Grace at LAST

Corinne here and welcome to episode 141 of the Grace at LAST podcast and the final part of our four part series reconsidering hell. In this closing conversation we bring everything together and move from theory into something practical and personal.
Today we talk honestly about the real obstacles people face when questioning eternal conscious torment. Fear of deception, specific verses that feel hard to reconcile, concerns about justice, evangelism, tradition, morality, trauma, and ultimately trust in who God truly is. This episode is not about persuading or convincing anyone. It is about creating space to ask honest questions and inviting the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth, to guide us.
We look at why the idea of the second death can line up more clearly with Scripture and with a God who is just, loving, and faithful without sustaining suffering forever. If this topic has ever felt heavy, emotional, or even frightening, this conversation is offered with gentleness and respect. My hope is that you leave feeling lighter, more grounded in Scripture, and more confident in trusting the God revealed through JesUs. Thank you so much for listening and walking this journey with me.

This episode builds on the previous discussions by slowing down and carefully examining the scriptures most often used to support eternal conscious torment.
Rather than beginning with tradition or fear-based theology, this conversation starts with the character of God revealed in Jesus. Would a God who forgives freely, restores the broken, and draws people through love sustain endless suffering with no purpose? Scripture consistently contrasts death with life, not torment with life, and presents immortality as a gift given only through Christ.
You are invited to consider whether the Bible actually teaches the immortal soul or whether the consistent biblical language points toward the second death and conditional immortality. This is not about persuasion or fear. It is an invitation to read Scripture honestly, trust the Spirit of Truth, and allow God to be defined by Jesus rather than tradition.
If how we understand hell shapes how we see God, this conversation matters.

This conversation continues our honest discussion on hell and immortality with courage and humility. This is not about persuasion or fear driven theology. It is about asking better questions and letting Scripture speak clearly. We explore conditional immortality (eternal life are given only to those born of the Spirit) and challenge the inherited belief that every soul lives forever. Where did that idea come from and does the Bible actually teach it? Together we look at Scripture, history, and the character of God revealed in Jesus. This episode invites you to set aside tradition, think for yourself, and trust the Spirit of Truth to renew your mind.
If how we view hell shapes how we view God, then this conversation truly matters.

Today’s podcast steps into one of Christianity’s most emotional topics: hell. Not because it’s trending, but because God is stirring honest questions across the body of Christ.
What began as a simple Facebook post questioning eternal conscious torment quickly joined with a larger movement of questions happening worldwide. For Corinne, this journey started months ago through prayer, Scripture, and a willingness to admit she might have been wrong.
As she examined God’s character revealed in Jesus, the idea of eternal, conscious torment began to unravel. Would a God who prefers forgiveness, embodies love, and restores the broken sustain endless suffering with no hope or purpose? Scripture, especially Paul’s writings, focuses not on escaping hell, but on moving from death to life in Christ.
This episode isn’t about telling listeners what to believe. It’s an invitation to ask hard questions, shed fear-based theology, and let the Holy Spirit lead each person into truth. God doesn’t motivate through terror. He draws through love, and that changes everything.

We have nothing to prove to God. He is not measuring our worth by performance or effort.
We have nothing to prove to other people. Approval is unstable and chasing it leads to exhaustion. Freedom begins when we stop living for applause and start living in truth.
We have nothing to prove to ourselves. Shame and self-pressure never produce transformation. Only truth does.
When the need to prove ourselves disappears, freedom takes its place. We stop performing and start living. We move with peace, clearness, and confidence rooted in grace, not fear or pressure.
