I think we are called as Christians to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and to invite people into a relationship with God, and that that is about more than just what happens when you die.
Ever wondered what really happens after we die? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Stephanie Kostopoulos and Beth Demme dive into the often avoided topic of the afterlife. They ask the big questions: Who decides who goes to Hell? Do all Christians believe in Hell? And does Beth, being a pastor, have all the answers? Spoiler alert: she doesn’t. Steph and Beth tackle these questions head-on, starting with the basic concept of heaven and hell.
They explore different Christian beliefs, particularly focusing on the Methodist perspective. Is Hell a place of eternal torment, or do we simply cease to exist? Beth shares her own views on trusting God with what happens after death and emphasizes that having a relationship with God is more about living a meaningful life than just securing a spot in heaven.
The conversation gets even more intriguing as they discuss why the idea of heaven and hell matters in our earthly lives. Stephanie brings up the vivid imagery of heaven described in religious texts, like streets paved with gold, and they ponder its significance. They also touch on the devil’s role as a fallen angel in rebellion against God and why such rebellion isn’t more common.
Beth opens up about her personal journey with religion, explaining that her faith is not just about the afterlife but also about spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and inviting others into a relationship with God. The episode underscores the importance of questioning, seeking answers, and understanding that it’s okay not to have all the answers.
If you’ve ever found yourself curious or confused about what comes next, this episode offers a compassionate and open discussion that might just provide some clarity—or at least make you feel less alone in your wonderings.
