From the Show

We must want the best for the person we are speaking the truth to. We shouldn’t rub their face in something they’ve done wrong as a kind of “gotcha,” or point our finger and mock others. Instead, we should speak the truth hoping that it will lead someone to repentance and grow in grace.

– Pastor Adriel Sanchez

Is It Fair for God to Send People to Hell Who Never Hear the Gospel?

In the end, the fairness of God is not something we measure by our limited perspective. It is grounded in his character. And the same God who is perfectly just is also rich in mercy. That is why the gospel is such good news—and why it must be believed and shared.
