The October 23rd CALL IN HOUR

October 23, 2025

In this episode of The Call-In Hour, Shawn and Delaney open with lighthearted banter about Halloween before diving into a deep discussion on the relationship between the spiritual and material world. Shawn addresses questions about his attraction to mystical ideas like alchemy and clarifies that while he resonates with art, symbolism, and esoteric thought, his devotion is first and foremost to Christ and the Spirit—not to mysticism. Together, they unpack how gifts and interests belong to the “spirit of man,” while faith and truth belong to God.

The conversation then moves through viewer questions about sin, repentance, and the fulfilled perspective. They explain that while sin has real consequences in this life, it has been fully covered through Christ’s finished work. Repentance, they argue, begins in the mind, not behavior, and true faith replaces the need for striving under law.

Later, callers Charlie and Daniel join the discussion—Charlie asking about the “wash and rinse cycle” metaphor for spiritual growth, and Daniel exploring the historical meaning of “gospel.” These dialogues lead to reflections on knowledge, faith, and how belief bridges the gap between what is known and what is true. The show closes with a reflection on accusations of “cultism,” the meaning of orthodoxy, and the insistence that real faith must remain free, subjective, and rooted in love, not control.
