Does the Bible clearly teach that those who did in their sin are tormented for all eternity in the lake of fire? Or does it suggest that there is an end to God's wrath against sinners? While the church has long held the former position, in late 2025, Kirk Cameron posted a video where he genuinely questions the doctrine of eternal judgment, or, as those who hold to conditional immortality like to call it, eternal conscious torment. This view, often called annihilationism, redefines Biblical death and eternal torment for a period of judgment ending in annihilation. While we will deal with many of the verses that they use in this episode, it is worth first considering how changes to eternal judgment affects all of theology. Those who argue for conditional immortality often act like their view does not impact other doctrines. So here's the question: Are they correct?Thumbnail image by Ivan Vtorov under CC BY-SA 3.0.

We know God CAN heal. And we have spent some time in this series looking at the scriptural evidence for God's WILL to heal. But that is only one side of the coin. The other important factor, specifically mentioned in many of the healing miracles of Jesus, is the faith of the person needing healing. What does faith for healing look like, and how big a part does it play in the whole process? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Part two of the "Healing, Health, and Wholeness" series. Pastor Richard continues the series showing that as we are TRUSTING the Lord for HEALING, that it usually isn't INSTANTANEOUS. Most often, it's a PROCESS. GOD CAN, GOD WANTS TO, and GOD WILL, but we have to have PATIENCE and TRUST GOD'S PROCESS.
We're living at a time of tremendous INSTABILITY and UNCERTAINTY. And, when facing the unknown, we tend to respond with fear and with faith. Fear says that we're not sure of the outcome, but we have a feeling it's going to be bad. Faith says that we're not sure of the outcome, but that we know God is with us and for us and will take care of us. So we (simply) take another step. Another breath. In this message, Max Vanderpool spells out why God's people have ALWAYS had a hard time trusting God - and why, despite how we might feel internally - God CAN be trusted.
Two renowned theologians go head-to-head in a rigorous, respectful debate on one of the most discussed passages in Scripture—**John 1:1–18**.
In this episode of Purposely Catholic, Khalil sits down with Kevin Matthews, former Chicago radio legend turned author and storyteller, to dive into his powerful journey of faith.

I Can't, God Can, So Let Him 3-30-25 Fr. Blood
In today's sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches on select passages from Scripture which show us God's amazing generosity. We see that God's love means that God generously gives of himself to us. We also see that God CAN give all because he made all and owns all. God's amazing love displayed through his generosity is apparent from eternity past into present time and will continue into eternity future (see Sermon Notes for Scripture passages). Revelation 21:6 sums up the beauty and hope of God's loving generosity: "And he said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.'

