Episode 2 explores being "born again," positing no personal choice in spiritual rebirth. At Jesus's resurrection, all were reborn, a gift of grace in "The Hour We Least Expected," challenging traditional views on salvation and rebirth.

In Episode 2 of "The Hour We Least Expected," hosts Aaron and Steve Essary tackle the concept of being "born again," a pivotal theme in Christian theology. This episode critically examines the teachings of Jesus on spiritual rebirth, highlighting the lack of explicit instructions on how this process occurs or what role, if any, individuals play in it. Drawing on the analogy of physical birth, the Essarys argue that just as one has no choice in their physical birth, so too is spiritual rebirth beyond personal control or decision-making. This thought-provoking discussion asserts that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus marked a universal rebirth, a moment when all of creation was spiritually reborn, aligning with the show's theme of "The Hour We Least Expected." Through insightful analysis, this episode challenges traditional interpretations, suggesting that eternal life and rebirth were divinely bestowed gifts at the resurrection, independent of human action or decision, truly embodying the essence of grace and salvation for all.
