DeepSummary
Ali Yost, the host, begins the episode by stating that it will cover a heavier topic - the existence of hell and why God would allow some people to go there despite being a loving God. She explains that God gave humans free will and the choice to have a relationship with Him or not. If someone chooses not to know God in this life, He respects that choice and will not force them to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Yost discusses that hell is not a place God created for humans, but rather the absence of God's presence, love, goodness, and light. Just as darkness is the absence of light. She emphasizes that the only way to heaven is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Yost encourages listeners to talk to God openly, even if skeptical, and allow Him into their lives.
Throughout the episode, Yost stresses God's deep love for humanity and His desire for us to choose Him willingly. She acknowledges that parts of God will never be fully understood but implores listeners to take Him seriously and make Him their first priority. Yost aims to change perspectives on God's loving nature through this discussion on heaven and hell.

Hey, y'all ! Welcome to another Friday with CWCOI ! In this week's episode our host, Ally Yost, goes a little bit deeper and talks more about Hell, why it exists, and how it differs from Heaven and a life with God. And humans, we make choices everyday that effect our daily lives. One of the greatest choices we are given is if we want to live our life with or without God. He so kindly gives us the choice to make for ourselves - and that choice ultimately defines our eternity as well. We hope the Holy Spirit speaks to you as much as it spoke to us in this episode. :) xx
