I’m so spooked right now!!! I was listening to this in the car & when Kendall started talking about there being multiple gods and knowing which one to follow, a car passed me with the license plate “ONEGOD” it really freaked me out hahaha
Because there is. Yahweh!
Weird timing!!!
There’s no such thing as weird timing. I feel bed for people who ignore the existence of Jesus Christ.
@@taylorharvey4684 it doesn’t just have to be Jesus. The universe responds in vibration.
LOL!
having one of the most morally challenging conversations and janelle is over here in a spongebob sweatshirt lol can't help but laugh
I was just thinking that😂 it adds authenticity!!
Leedle leedle leedle
😂
It’s all about balance 😂
You can see Josh’s physical discomfort; he almost looks panicked. I’m so sorry he was put through that as a child. No kid deserves to fear some all powerful being that’s going to torture them for being “bad”. ❤️
Julia was such a wonderful addition to this episode! She’s so well-spoken and insightful. She acted as the perfect mediator for this discussion.
She is great! We are lucky to have her on our team. 😁
It would be fun to see more people behind the scenes help out with specialties in the camera
I love this episode so much. My brother committed suicide in 2015, I grew up being raised that a sin is a sin but I refuse to believe a hurting mind would be sent to hell. It opened a lot of questions up for me. Great job guys!
Thank you for watching, so sorry about your loss.
I believe this is where reincarnation enters the conversation. You get as many lives as it takes until you get it right enough to finish the life given to you. This also explains ghosts, spirits, pergatory, dejavu and others.
There is no hell. I think the concept was created as a control tactic. Worse case, you reincarnate back here to hell on Earth, until you get it right. Thats how I see it after years of researching NDEs, studying gnosis, and watching Gaia
I've been a Christian for a long time and for what it's worth, I think your mindset is spot on ❤ God really loves your brother
I absolutely agree I have mental illness and I tried to take my life in 2009 God seen me struggling for many years prior to that, so theres no doubt in my mind being depressed is a sickness❤I'm sorry about your Brother God bless you!
My favorite episode so far. I’ve been struggling with my religious identity for years because I love my family who believes in God and the Bible but I personally agree so much with Kendall, specifically because she said it the most this episode, about innocent lives suffering for what? If God is with them, why arnt they protected? Why make them suffer if their lives weren’t meant to be here forever and there is this greater plan? And hearing such honest and respectful opinions have made me take a deep breath and I feel a huge weight off my shoulders that I’m not the only one who has these questions. I love love love love mile higher and the vibe and how SAFE of a space this is.
Love you all❤️ I hope everyone has a great day!

Exactly me I first started watching this channel a couple years ago because I saw their after life video and they put exactly how I was feeling into words I’ve been watching ever since
Religions are a construction of mankind to keep ppl in line with certain values and morals that the person who created them has I believe there is a creator but not in the way we perceive it to be.
You are not alone in your thoughts😊
@@Kris-et4ny ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been deconstructing my faith for ten years now as a gay man. I really relate to everything Josh said and found this episode almost therapeutic to see someone else deals with the same exact trauma.
sending love your way 🫶🏻
@@allisonvaldiviez8588 🤍
Just know that a true loving god would never damn you for loving someone
There are many of us, straight or gay, who deal with this trauma due to the indoctrination we were subjected to as children because of our parents. My husband and myself have trauma from our church riddled childhoods. I, to an extent, understand what you (and Josh) have gone thru. Something I refuse to ever subject my kids to.
No, please don't deconstruct. Message me. I want to help.
This is hands down the best episode y'all have ever done! I absolutely love how open and judgment free the discussion was. If all people could openly discuss and debate things in this manner, the world would be a much happier place.
Totally agree!!!! 🩵
Thank you so much, Amanda. We really enjoyed recording this and it's great that you're enjoying the conversation as much as we did!
I love this kind of conversations! I’m a believer in God and Jesus, I have had some powerful spiritual experiences that made my faith stronger. But I also accept that there are many questions that I will never understand and nobody will because God is not from this world, therefore trying to get all the answers might be pointless and no human will ever have the absolute truth. As Josh said, we have to dig and in my opinion that digging for purpose and meaning is what keeps humans going.
