Jonty and Ness break down the 2014 film Heaven Is For Real with special guest Richard Penisini.

Jonty and Ness crack open the Bible and dive into some of the most famous Bible verses that are used to talk about homosexuality to see what they actually say. We also hear from both Matthew Vines and Caleb Kaltenbach on these verses from a New York Times piece called Debating Bible Verses on Sexuality.

Jonty and Ness dive into week one of a series on sexuality and intimacy by talking about how they first became aware of sexuality as a child and where those perceptions came from, before talking about the virtues and dangers of sex on screen. Ness has a good ol' fashioned rant in vent central, and Jonty reveals his inner gaming loser.