Where are the other nine? Just—get in. I'm not going in there! JUST GET IN. UGH. DEADMAU5 (head and all) stands at a tall podium in the center of the room) What is this, This is deadmau5. I know that. —-!!! —?!? What. !!! What? This is the exam? Yes! NO. What is “no”. I'm not playing for deadmau5. That's the exam. Then I fail! Automatic Fail? yes. Automatic fail. Then you win. What. *slams gavel* Congratulations—you're the next superstar DJ. WhY. . What. Woohoo! I just retired! DEADMAU5 exits. … … After a few moments of comic tension, the Deadmau5 head rolls back in through the exit which he has taken. Ugh. Fuck this. No matter what you do, you're a superstar DJ. What. No! Yes. The answer is yes. NO. Fuck. What the FUCK. No matter what you do. You want to go, Go, you want to die, Die, you want to try, try You want to cry, cry Do what you want; As so will I, Demand is demand— Supply is supply. EDX So then, I followed this long hallway under the stage deck. Uh huh. And it led to a door— Uhhuh, where'd the door lead? To a portal. Woah. Pasqualle! You made it! I—yes. Congratulations! *blows party horn* *Daisies/ confetti* You're like 25! I'll be 25 forever. Nice! Yeah. I guess that's why it's called ‘music'—a musician without muses is just useless. ‘Well, whose next?' I wondered. All of my muses were not just so wonderful to me, but adored by many—and perhaps this is what allured me most—beffldled ans confounded me; once my mind was set on somehh th int, there was nothing else its eye could see—and for how long one God could only know, how deep the love would go and that the blood would run deep, and the scars to show for it, only upon my heart and never by soul—for a love was a love, and even once came and gone, to the end of my life I knew I would still ponder upon them, at one time or another, my muses—star studded lovers, rather than crossed, shiny and golden like all diamond and trophies so treasured and thought of as precious. ‘Yes, you are—precious.' Another tongue in cheek thought, for the other that I was, and also was not, as summer drew onward as short as it would come and go—a reminder to leave the apartment more often, and to mind my manners, to find the upper echelon wherever it was and come quietly into its doors, to open my world and wordform of thought, into a place where my heart always was; then, and only then, would I be home. Amongst the men and women of the uppercut and classy, luxurious big fishing ponds and flocks of doves upon olive branches—the peaceful world long parted from where mine was, by only the fault of my own. What had been done just certainly was, and yet, what was to come was an open poem, not of mine, but Godform in thought. ‘I wonder what's at the top of Rockefeller Plaza.' —perhaps, a gander at the bottom of an even larger entertainment complex. Then, again, only God would know what was beyond all that I wanted; a job—and not just any job at all— the one that I had always wanted. Mmm. Birthday cake. Suddenly the taste of a white confetti crème filled my mouth with a delicious remnince of what it might be like to taste a confectionary sugar again—but i couldn't imagine ever making it just on talent and charisma alone—no. Indeed, it seemed something had damaged my charm, and perhaps it was just the swarms and droves of phone controlled masses that saw me as nothing more than dust, I had started to surrender my desire to perform, and the quality of my music—along with my ability to make it, suffered with the awful thing that had been crowding my soul at all—whatever it was, evil and dark in nature, sure saw to it that it wanted to hurt me in all the ways that it could—and in all the ways it could not, I stayed away from most others, favoring my delisuins of love. ‘Nobody seems to understand that the pain they cause will only harm themselves.', I thought Younger souls, however, they were—and they would be kept in the pain that I was in one way or another until eventual death, far behind me on the infinite road to the source. Far enough behind, that it seeker to destroy my progress, and for all that it could, it also couldn't. The infliction of pain would simply not act as a measure for control any longer. Of into my own world, where I was at least free from the thoughts and judgement of others. She's the most beautiful girl, And I'm the most beautiful boy; So naturally, we belong together, don't we?

On this episode Josh has his 13 year old son Weldon join us and they even sing a song together. A Doyle Lawson classic goepl song called “God Can”.We then have a fun chat with bluegrass legend Kevin Prater. In 1998, Kevin was asked to audition as mandolin player and vocalist for The James King Band. That audition led to a 12 career that would take him around the world, entertaining in 24 Countries and 49 States. They recorded two, "Album of the Year" a "Song of the Year" and a "Recorded Event Of The Year" award winning projects. Kevin has played the Grand Ole Opry many times with James King Band and Melvin Goins and Wendy Mountain. Upon leaving The James King Band Kevin toured with Mark Phillips and Third Generation, and spent three years with The Bluegrass Brothers, during which he earned a nomination for "Banjo Player of the Year".
Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Have you ever felt so disconnected in your marriage that you wondered if it was worth fighting for? Kevin found himself in that very place—emotionally, spiritually, and physically distant from his wife. Harshness and criticism seemed to cloud their every interaction, leaving him discouraged and ready to give up. He felt his energy was drained and was unmotivated in many aspects of life. He took the courage to sign up and speak with Dana on a Clarity Call, he felt it gave him insights into himself and helped him discover what was at the root of their disconnection. He felt he wasn't the role model he'd want to be for his children. He had allowed his marriage to be transactional which he knew wasn't what God designed marriage to be. That's when he decided he wasn't giving his family all that he should and he signed up for the men's program. Through this journey, Kevin began to implement the daily gratitudes—a practice that sparked a profound shift in his mindset. He was encouraged through his Coaching Calls to stand firm as the spiritual leader he longed to be for his family, even amidst resistance. He finally feels he is spiritually leading his family. We are so proud of Kevin and know that the same change he saw in his marriage can happen with yours. As he shared with us, where there is breath, there is hope. We believe this podcast will encourage you that God CAN heal this marriage. He may be calling you to be the very one who does it, by changing yourself. Love, Belah & Team PS - If you are interested in a Clarity Call and speaking with one of our advisors as Kevin did, we would love to talk with you: delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPS - Here a quote from a (different) recent graduate: “Some of my biggest celebrations: Our relationship, our discussions have become much more peaceful, easygoing and playful than before!... She has expressed often how she likes the changes she sees in me… I have a renewed hope that things can get better. I now have a clearer vision of my role as a husband and how things can and should be. I have grown in confidence by learning what is the path to get there. I understand my wife so much better now and realize that contrary to what I thought before, she is not broken!... One change that I think is the most telling of how the DYM program has impacted our lives: Prior to the program we had been sleeping in separate rooms for years. I am thankful to say that I am back in our marriage bed, physically, emotionally – for good now!”

