Hell, Part 2: The Story Jesus Told

In Hell, Part 2, Pastor Craig Stephens and Pastor Josh Slautterback walk through Jesus’ sobering parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16, unpacking what it reveals about hell, eternity, and our response today. Rather than focusing on fear or speculation, this conversation centers on the relational separation from God that defines hell and the choices that shape our spiritual direction. Drawing insights from thinkers like C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller, the episode explores idolatry, repentance, and why understanding hell actually deepens our appreciation for God’s love and fuels the urgency of sharing the gospel. This is an honest, thoughtful conversation for anyone wrestling with what Jesus taught about judgment, mercy, and eternity.