Greetings to my favorite podcasters from Costa Rica ❤️
Perfectly said
Amen! I’m right there with you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Hey amen !
This was an insanely good episode y’all. The questions were very thought provoking and you each spoke openly and honestly while being respectful of the beliefs of others. As a les-bean with one Christian parent who explored many other kinds of spiritualities, went down the Christian path at 26, and has now deconstructed their faith heavily while still believing in (a non homophobe) God, this is a subject I love to discuss and hear about.
Glad you enjoyed!
❤
I’m not a Christian, I wasn’t raised a Christian, but the ultimate answer seems very clear to me.
In simple terms, God says to follow the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. Nowhere does it say you must follow anybody else’s interpretation of it other than your own. Ostensibly, Jesus’ teachings are pretty darn wise. It’s how so-called Christians choose to interpret the teachings that are problematic. The Bible doesn’t kill people; people kill people. Thus, follow nobody’s interpretation of the Bible but your own and you won’t get led astray.
Perhaps it’s not that there is a predetermined reason for everything,. Perhaps things happen, but it’s up to us to exercise our free will to determine what that reason is and if it’s even important. Reasons don’t always have to be big and meaningful; they can also be small and insignificant…and which reason is which is up to us to determine.
I’m a Christian and could not agree more with everything you just said. THANK YOU for explaining it. I was going to comment but couldn’t get my thoughts in order lol
Amen 🙏 🔥💯
"Nowhere does it say you must follow anybody else's interpretation of it other than your own"..."It's how so-called Christians choose to interpret the teachings that are problematic"
Those you refer to as 'so-called Christians' are following their own interpretation of the Bible, but you judge them because it's an interpretation you may not agree with. You're so close to closing the loop.
The Bible says you mustn't follow anybody else's interpretation of the text.
2 Peter 1:20 NKJV
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation
2 Peter 1:20 ESV
Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation
Wow, great comment!
Just wanna put this out there- boredom in Heaven isn’t supposed to exist. It’s eternal bliss, so no negative emotions… sadness, boredom, hunger, etc.
we can’t comprehend that because we have only lived the human existence so far which includes boredom and all the negative emotions.
I had this exact thought while listening
Perfectly said
After death is bliss because your energy is then released to everything else. All we are is energy held together by flesh. Once our energy is released from our brain which contains the negativity it will no longer exist.
Yes !!!
I was partially raised by Native Traditional Grandfather who was a Native medicine man, all my life I heard people call him a witch, In my eyes it was sooooo far from that. I SAW him heal nurmerous people, i heard him direct people to find traditional medicines within our forests etc.. also heard some scary stories too but I wouldnt have choosen any other life except my mine., I witness my whole life seeing my grandfather talk to the spirit world and heard him spoke a few languages coming from a guy who only went to school till grade 3. I am sooo immensly honoured I got to see him speak to the Star Gods and heard many stories about Heaven and Hell. It kinda let me go through life with grace and truste and to never give up or settle for anything less because of the information I accumulated, one day ill write a book, because i would love everyone to go through life without being afraid or hinderous because of faith..
While I'm not the biggest Fan of shape shifting and weremials, bc these "legends" effing sacre me to the tee and I don't think every culture would have at least 1-2 of those if tehre wouldn't be a trace of "truth" to them ...to me that sounds pretty cool and it certainly made you belife in a certain things others wouldn't even dare to belife in, right?
Janelle bringing up the thought of someone you love not coming to heaven with you is really what got me years ago when I starting doubting every single thing I’d believed. Then I seen someone I loved very much who I know what such a genuinely good person, I seen them suffer in severe pain for a long time before they passed away in a way I’ll never get over. Never. And then my aunt explaining to me that she puts her husband before her children, her husband before herself, because the Bible tells her to….I just really don’t understand that kind of life. I believe in a God, but not the scenario I’d been told of in my life.
Josh knows a ton he’s a wise man .
I didn’t expect for him to know so much about the Bible
I knew he grew up Christian but many aren’t even familiar with the Bible well.