Becky sits down with Erin, one of the podcast copy editors, and each of their husband's, Richard and Justin, to talk about what they have learned about how the Betrayer can best support the Betrayed. After multiple anonymous questions about this topic, we wanted to make sure we talked about it! They group discusses when they realized support was needed for the betrayed, what things they tried that helped, and even a few things that didn't help. They also share some resources and additional thoughts from various friends who have been on this journey. Richard shares that “Sometimes we are purchasing a million dollar marriage a dollar at a time.” Justin reminds listeners that, “I can't fix it, God Can. But there are ways I can support her in her efforts to work with God to find healing”. We hope you enjoy this very powerful and vulnerable episode.

"girl, you CAN" and other messaging of empowerment and motivation, and on the one hand, it's wonderful, it's good and we all need a pep talk from time to time. But there's also. a culture of "self love" which has evolved into self worship. In today's episode Author Becky Kiser shares how the premise of her book is meant to empower women, yet also teach them that their weaknesses are indeed their super power, and that when they can't GOD CAN. The whole reason we need Jesus is because WE CAN'T in so many ways... and that's ok. We also address: Self love/Self worship vs. Loving yourself What to do when we know God Can, but God Doesn't? How surrender is something more readily embraced after we have moved through the pain of when we can't, and realize, God can, but if he doesn't, we still know we're going to be ok. And so much more! ABOUT BECKY: Becky is a Speaker, Podcast Host, Ministry Leader, Life Coach, and Cheerleader of Women. She is committed to helping women know, love, and follow God and His Word so they can live freer and fuller lives.

God CAN and WANTS TO redeem every single part of your sexual history. In this podcast, Pastor Jared shares a beautiful revelation on the life of David. You will see that just like God brought forgiveness and redemption to David's life, He desires to do the same in your life.
Do we truly believe God is in control? Do we really trust that no matter the circumstance God is using the good, bad, and ugly to spread His kingdom? This week Daniel Tortorici continues our series in the minor prophets speaking about the lie that "God Can't." The passage this week is Nahum 1.
To the rest of the world, Christianity often appears to be a fragmented religion with hundreds of sects, each claiming to preach the true message of the Christian faith. The appearance of fragmentation of the church is increased by secondary factors such as language, cultural diversity and political differences. The divisions, however, result from differences over key doctrines that have arisen since the time of Christ. To understand the various church bodies, one must understand their doctrinal positions versus the rest of Christianity. Some differences are so subtle that considerable theological, linguistic and historical study is required to grasp their true significance. These 8 doctrines we are talking about are central to the essence of Christianity. In fact, what the world terms “Christianity” is not one religion, but a group of parallel religions that share much of the same vocabulary, but which have significantly different views of the nature of man and the nature of God. To focus the study on the key issues, we will use eight questions which are asked in the Scriptures. The questions were asked by people from various backgrounds and were asked for various reasons. We will identify who asked the questions and why, and then we will look for the answer that is given in the Scripture. These topics will be refined to clarify the conflicting doctrinal positions as much as possible. The 8 questions: “By what authority do you do these things?” - Authority “Who is the LORD that I should obey him?” - Identity of God “Can a man be born again when he is old?” - Original sin “What must I do to be saved?” - Justification “Shall we go on sinning that grace may increase?” -Sanctification “Who can bring a charge against God's elect?” - Predestination “Is not the bread we break a participation in the body of Christ?” - Holy Communion “Are you going to at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” - The Last Things
She Is Dwelling In The Presence of God“Can you see God moving in your life? If not, move closer.” Jaime is bringing the fire down with her word this week, and we are so excited to share it with you. Jaime is talking to us about Samuel and how he positioned himself to hear God. Don't miss an opportunity to hear from God because of distraction or being in a place that makes it difficult to hear. We want to always be sure our hearts are tuned to His leading and His voice, and Jaime is sharing a powerful word about positioning — physically and spiritually.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Don't forget to download the Episode Guide for THIS episode HERE.A Chinese friend complained to me about how difficult learning English can be. For example, he lamented that the English word for "trunk" could reference the back of a car, a box, a part of an elephant, or men's swim shorts. Same word. Different meanings. I thought of this when listening to Brooke Ligertwood's song, "Fear Of God." In Scripture, the word for "fear" may mean something completely different depending on the context.Let's explore what it means to fear God, the results of fearing God, and how the fear of God can be expressed in our own lives.In this episode, I discuss the following:Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read in contextConsult an overviewComplete a word studyMake a listEpisode Guide DownloadThe story behind the song by Kevin Davis - New Release Today ArticleInspired by the lyrics to meditate on 1 PeterScripture overview of 1 Peter - BibleProject.com VideoHow the real enemy is the devil - 1 Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:12Word study for "sober-minded" - BibleHub.comVerses that talk about fear as bad - 2 Timothy 1:7, 1 John 4:18Where Moses uses fear in two ways in one verse - Exodus 20:20The fear of God can keep us - Proverbs 16:6To fear God is to be in awe and reverence of Him (as opposed to afraid of Him) Psalm 33:8 (see Episode 398)Malachi 2:5The fear of God is also closely related to trusting Him Psalm 40:3Psalm 115:11See Episode 397The fear of God means hating and avoiding evil Proverbs 8:13Proverbs 16:6Attributes of the Fear of God Can be taught - Psalm 34:11Can be chosen - Proverbs 1:29Is reflected in obedience - Ecclesiastes 12:13Equated with hating evil - Proverbs 8:13Leads to trusting God - Psalm 40:3Leads to friendship with God - Psalm 25:14Offers deliverance and other benefits - Psalm 33:18, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 145:19, Proverbs 10:27, Proverbs 22:4Leads to life and rest - Proverbs 19:23A summary verse of what it looks like to fear God - Deuteronomy 10:12-13Additional ResourcesLyrics for "Fear of God" by Brooke Ligertwood - NewReleaseToday.comThe story behind the song "Fear Of God" by Brooke Ligertwood - New Release Today ArticleMy favorite written resource for overviews - "How to Read the Bible Book by Book" by Fee and Stuart - Amazon Paid LinkMy favorite resource for video overviews - BibleProject.comMy favorite Bible Study Software - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead Peter's first letter to the believers scattered throughout the region of Asia Minor.

