Hell: Judgment, Mercy, and the Heart of God

In Part 1 of this new podcast series, Pastor Josh Slautterback sits down with Pastor Craig Stephens to tackle one of the most difficult and misunderstood topics in Christianity: hell. Rather than avoiding the tension, this conversation leans into the questions people are already asking—Is hell real? Is it eternal? How does it fit with a loving God? Drawing from Scripture and the teachings of Jesus, this episode explores what the Bible actually says about hell, why it matters, and how it shapes our understanding of justice, mercy, and eternity. This is an honest, thoughtful discussion meant to bring clarity, not fear, and to invite deeper reflection on the heart of God.
