Our Q&R podcast for the seeker and skeptic in all of us. It’s designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others.
This month, we continue our two-part series on the afterlife by diving into one of the most difficult ideas in Christianity – Hell.
It’s a concept that makes people uncomfortable—and for good reason. If God is truly loving, why would He send people to a place of eternal suffering? Wouldn’t it be more just for Him to save everyone? And if He knew that some people would end up in hell, why create us in the first place?
These are not easy questions, but they’re important ones. If Christianity teaches that God is both perfectly just and infinitely merciful, how do those two ideas fit together? Does hell exist because of God’s judgment—or because of human choice?
Today, we’re digging into the fairness of hell, the different ways people have understood it throughout history, and what the Bible actually teaches about it. We’ll also wrestle with one of the biggest objections: what about people who never had the chance to hear about Jesus? This conversation isn’t just about doctrine—it’s about what kind of God we believe in.
What is Q&R Podcast?
We’re so excited to officially launch something we’ve been working on the last few months behind the scenes — a long-form Question and Response (Q&R) Podcast! At Redeemer Lincoln Square, we value questions and the people who ask them because questions lead to dialogue, dialogue fosters relationships, and relationships create community. So in that sense, this project is a natural progression of this missional value.
We will be releasing one episode per month and no question will be off-limits.
