In this episode, we give a biblical response to Kirk Cameron’s defense of annihilationism (conditional immortality) the view that the wicked are destroyed and cease to exist rather than experiencing eternal conscious punishment. This is not a personal attack. Kirk Cameron seeks to defend God’s goodness, but sincerity does not determine truth, Scripture does. The real question is not what feels more loving, but what Jesus and the apostles actually taught about hell. We examine key passages such as Matthew 25:46, Matthew 10:28, and Revelation 14:11; 20:10 (NASB 95) to show why “destroy” (apollymi) does not mean annihilation and why Scripture teaches conscious, ongoing, eternal punishment. We also address church history, the seriousness of sin, and why annihilationism ultimately weakens the gospel and diminishes the cross. Key takeaway: We don’t need to rescue God from His Word. He has already spoken. Faithfulness to Scripture—not emotion or cultural pressure—must shape our doctrine. If you care about biblical theology, hell, judgment, and historic Christianity, this episode is for you. #KirkCameron #Annihilationism #Hell #ConditionalImmortality #EternalPunishment #DoctrineMatters #ReformedTheology #BiblicalTheology #ChristianPodcast #Gospel #NASB95 #EternalConsciousPunishment #ChurchHistory #ChristianTeaching

Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” In Episode 9 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we walk slowly through Matthew 5:4 and confront a truth our culture often avoids: grief is not a failure of faith. Mourning flows out of poverty of spirit and names the brokenness of a world that is not the way it was meant to be, while still trusting the character of God.This episode offers biblical comfort without clichés, honest answers without pretending suffering is simple, and a call to sanctify Christ as Lord even in sorrow. If you are grieving, lamenting, or carrying questions that don’t have easy answers, this conversation is for you.

We illuminate the emotional complexities that arise when one navigates the loss of a loved one during a period typically associated with joy and celebration.

The discussions further emphasize the significance of community and connection, underscoring the importance of reaching out for support and offering compassion to others who may be facing similar hardships. Ultimately, the episode provides a thoughtful exploration of how we can honor our memories while also fostering hope and resilience amid sorrow.Takeaways:Mourning during the holiday season is a profound experience that many individuals encounter.It is essential to understand that mourning is a natural and necessary part of life.Sharing feelings of grief with others can provide comfort and foster connections.The act of mourning is often intertwined with love, serving as a celebration of the relationships we cherish.