We just got back from driving to Kansas to visit our family. I remember as a kid getting so excited for a trip, I wouldn't be able to sleep getting all geared up for it. We are about to jump into a several-month trip to look at those who have gone before us in the faith and to connect with the story of God through the ages. And I have to tell you, I'm excited about what we're going to learn along the way! A Great Cloud Sermon Series This series has some companion study material you can grab to take it even deeper - we have two books - an adult study book and a kids study book. Each week you can take the study deeper on the characters that we are going to be talking about and do personal study on their life and learn their stories…. My goal with this series is simple, I want you, by the end of this series, to have a grasp on the story of God and His work in the world. b I'm going to ask something of you for this series: Will you make a commitment to be here for as many Sundays as possible? ILLUSTRATION: My son is on the basketball team, and you know, just like you we've had different teams and activities through the year. I've never seen anyone who wants to be a player on the team take a lackadaisical approach to it. We are a church that wants to help people become serious disciples of Jesus. b But it takes more than just commitment on the church's side, it also takes your commitment. Are you willing to start this year off with a commitment to get rid of the casual approach to faith? This week and next we are going to lay some foundational ideas for the way we think about God and our interaction with Him. ILLUSTRATION: For pretty much all of my adult life, I thought the word was “you all” and it wasn't till I moved to Kentucky that I learned it was “yall” Ha, you can teach an old dog new tricks. We all know what it's like to think you know something and then find out you didn't really know it all. Some of you are like, “I married that…” lol, we're not getting into that. I'm talking about finding out your car has some cool features you didn't know before or learning there's a secret entrance at work that no one else uses. We all have experienced that. Today and next week we are going to talk about some things about God that may feel a little like that, but My hope is, that what we are going to talk about will actually help make sense of some disequilibrium you might feel in your relationship with God. THE PROBLEM: Let me show you where this disequilibrium starts with for me, it's an underlying doubt, here's one way it shows up for me, but it has a bunch of different forms. As a pastor, I remember years ago finding out that this single mom in our church didn't have any beds for her kids. She had been faithfully coming and didn't tell anyone about her need, but somehow I found out, that's what happens with Pastors. So, I reached out to a lady who I knew that was extremely generous. She and I talked and she bought this mother beds and had them delivered to the mother's doorstep. I'll never forget reading that mom's facebook page about how good God is and how He provides for her…. And I have to tell you, I had a slight cringe inside me… See, I think I'm more wired as a skeptic than a saint. Because what went through my head was: b What you saw as God was just a series of coincidences… What do you do with that? What do you do if you are a Doctor and people pray for someone's healing and YOU heal them and people declare it was God? What do you do? Here's the challenge, that doubt comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of the way God works and has set up his partnership with mankind. b This idea is VITAL for us to grasp as we move forward in this series: There is a way things work with God. We really have to go back to the beginning to understand. Genesis 1:28 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” According to the book of Genesis, God created the world in 6 days - we're not going to look at the “how” of creation, but at the meaning God gave to the created order - specifically that of humans. did you see it? God told man to do a few things -Increase in numbers (be fruitful and increase) -Subdue the earth -Rule over fish, birds, and every living creature b When God created, He created man as His partner in managing the physical environment - plants, land, and animals. Jesus conveys this same sense in multiples of his parables: Jesus regularly told