And he is
It’s cool to see
And it’s interesting because he’s an example of someone who’s not a religious church goer yet he’s more familiar with Gods word than many who are religious church goers.
is he wise when he knows so much about bible? No. I knew so much about Bible but nothing beside it
Many times that’s the case. I went to bible college and the amount of people who were devout Christians going in and came out of college after taking hours and hours of theology classes completely deconstructing their beliefs is astounding. (Myself included)
It's not "god's" word. It's man's word pretending to be a god.
i know this is a serious convo but Josh saying "one of the problems with Hell for me" is just so funny 😭
and Kendall telling him this is not just for the game 😂
LMAO
Janelle shouting out Jesus for dying for our sins KILLED ME. 😂😂😂
She so real for that 😭
Just was coming to say the same thing. Absolutely hilarious
I really appreciate Josh for being open minded about these things.
Mannnn this one got deep! Josh, you have no idea how much I’ve prayed for you over the last few months. Seriously. I see a real dilemma on your heart because you DO know God, you’ve experienced too much to deny it. And you proved my thoughts with what you said here.
I love Kendall so much, I’ll never stop supporting what she does but she sees your hurt and trauma from the past and has a hard time seeing past that. Praying for you both, I don’t know what the right path is for your family but God is definitely speaking to you both. 🤍
Agreed
i could’ve watched y’all talk abt this for 2 more hours. i love when y’all have these types of conversations, it’s what got me into y’all in the first place. please do more! much love
pls do more philosophy/thought experiment podcasts (:
I second this! Soo soo refreshing 🙌
Yes I love it ❣️
I've been wanting this episode for so long! I love hearing Josh talk about his upbringing because I relate so much to it. And then I love Kendall's responses because that's how I feel now and how I'm trying to raise my kids. It's such a cool dynamic to see! ❤
Pausing to comment… Josh you’re doing a great job. You & Kendall do so much good in this world. I relate to Josh’s religious trauma so much being that I grew up in the same type of environment and to this day I’m still healing & I sometimes have similar debates that keep me up. 💖
I totally agree. Some people don’t realize the toll religious trauma takes on many of us. It can be a difficult healing journey.
Religious trauma is such an awful thing, I'm sorry you're dealing with that.
Josh is incredible. Respectful and intelligent! I grew up in a super Christian family, and turned away from it in adulthood when I started thinking for myself. But then I had my first son, and he passed away at 2.5 months old. I IMMEDIATELY went straight back to Christianity because it’s all I knew, and at that moment I NEEDED to know that my son was in a better place and that he was still somewhere, and safe. I became obsessed with NDEs, because it helped me cope. Now I believe that all religions are a little bit right. There is DEF something special about us as a species, and someday I will be reunited with my son again ❤️
Josh, you have a child now so it is natural to feel insecurities and second guess yourself on a subconscious level considering how you were programmed when young. That would explain your dreams IMO.
As someone who was raised similarly to Kendall & Janelle, it is such a monumental experience to hear everything that Josh & Julia had to say. My mind went 50 miles higher this evening. Thank yall so much 😂❤
I love how Josh said he was questioning heaven to his church and then flatters himself with “this requires a high level of thinking.” ☠️
Virgo things ? If we (would) belife in that then.
@@annasaddiction5129 I’m also a virgo man so yeah. Virgo things lol
Laughed out loud when Kendall said “for funsies” 😂😂😂😂😂
Religious trauma is the worst, I love this episode, but it is giving me horrible anxiety!
I really love that you can all have differing opinions and perspectives in a safe and respectful environment ❤️
You should all see The Good Place is a really good show is about the After Life with Kristen Bell who play's someone who was a "bad person" and accidentally gets into the good place. Is funny but also gets deep into what the good place and the bad place are and who should go where.
This video kept making me think of the good place! Such an interesting entertaining but thought provoking series there’s a lot of philosophy in it too
I was about to comment the same thing!!!
Welcome Julia!! I absolutely enjoyed your take, ideas and insights!! You’re such a wonderful addition to behind the camera! You rocked this episode. I hope to see you on mile higher again soon.
Omg another Julia that also got a degree in Philosophy and is on the show of my favourite podcast? So iconic 🫶🏻
Amazing 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Oh this is a fascinating episode. Please do more of these with other philosophical conversations!!
I’m ALREADY stoked about this topic!
