Naughty vs Nice: A Christian Podcast100: What Really Happens When You Die? — The Truth About Heaven, Sleep, and the SoulIn our 100th episode, Todd, Laura, and Kelly unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity — what actually happens when you die. Do we go straight to heaven? Do we sleep until the resurrection? Is the “immortal soul” even biblical?
Todd challenges the centuries-old belief that our souls are naturally eternal — tracing its roots from Plato and Hellenistic philosophy into early church doctrine. Laura brings a thoughtful pastoral angle, exploring the emotional and theological implications of rethinking heaven, hell, and what death really means in light of biblical Hebrew worldview rather than Western tradition.

Naughty vs Nice: A Christian Podcast99: Abiding in Christ vs. Legalism: How to Bear Real Fruit (John 15, Romans 7)What does it actually mean to abide in Jesus—and why do so many of us still live like we’re married to the law? In this episode of Naughty vs Nice, Todd, Laura, and Kelly unpack John 15, Romans 7, and Galatians 3 to show why abiding is a relational union with Christ, not a performance checklist.

Why do some people look transformed but are really just wearing religion as a mask?

Naughty vs Nice: A Christian Podcast96: Religion vs. Relationship: Why Christian Nationalism (and Other “Religions”) Miss the GospelTodd, Laura, and Kelly dig into the core difference between religion (me telling God how He should be satisfied) and relationship (loving God as He has revealed Himself in Christ).
