christian theology of hell by going back to the Bible, and by taking seriously both Scripture and the stories that shape our imagination.

Drawing on themes from Struck in the Upside Down and the world of Stranger Things, this episode explores hell not as a cartoonish torture chamber or Satan’s kingdom, but as what the Bible more consistently presents it to be, the abyss, the pit, the place where life collapses in on itself when cut off from God.

268. Satan, Myth or Reality? What the Bible Actually Says

This week's episode, Cris walks us through what the Bible actually says about the evil one, satan, the devil, cutting through speculation and myth to focus on Scripture itself. Tracing the biblical story, we explore who Satan is, how he operates through deception and accusation, the nature of the evil he promotes, and what the Bible says about his ultimate defeat. Along the way, the episode keeps Jesus at the centre, reminding us that Satan is not an equal opposite to God, nor the ruler of hell, but a defeated enemy whose power has been broken at the cross and whose final judgement is certain.

267. Should Christians Watch Stranger Things?

In this episode we explore the big question, should Christians watch Stranger Things, and why the answer is not as simple as yes or no. Instead, we look at how followers of Jesus can practise wise and thoughtful discernment with the stories we take in. The conversation moves beyond rules and into formation, asking what shapes our imagination, what draws us towards Christ, and what quietly pulls us away.