I think what Josh said is so relatable as someone who went through a similar background, its a daily question, something that wont ever go away
I just think about “energy cannot be created nor destroyed” so for a person who has passed away, their energy is still around…somewhere..if they had negative energy then it becomes something uneasy, if they had positive energy then their energy is converted into some positive form of energy
As a Christian, this was cool to hear y’all’s perspectives. I was a little nervy to listen, but I’m glad I did! It’s good to hear other perspectives & challenge why you believe what you do.
I was a little nervy too and actually didn’t bring myself to watch it until now because I pretty much knew how most of them think of it all 😂 but I am so glad Josh has such a great knowledge of the Bible that he basically has the biblical answer to everything and they can all give their perspectives on it and it was a pretty good conversation to listen to. I definitely have answers to some things Kendall had concerns about that I think would help her understand why we believe this way
I'm so glad to find likeminded individuals here! I've always felt so left out and feel HATRED seething out of their (Kendalls) mouths sometimes. I avoided watching this until now, it's been two months lol. Now watching it, I realise that 1) not bad, pretty interesting and 2) Josh definitely does NOT have a biblical answer to everything BUT I appreciate him trying and always being respectful❤
@@MyriamBernard13 when I say he has a biblical answer to everything, it’s more that he just has great knowledge about the Bible and can counter everything through that, even if he doesn’t quite get everything or answer it truly from a Christian’s perspective. He was definitely more respectful about it all and I feel for him as he battles with believing the Bible or believing his wife…
This episode drew me in and kept me there... I also question alot about the religion/ spirituality and all that comes with it along with experiencing how frustrated people get with you when you question such.
I can really resonate with what Josh said, and feels. I grew up the same way and its terrifying to be told all your life as a child that whatever you do that is "fun" in life is a sin, and you'll burn in hell for all eternity... unless you ask God to forgive you of your sins and repent. I think as a child you learn to fear hell, and Satan more than loving God. Terrifying as a child, crippling as an adult. I know it can be hard, Josh, but you have others that feel the same. You're not alone in your struggle, and I hope you can find inner peace ❤️
As a Christian, GREAT episode! Just now got the chance to watch it. But loved this & love that you were all open enough to do it! Josh, I can see how this would be incredibly hard with the stance you’re at right now in your own personal beliefs. I really could see Kendall becoming a Christian if she explored it enough and was open enough. And I say that in all respect. I think she’s open enough to do so. But I’m sure it could be incredibly hard. But her kind heart. The love and faith you can receive is something you have to experience to understand. And once you do. Its wonderful. I want nothing but the best for all of you & I hope God really does bless each of you! ❤🥰
Amen❤
When Kendall said that at the end you couldn’t start believing reminded me of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross when one of the other men crucified with him said he believed and was saved right then and there. Unlike the other guy who basically told Jesus to shut up because he didn’t believe in that kind of thing.
This is my absolute favorite episode y’all have made so far! I LOVE deep and thought provoking discussions especially about taboo subjects, and y’all never fail to make me think about *my* beliefs and why I believe that way. And you do it with such compassion and openness! I wish the rest of the world could have such safe and respectful conversations!
Keep taking us a Mile Higher ❤🏔️
Such an interesting episode I loved it! I’m a Christian and love Jesus and my beliefs. Even if I wanted to not believe I wouldn’t be able to. But I find learning about what people believe in to be fascinating.
Absolutely agree!!
GOD is so awesome to us🙏🏾🙏🏾💗
Another thing you guys should look at is if TRUE selflessness actually exists. Do you donate out of true selflessness, or do you do it because it makes you feel good and look good? Even when you dont expect anything back, it's usually motivated at least partially by a desire for the "warm fuzzy feeling". There was a guy who literally drove himself mad trying to prove or disprove this. He started being generous to the point of ruining his life, only to then realize that he STILL wasn't being truly selfless because he was motivated by a desire to prove something.
I am already in love with Julia, she is smart. And love you Josh and Kendall for bringing such topics to the masses. And love to Janelle too, her inputs sometimes really open up the conversation to more dimensions and perspectives.
usually a silent listener but i wanted to comment on my appreciation for this episode. i think i learned more about this topic in 2 hours than i have in all my years of living. both sides were explained & supported wonderfully, and really opened my mind to so many different possibilities. i think that is the most important takeaway - there are so many different possibilities. to live with an open mind rather than believing in a "one size fits all" God or higher power is what's beautiful about spirituality. it's different for everyone.
