Weren't We Right About Hell?

In this episode of Career Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kerns examine the doctrine of hell in light of recent discussion sparked by Kirk Cameron and the growing popularity of annihilationism among some evangelicals. Drawing from Scripture, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, and the teachings of Jesus Himself, the hosts explore whether the Bible supports eternal conscious torment or conditional immortality. They engage key biblical texts from Matthew, Luke, Revelation, and 1 Peter, address arguments popularized by Edward Fudge, and consider the pastoral, theological, and doctrinal implications of redefining hell. This conversation also reflects on historic Christian teaching, the holiness and justice of God, and why Jesus spoke more about hell than heaven. With references to Jonathan Edwards, R.C. Sproul, and D.A. Carson, Jeff and Travis argue that how we understand hell directly shapes how we preach the gospel, understand God’s character, and proclaim salvation through Christ alone. Whether you’re a pastor, theologian, or Christian seeking clarity, this episode offers a thoughtful, Scripture-centered examination of one of the most sobering and controversial doctrines in Christianity.
