## Resource

In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with Shooting the Skybalon, where Eric shares about getting a suspicious “Royal Mail” scam letter straight from the UK. In Shady Theology, they dive into the debate over once saved, always saved—what it means and why Christians don’t all agree. In The Megachurch Moment, they react to Joel Osteen’s unexpected interview with Jake Paul. Finally, in Houston, We Have a Question, they wrestle with a big-picture question: will we remember Earth and our lives here when we’re with God? It’s curious, conversational, and just the right amount of spicy—welcome to Not the Sermon.