Julia was wonderful! All of you are! Thank you! 💚 I usually avoid these discussions due to anxiety and evoking depression, but I’ve been in a good headspace recently and was able to really take this information in and think about things without spiraling. Thank you guys!
I'm a Christian and I of course don't agree with a lot of this but it was interesting to hear how others think/believe. I don't fear going to hell. The bible says if you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you will be with Him for eternity. I know it's hard to understand, especially if you don't know Him. You don't have to jump through hoops to get to heaven. Just believe in Jesus and accept Him into your life.
LOVE this episode so much!! Also, I totally relate to Josh when he was talking about dealing with guilt and the moral dilemma around religion. I also grew up extremely Christian and am currently pregnant. I always thought that I was healed from my childhood beliefs and traumas but now that I’m having kids, I’m having those thoughts creep back into my mind and it literally keeps me up at night 😅Am I going to raise my children right? What if Christianity really is legit and now I’m not living right with my family and we are all destined for “eternity in hell”? When I actually sit back and think about it, I don’t think that’s the case and I left the church for a reason.. but it’s hard not to have those thoughts come up. Glad I’m not the only one!
Oh man it’s so hard girl coming from my experience 😅 my parents always question and judge me for not teaching my kids anything about Christianity lol
These philosophical discussions are always so interesting, it really gets my brain working and thinking all the possibilities. Love it. Hope you do more.
Yes Josh, I agree. The afterlife and God, etc. is way more complex than our brains can even handle. Personally I grew up the way you did and left the church before returning on my own terms years later, only by knowing there’s more to this all than we know. I do believe Christ is the main message, but it’s not nearly as cut as dry as we have been told by humans.
This is an actual video of my 4 best brain cells grappling my daily thoughts
Such a good episode! We love Julia!! Hope to see you on camera again!! 🫶
To answer josh asking why would the devil torture us instead of building a army of us. Is that he is already doomed. And he wants to take as many of us as he can with him. Also in the Bible it is stated that God created man in his own image. Therefore we are a reminder of what the devil hates.
Exactly
i LOVE this style video. The only thing that sucks about it is that I cant jump through the screen and join the conversation myself 😩
This is one of your best episodes yet guys!!! Loved hearing each of your perspectives.
I love hearing Josh speak about religion. It helps a lot of ex-Mormons deal.
41:11 Pascal's wager - you could change the outcome to suit your preference, but that changes the wager altogether and creates significant bias. It would then be Kendall's Wager 😊
Favorite episode of all time probably! I would love to hear more religious debates and philosophical questions with Julia!!
When i was 15years old cherch helped me alot and met alot of young people who did i was raised as cathelic we dont go to church every sunday but then i was teanager it had such impact aqt one point i considered become a nun. 15years later living with my boyfrined not married with a baby , and loads of people would think we live in sin. But i still find myself praying and asking for safety and healf for my baby . Its hard because tjen u become a parent u want all thats best for your child . I think i am believer
Kendall, as soon as you said the words “Did any of you ever see….” I KNEW that you were going to bring up Friend or Foe. I also loved the GSN as a kid and loved that show. I remember rooting for them to split it as friends every time, but almost always one person chose Foe and took all the money.
I’m a pot smokin, foul mouthed, good time, god still loves me and he loves you too!!❤️ ✌️
😂
Having Julia there was so awesome! In the future might I recommend including some theologians (priests, rabis, imams, swamis, monks, etc.) from various backgrounds. I think it would help inform the discussion and questioning.
Julia: " Jesus died for our sins"
Janelle: "Shout out" ✌🏻😚✌🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was an awesome episode! Loved seeing Julia as part of this conversation too!
Also, Janelle, your SpongeBob shirt is LIT! I want one! 💖
Im with Kendal! Non believer and I’m ok with it
I strayed away from the church for years then just prayed to a generic god to point me in the right direction. I then found my husband and he always emphasized any issues you have with god is usually people related. And being a new religious woman when you do go that route you definitely aren't missing out you gain so much more.
When people ask..how can god let this happen, why did he take them...god has nothing to do with that. He doesn't give someone cancer or get someone in an accident. This is just life. He doesn't take people away for a greater purpose, or have a better plain for them.
