In today's episode, Tim engages in a profound conversation with Mako Nagasawa about restorative justice, healing atonement, and the complexities of faith. They explore various atonement theories, the journey of deconstruction, and the implications of parenting on understanding God. The discussion delves into the contrast between restorative and retributive justice, the challenges posed by Christian nationalism, and the importance of recognizing the multifaceted nature of human beings.
