Lord, May the Assassination of
Charlie Kirk be a Turning Point

Guest: Pastor Travis Allen

CURRENT PROGRAM: Sept 12, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: SEPTEMBER 12,2026

Guest: Todd Friel, host Wretched TV and Radio Programs

There are many fiery situations in the world right now. In Iran, millions have been on the streets protesting with thousands killed by the Shia Islamist regime led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is on the brink of being ousted due to economic decline and repressive rule. This situation has significant ramifications for stability in the Middle East and even the end times.

Here in my home state of Minnesota, violent confrontations continue against ICE agents by protesters and paid agitators and rioters, as agents search for and arrest illegal immigrants. President Trump has stated he is considering employing the Insurrection Act to use military force to quell the obstruction and violence which has been incited by MN Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

There are other fires—in Venezuela after the U.S. captured their Communist narco-terrorist president Nicolas Maduro; in England and Australia which are threatening and arresting their own citizens for social media content against Islam; in Ukraine where the intractable, deadly war with Russia continues.

And yet all these fires at home and abroad are far less significant and lasting than what the Bible describes as the “unquenchable fire” of hell.

Hell is an issue that is almost unspeakable, and rightly so, because of the horror of what it is—eternal conscious torment for all who have rejected God by not believing in His Son’s substitutionary death and resurrection on the sinner’s behalf. In fact, the final destination for non-believers is described this way in Revelation 20: “if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Because hell is so horrific and never ending, there are many who question God’s character in sending people there. They say, “I know sin offends the holy God, but punishment for eternity in hell is disproportionate to the crime.”

Kirk Cameron, actor and Christian influencer and author, who has worked and associated with many sound Christians like Ray Comfort, Ken Ham, and John MacArthur, announced on his podcast recently that he no longer believes that hell is eternal conscious torment but rather that an unbeliever is eventually annihilated. In other words, unbelievers do go to hell for punishment but at some point they go out of existence.

This is certainly not the first time the eternality of hell has been challenged and it won’t be the last. Todd Friel, pastor of Alpharetta Bible Church in Georgia and host of Wretched, which produces radio and TV programs, joins us this weekend to examine what the Bible teaches about hell. Is hell being eternal an important doctrine to stand firm on? Is there a biblical basis that unbelievers are annihilated in hell, in light of what Jesus said in Matthew 10, “fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”?

We hope you join us for this important discussion.

TOPIC: The Cause and Effect of Critical Race Theory Part 2 of 2

Critical Race Theory (or Critical Theory more broadly beyond race) is now the de facto worldview of the political left, academia, mainstream media, corporations, and even the military. This worldview sees everything through the Marxist prism of oppression, with white, male Christians being the source of injustice and inequality in society. CRT [...]

TOPIC: The Cause and Effect of Critical Race Theory Part 1 of 2

Every cause produces an effect. Drop a pebble in a pond (cause) and small ripples form and travel outward (effect). Likewise, ideas are causes that produce effects. Good ideas produce good effects and bad ideas bad effects. Big, unbiblical ideas are not like dropping a pebble into a pond but rather a [...]

TOPIC: How to Think and Live in an Anti-Truth Culture

GUEST: ROBERT KNIGHT, author and columnist, Washington Times Satan and unredeemed humanity have always been at war with the truth.

TOPIC: Why Do Christian Leaders Compromise?

GUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, Senior Pastor, Grace Church, Greeley, CO Last week, we discussed how well-known Evangelical pastor Rick Warren and the church he leads—Saddleback—had, for the first time, ordained three women to be pastors. Warren called it an historic night and prefaced his message by saying everything they do is based on [...]

TOPIC: What If You Refuse the COVID-19 “Vaccine”?

Print-friendly Transcript It seems that the biggest names want in when it comes to the issue of global health and COVID-19.

TOPIC: Will You and Your Children Stand Firm?

GUEST: KEN HAM, author, Founder and President, Answers in Genesis With a growing and aggressive segment of America in full-throated opposition to God and those who follow Him, the question has become “How can biblical Christians remain faithful and raise their children to do the same?” Ken Ham, the founder and president [...]