If you believe in god and adam and Eve, this is the life we live. Because of eves choices. We are on earth and things that happenal are a product of the world we live in.
We see god when we die. And when he comes home, his kingdom comes, his will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Kendall and Josh are so genuine and natural and true. Nothing fake,nothing said or done to create a persona or to impress others but in the same time full acceptance in themselves
Woooow BEST EPISODE EVER!!! One of the best podcast episodes I've listened to in general. Well done guys , and Julia was such an amazing addition. Please can she come back for more episodes ❤
I totally understand your experience Josh, I grew up in a fairly religious family and went to private schools until I was in 8th grade. My family ended up drifting from being super religious and I eventually found myself spiritually when I was in college, but I still often have thoughts and worries about “what if heaven and hell are real.” I don’t really believe they are, but it’s ingrained in my mind from my upbringing.
i loved listening to the four of you; it was an open-minded, respectful, and compelling discussion. i felt kendall's pure heart when she was asking why animals have to suffer if they aren't allowed to develop spiritually -- this would imply that their suffering is needless, and therefore cruel.
i wonder the same thoughts because my heart breaks for animals that are mistreated or harmed by humans. i think we have an obligation to treat them with respect and kindness whenever its appropriate and safe for us to do so.
Hey Josh - I hear you about traumatic church experiences. I am a Christian and grew up Catholic, then became Protestant, ended up in a very culty church, but made it out with my faith intact and found healthier churches. I have had dreams from God as well as dreams processing through the old trauma. I just want to remind you of what you probably learned already..that God will give you wisdom to know which one it is - you only need to ask! I have no idea, but I pray in the name of Jesus that if He is trying to get your attention, that Jesus, you would make this so evident to Josh. I pray you lead him to grace filled places and people, and that he would taste and see that You are good. Amen 🙏🏻 Josh, thank you for being so transparent and vulnerable! I enjoy listening to you and Kendall so much and appreciate y’all! 😊
I believe that we are in hell now and that you are supposed be positive about life or learn some kind of lesson to be able to go to heaven. But "going to hell" is just coming back and living another life.
Only Josh can bring something about the experiment in the beginning back to aliens lol
When Josh said “what is the point” Bc no really what’s the point to all of this. Intriguing episode!
As someone who also has religious trauma and was brainwashed from day 1, and just recently left christianity...I love hearing Josh's experience, super relatable. My family doesnt know I no longer believe in god, im scared to tell them..I have nightmares where my parents and family/old church friends kill my boyfriend cause they think he turned me into a non believer 😆 my family is amazing i love them they would never its just wild it gets in my nightmares lol...
Anywayyys lol Love these kinds of videos! Keep it up guys love yall ❤
I loved this thought journey! Thanks for being here Julia!
I agreed with Josh and Julia. And maybe just because I was raised Catholic. I guess, and those thoughts about heaven, and hell never leave you.
Dying at Kendall learning the devils Angel name was Lucifer because i didn’t know either sis🤣🤣 she had us both like “he kept the same name?” 🤔😂
Cradle Catholic here. Brought up in the church but am no longer practicing. Religious trauma is ever present.
One thing I am grateful to Catholic school for was the diverse ‘Religious Education’ that led me to studying Theology at University and delving into it continuously throughout this life. Looking into everything from ancient cave art to Zoroastrian, Hinduism, lAbrahamic religions to new age stuff and all in between. Catholic school was the first to bring up this diversity in spiritual thought. My children have been raised to question, delve into interests and to try and leave all things/people /places a little better than how they found them.
Religious trauma, heaven/hell/fear is always in the background of my mind. I feel those without it seem much more at peace in themselves.
I'm here for the behind the scenes stuff! Love meeting other employees!
