Summary
Today on my show, I sit down with @KirkCameron to talk about the firestorm that hit after he discussed what happens to the unsaved and why Christians should be able to ask honest questions without getting branded a heretic. We discuss the major views on hell, why the details are debated, and why some leaders act like secondary doctrines are gospel essentials.
