Is Hell a place of eternal suffering, or does the soul eventually cease to exist? Following the recent public "dust up" involving Kirk Cameron, Clint Archer and Will Brandon dive back into one of the most sobering topics in theology.

In this episode, we break down the differences between the traditional view of Eternal Conscious Torment (ECT) and the rising popularity of Annihilationism (or Conditionalism). We explore the biblical definitions of "eternal," the weight of sin against an infinite God, and why this conversation matters for our understanding of God’s justice and the beauty of the Cross.

Whether you're struggling with the "fairness" of hell or curious about the current evangelical debate, join us for a balanced, biblically-grounded look at the duration of judgment.
