True|False: Hell Is Real
The love of God and the horror of hell seem so incongruous that we can't help but wonder if the threat of eternal punishment is all bark and no bite--a fear tactic employed by fire-and-brimstone preachers that frightens people and saddens God.
Jesus never shied away from setting the record straight. So what did He have to say about hell?
This is a subject we would prefer to avoid, but too much is at stake to do that. We need to know the truth, even if it does scare the you-know-what out of us.

True|False: Good People Go To Heaven
Have you ever attended a funeral in which it was not assumed that the deceased was in "a better place"?
Me neither.
Whether through nature or nurture, most of us believe two things when it comes to the afterlife:
1) Good people go to heaven.
2) We are good people.
But is that what Jesus taught? Listen to hear what He had to say about this subject, because too much is at stake to take a wait-and-see approach.

True|False: There are many ways to God
Some things we believe in our bones. I mean, they're so obvious and so important to us that we don't have to read the Bible to know Jesus agrees with us. Of course He does.
But then we read, in red ink, that what we believe to be true, Jesus labeled as false. How we react to the spiritual vertigo that His teaching sometimes triggers could determine the trajectory of our lives, maybe even of the destiny of our souls.
For the next four weeks, we are going to try to understand why Christ's perspective was often so different than ours. And we're going to start with the almost universal conviction that there are many ways to God. Is that true or false?
Maybe you know someone whose answer to that question is different than yours. Why not invite them to listen to this White Pine podcast?