parables about people who were left in charge of things and either did well or did poorly with those things. b Why do you think He used these illustrations? It's because the primary way God interacts with people in the world is through… b …People This is why the prayer of Matthew 6:10 is so powerful “Thy will be done, one earth as it is in heaven.” The Christian's primary purpose in humanity is to bring the will of God into existence in the world around us. b This is why Christians are described as “Reigning” with Christ after Jesus returns. b We will bring the Good Will of God into the World It's not that we are a part of some big Hallmark movie where the prince comes and we all become his princess. It's that our purpose will be fully restored as the managers of creation, bringing God's goodwill into the world around us. ILLUSTRATION: When I found out about my friend who had no bed, and I contacted my other friend who had money and I helped put them together, that was me bringing the Goodwill of God into the world around me. It is VITAL for you to understand that while God CAN work mysteriously without us understanding or seeing what is going on, His most frequent play is to work THROUGH you… CLOSING ILLUSTRATION; When I was a kid, I didn't know I needed glasses till about 1st or 2nd grade. All I knew is my mom would tell me if I kept sitting close to the tv I'd ruin my eyes, turned out my eyes were ruined and I needed to sit close to the TV, it wasn't till i got glasses that I saw the world as it was. I remember seeing the leaves for the first time and realizing how beautiful everything was. Can I just tell you today, if you are not a Christian, you may have had the idea that God was a big Oger in the sky who doesn't want your good, you may have asked why He didn't so something about your predicament. I would say most of the time it's because God is a very disciplined mover - He has put humans in charge and we have wrecked this thing, we've allowed Ego and evil to enter into the equation, more on that in the weeks to come. But for now, know this, God was not ok with that. So, He did what was unthinkable. He became one of us to come and interact with us and buy us back out of this defunct system and to infect the system with His love and grace, so someday there would be a guy named Kent, preaching this to you, not because it's good for me, but because it's good for you. Here's what I can promise you, if you will put on the glasses of the Kingdom, it will change the way you see everything… Everything! God is calling you, come to Him! ------------
We had a mind-blowing conversation with Thomas Jay Oord--theologian, best-selling author of "God Can't" and others, and director of the doctoral program at Northwind Seminary and the Center for Open and Relational Theology. We talk about God's power (or relative lack thereof), about the future of the Church and some of the reasons it doesn't fit any more for many people, about God's love and the inclusiveness for LGBTQ+ folx and others, and more. To hear more from Thomas Jay Oord, join Mark and Kelly on February 9-10 at God After Deconstruction at Drew University in Madison, NJ. More information on our website!

Neale Donald Walsch is the author of the international best seller Conversations With God, published in 1995, which became a global publishing phenomenon, staying on the New York Times Best Sellers List for 137 weeks. He is the author now of Godtalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power In this epic interview, we discuss: -Why Neale feels Conversations With God resonated with so many people -Did he always believe in God and why he is 100% convinced there is a God -Can anyone talk with God -How 2 way communication with this very real God can change your life -How one can be sure the communication is not just one way -What inspired him to write Godtalk and what makes it different from Conversations With God and his other books -Why divine intervention has led you as a listener to choose to listen to this specific interview among the trillions of choices available to you. Why the necessary steps were divinely set up for you so you decide to listen right now when you need to most. Neale says "Don't Look Now, but God is talking to you." -How God is engaging with everyone who actively seeks a conversation & how God is also communicating with us all the time even when we are not actively seeking conversation.
