Through a candid testimony, reflective perspective from Chris Jones, and practical questions, we explore how church routines can comfort yet leave souls untransformed.

Chris Jones explores Oppenheimer’s famous Bhagavad Gita quote, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds,” and what it tells us about pride, ambition, and the dangers of “because we can” thinking. This episode links ancient myths, the Manhattan Project, and modern influencer culture to show how a broken transfer of wisdom and self-serving pride serves as the serpent’s venom within us.

We often confuse our identity—the core essence (our heart) of who we are and how we choose—with our persona, the character we play to fit into the social world. That character is just a mask, rooted in the Latin meaning of the word. But what happens when we lean too heavily into the mask? We become NPCs (Non-Player Characters) in our own lives and, worse, in the stories of those around us.

In this deep dive, we use the parable of The Good Samaritan and a modern-day workplace conflict to reveal the critical difference between obeying social roles and manifesting humanity. It's not enough to avoid doing bad; true goodness, and true identity, is defined by the action we take when confronted with suffering. Learn how to choose discipline over emotion, drop the mask of the NPC, and become a "player" who truly changes the story and provides the antidote to the poison of evil.
