The Sean McDowell Show

Christian apologist Wes Huff recently appeared on one of the world’s largest podcasts, Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, where he was asked a series of challenging questions about God, the resurrection of Jesus, doubt, hell, prayer, and the meaning of life. Today, I'll react to a few clips and talk about how Wes handled the questions as well as add in my own insight.

Is hell eternal conscious punishment or does the Bible teach that the wicked will ultimately be destroyed? This is one of the most debated theological questions among Christians today. Today, we have two leading scholars to explore the biblical case for two different views of hell: eternal conscious punishment and conditional immortality (annihilationism). Together they examine key passages from both the Old and New Testaments and covers major texts such as Daniel 12, Matthew 25, Mark 9, Luke 16, 2 Thessalonians 1, and Revelation 14–20, along with the historical views of the church and the philosophical and pastoral implications of each position.
We'll also be back Tuesday, March 10 at 4:30 PST LIVE to follow up on questions about hell!

Did the people named in the Bible actually exist? In this episode, archaeologist Dr. Titus Kennedy joins me to walk through how archaeology confirms the existence of ten individuals mentioned in Scripture. Dr. Kennedy lays out his criteria for evaluating archaeology discoveries and applies his careful criteria to figures in both the OT and NT. We cover evidence connected to central figures like King David, Ahab, Isaiah, and Belshazzar, as well as obscure figures like Berenice. Let us know what you think!

Today, I sit down with an anonymous Christian scholar living in a predominantly Muslim context where openly following Christ can be life-threatening. Because of active persecution, our guest appears without revealing identifying details. Today, he'll talk about his doctoral research, focused on the most important Muslim convert to Christianity, and explores the historical roots of modern Christian-Muslim engagement especially the often-overlooked Urdu apologetics tradition.

What if the “supernatural” parts of Scripture weren’t the exceptions… but the assumed backdrop? What if we have been reading the supernatural part of Scripture wrong? In this conversation, Joel Muddamalle will unpack the worldview behind The Unseen Battle (building on Michael Heiser’s The Unseen Realm) and ask a provocative question: Have modern Christians unintentionally normalized a naturalistic reading of the Bible?
*Joel will also return LIVE on March 24 at 4:30 PM PST to take questions, objections, and challenges—especially for those engaging Michael Heiser’s work for the first time.
