Ep. 106 | Does Hell Actually Exist? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does hell actually exist, and could you end up there? In this meditation, Fr Gavan takes the question seriously, starting with the clear words of Jesus in the Gospels and working through why eternal punishment is not an injustice but a consequence of radical freedom.

A reassuring and grounded look at a topic that is easy to fear, and easier to misunderstand. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 103 Meditations i
