The question for this podcast is: "Are there different levels of how bad sin is, or in God's eyes are all sins equally bad? For example, if someone wishes someone else was dead, is that the same level of bad or sin as actual murder? If so and we are forgiven what is holding us back? Or another way of putting it, is looking at someone with lust the same as having an affair in God's eyes? Are all sins the same?"

Question for this podcast was = At times I feel Spiritual connection when watching sports and music. There is a thrill in watching the interaction of players/artists creating something unquestionably “good” and sharing that experience with many people. It feels deeply meaningful. The creation of art and peak performance should be celebrated. It bothers me when pious Christians think sport or music is dumb or waste our time.My question is: should sports and music be celebrated in Christian culture? Why or why not?
