SWDGISS: Hell
In this brand new Stuff We Didn’t Get in Sunday School episode, we’re sifting through the fire and brimstone to find out what the Bible actually says about Hell. Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon along with Knox and Jamie as they sort through popular beliefs surrounding this controversial topic. Along the way, you’ll hear new slogans for protestants, a surprising amount of WWII talk, and how our understanding of God informs our view of what happens when we die. You don’t want to our most fiery episode yet!
