Why God Why?

In this compelling episode of Why God Why, we delve into one of the most challenging and controversial questions of faith: "Why would a loving God allow people to go to hell?" Hosts Peter Englert and Aaron McGinnis are joined by local pastors Steven Nichols and Bob Reeves for a candid discussion that navigates the complexities of divine justice, eternal consequence, and the nature of God's love.

Steven and Bob, both from Calvary Assembly in Rochester, New York, share their personal journeys of grappling with the concept of hell, from their formative years in church to their current pastoral roles. They reflect on the historical use of fear as a tool for conversion and the damage it has caused, advocating for a more compassionate and understanding approach to sharing the gospel.
The conversation explores the theological and pastoral aspects of hell, questioning common misconceptions and the portrayal of God as a punitive judge. Listeners are invited to consider the transformative power of grace and the choices we make in life, with insights drawn from scripture and influential thinkers like C.S. Lewis.
