What happens when we die? What did Jesus actually teach about these final destinations? And how can we be sure where we’re headed?
    Drawing from powerful passages like Matthew 7 and expert biblical commentary from John MacArthur, we explore who goes to Heaven, who ends up in Hell, and why salvation isn’t about being a “good person” — but about truly following Christ.This isn’t a message of fear, but one of truth, hope, and eternal consequence. Listen with an open heart and share with someone who needs to hear about the eternal choice that awaits us all.

    In today’s episode of Finish the Race, we tackle the growing trend of faith deconstruction—a movement sweeping through churches, social media, and Christian communities. Is it simply about asking hard questions, or is it leading people away from the truth of the Gospel?
    Drawing from leading Christian voices, we break down what deconstruction really means, why it’s happening, and how it differs from honest doubt. We look at the cultural influences, personal wounds, and theological gaps fueling this movement—and where it often leads when Scripture is no longer the foundation.