You’re listening to Creflo Dollar & Kenneth Copeland no matter you ave a negative opinion about Christianity! 😢
Suggestions: Pastor’s Jack Hibbs, Greg Laurie, John MacArthur, Voddie Bauchman are just a few. And Ray Comfort. My son went on a journey of belief when he was 18 yrs old. He wondered if he believed because he was raised to believe or if what his belief. He searched by watching dvd’s on archaeological proofs. He went to be with the Lord on June 20,2020 & I know where he’s at! 🙌🏻♥️
Josh got Audio Adrenaline in my head now! What a fantastic episode, grew up in an extremely Christian household and have been deconstructing for a couple years now. Loved it
1:01:02 i haven't been to church in a long time but from what i remember, when in Heaven you're mainly worshipping Him and just being in awe
Subscriber since the beginning here! This episode was fantastic ✨ really mind opening and I enjoyed listening to everyone’s opinions - honestly this could’ve been 10 hours long and I’d listen to the end and still want more 🌙
Me too. A group of not so likeminded individuals discussing this is much more authentic than a group of who let likeminded people having the same discussion.
The eternal heaven issue is literally why I stopped blindly following Catholicism. It made me so nervous and I had such impending doom surrounding the fact that I would wander heaven for all of eternity.. even though it’s supposed to be beautiful and amazing. It makes me feel so sad and scared
It’s very intresting to hear that people actually ponder what happens after you die. For me I have always just thought (and still think) that when we die, we just die. And I don’t find it sad or that it makes life worthless. I just think that’s how life is and how the cycle of life goes. To me that’s just how nature and the population works. This was a very intresting episode to listen to, thank you all❤
"Bhagavad Gita As It Is" answers soooo many of these questions about God, life, death. The science of God. The song of God.
I think generally most parents look to religion as an aid to bringing up kids with a solid understanding of right and wrong and being a good person. I think organized religion and God are 2 vastly different things and I think we sometimes allow organized religion to taint our view of God. would love more episodes like this. so interesting. comments here really interesting too. love julias insight. and all the work she does behind the scenes. content is super thorough. I believe there is something after this, maybe not a literal version of heaven, tangible and 3 dimensional but more an energy. just like I don't think hell is literally burning in fire. not sure what it is but I dont want it. Like Julia said I think all we can do is be the best person we can and try to keep our hearts pure and kind, show compassion and forgiveness, respect life and love. be a good human to others and to yourself.
💯
I grew up in a country that believe in Jesus~ Religious country actually.. Philippines.. i grew up believing.. but now im grown up living abroad.. Im having doubts😓when my father passed away.. anxiety hits me.. these thoughts in my mind.. heaven and hell.. these makes me less sleep at night~ taking medicines now for my anxiety, i don’t even wanna talk about religions and aliens and where the people had passed go.. sleepless nights.. i had escaped it but 2years ago my mom and brother passed away last 2021.. and again my anxiety attacks me every night.. where did they go? Is there really heaven? These makes me go crazy.. makes me cry of frustration bcoz of questions no one knows the answer.
This is one of my favorite episodes so far. LOVE this type of conversations! Please do more of these in the future.
Just my two cents but w Josh I went through the same dilemma. I grew up Christian but once we stopped going to church and praying I got lost , now that I'm older I know there is a God and I think you know this too.
To answer Josh’s question: Why would satan tournament people in Hell when he wants them there? Because he hates us. He hates God. And he’s jealous of us, and of God. Even people who don’t believe are created in the image of God, and we are God’s most prized creation. James 1:18 - “And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.”
Such a thought provoking episode, I love it! and relate to a lot of the things said because I'vehad many of the same thoughts. I'll have to listen to it again, and will probably revisit it a few times. Awesome job 👏
My head is definitely spinning with this episode! Such amazing points and questions. Great job Mile Higher Team!!!
So Jehovah witnesses believe in paradise essentially its the same as heaven but what stuck out to me as a kid is they believe that we are all brothers and sisters up there so our family wont be our family in paradise we would go up there and our loved ones from earth would be strangers im pretty sure learning that as a kid is what made me really disconnect from god bc i dont wanna go anywhere i dont recognize the people i love. I been watching for a long time and this episode has been my favorite by far yall did insanely good with this one 🫶🏼
I had no idea that's how Jehovah's translated that lol, we are all Brothers and sisters in christ because we are all Gods Children.
Josh has BECOME the "Aliens" meme... I always know he Is gonna go "aliens" 😂 Josh Is gonna get invated to the aliens secret session for sure
Ecclesiastes 3:18-22. I've always taken that to basic say that we suffer the same fate as the animals and they as us. So if a human soul can rise then the animals can.
What a great episode, might be my favorite one yet. It was great meeting Julia too.
