Heaven and Hell: The Truth About Eternity - Part 2

In today’s episode of Finish the Race, we confront one of the most sobering and urgent truths in Scripture: the eternal reality of Heaven and Hell. 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.

  • Big Beautiful Bill & Miracles in the Storm

    23:38|
    In this compelling episode of Finish the Race, we unpack the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of legislation currently making waves on Capitol Hill. Our discussion focuses on its five key provisions—from the defunding of Planned Parenthood and major investments in border security to the expansion of child tax credits and federal preemption on AI regulation. We analyze significant differences between House and Senate versions, such as the ten-year abortion funding ban versus the Senate’s one-year counterpart.Paragraph 2 We also dive into the robust backlash from faith communities—Catholic bishops and Latino Evangelical leaders vocally oppose the bill, citing concerns over family separation, undermining of state sovereignty, and threats to poverty programs and civil rights. These moral and theological critiques offer a powerful counterpoint, illuminating how policy intersects with faith-based values.Paragraph 3 In a dramatic shift of tone, the second half of today’s episode tells the awe-inspiring story of a student who was miraculously sucked from her car by an EF‑3 tornado—and lived to tell the tale. We explore how faith, providence, and scientific rarity intersected during the harrowing experience. Her survival serves as a powerful reminder of the unexpected miracles that can emerge even in the midst of destruction.🔍 KeywordsOne Big Beautiful Bill, abortion funding, border security, child tax credit, AI preemption, faith leaders' opposition, EF‑3 tornado survival, miraculous rescue, faith and providence, Finish the Race.
