Why are we hearing so many stories of Christian artists, pastors, apologists, and influencers who either abandon the faith or fail morally? Is something broken in Christian celebrity culture? And is there still hope for those who fall? Today, I have John James, founding member and former lead singer of the Newsboys, to talk about his new book: Newsboy, the failures and fractures inside Christian platform culture, and the redemption God brought through his lowest moments.

Christian apologist Wes Huff recently appeared on one of the world’s largest podcasts, Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, where he was asked a series of challenging questions about God, the resurrection of Jesus, doubt, hell, prayer, and the meaning of life. Today, I'll react to a few clips and talk about how Wes handled the questions as well as add in my own insight.

Is hell eternal conscious punishment or does the Bible teach that the wicked will ultimately be destroyed? This is one of the most debated theological questions among Christians today. Today, we have two leading scholars to explore the biblical case for two different views of hell: eternal conscious punishment and conditional immortality (annihilationism). Together they examine key passages from both the Old and New Testaments and covers major texts such as Daniel 12, Matthew 25, Mark 9, Luke 16, 2 Thessalonians 1, and Revelation 14–20, along with the historical views of the church and the philosophical and pastoral implications of each position.

We'll also be back Tuesday, March 10 at 4:30 PST LIVE to follow up on questions about hell!
