Grace at LAST

Corinne here and welcome to episode 141 of the Grace at LAST podcast and the final part of our four part series reconsidering hell. In this closing conversation we bring everything together and move from theory into something practical and personal. Today we talk honestly about the real obstacles people face when questioning eternal conscious torment. Fear of deception, specific verses that feel hard to reconcile, concerns about justice, evangelism, tradition, morality, trauma, and ultimately trust in who God truly is. This episode is not about persuading or convincing anyone. It is about creating space to ask honest questions and inviting the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth, to guide us.We look at why the idea of the second death can line up more clearly with Scripture and with a God who is just, loving, and faithful without sustaining suffering forever. If this topic has ever felt heavy, emotional, or even frightening, this conversation is offered with gentleness and respect. My hope is that you leave feeling lighter, more grounded in Scripture, and more confident in trusting the God revealed through JesUs. Thank you so much for listening and walking this journey with me.

This episode builds on the previous discussions by slowing down and carefully examining the scriptures most often used to support eternal conscious torment.Rather than beginning with tradition or fear-based theology, this conversation starts with the character of God revealed in Jesus. Would a God who forgives freely, restores the broken, and draws people through love sustain endless suffering with no purpose? Scripture consistently contrasts death with life, not torment with life, and presents immortality as a gift given only through Christ.You are invited to consider whether the Bible actually teaches the immortal soul or whether the consistent biblical language points toward the second death and conditional immortality. This is not about persuasion or fear. It is an invitation to read Scripture honestly, trust the Spirit of Truth, and allow God to be defined by Jesus rather than tradition.If how we understand hell shapes how we see God, this conversation matters.

This conversation continues our honest discussion on hell and immortality with courage and humility. This is not about persuasion or fear driven theology. It is about asking better questions and letting Scripture speak clearly. We explore conditional immortality (eternal life are given only to those born of the Spirit) and challenge the inherited belief that every soul lives forever. Where did that idea come from and does the Bible actually teach it? Together we look at Scripture, history, and the character of God revealed in Jesus. This episode invites you to set aside tradition, think for yourself, and trust the Spirit of Truth to renew your mind. If how we view hell shapes how we view God, then this conversation truly matters.

Today’s podcast steps into one of Christianity’s most emotional topics: hell. Not because it’s trending, but because God is stirring honest questions across the body of Christ. What began as a simple Facebook post questioning eternal conscious torment quickly joined with a larger movement of questions happening worldwide. For Corinne, this journey started months ago through prayer, Scripture, and a willingness to admit she might have been wrong.As she examined God’s character revealed in Jesus, the idea of eternal, conscious torment began to unravel. Would a God who prefers forgiveness, embodies love, and restores the broken sustain endless suffering with no hope or purpose? Scripture, especially Paul’s writings, focuses not on escaping hell, but on moving from death to life in Christ.This episode isn’t about telling listeners what to believe. It’s an invitation to ask hard questions, shed fear-based theology, and let the Holy Spirit lead each person into truth. God doesn’t motivate through terror. He draws through love, and that changes everything.

Are You Hiding?  In this episode, Corinne opens her heart about what it really means to live with nothing to hide. She shares how Jesus met her in her most authentic moments, brought her into the light, and freed her from the pressure of maintaining a perfect image. Even after years in ministry, she found herself slipping back into old patterns of hiding, shaped by judgment, legalism, and expectations from religious environments. But grace kept calling her out of fear and into truth.Through personal stories, hard lessons, and Scripture, she reminds listeners that shame grows in the dark but grace thrives in the light. This episode encourages you to drop the mask, step into freedom, and embrace the life God intended.

One of the most freeing truths we can embrace as believers is this, we do not give to get. We do not give to earn a blessing. We do not give to convince God to do something for us. We give because love moves us. We give because the Spirit of God lives in us and His nature is generosity. When we understand that everything we have in Christ has already been given with no conditions attached, the way we give becomes peaceful and joyful,  instead of heavy and pressured.

This weeks podcast invites listeners into a conversation that has the power to transform the way they read Scripture, understand God, and walk out their faith. Corinne shares how many believers unknowingly mix the old covenant with the new, creating pressure, fear, and spiritual exhaustion. This episode offers something different. It offers clarity. It offers freedom. It offers the lens that brings the entire story of Scripture into focus.Corinne explains that the Bible is written for us, but not every part is written to us. She walks listeners through the timeline that separates law from grace and shows how everything shifts at the cross. Once you see this, verses that once felt heavy begin to make sense. Warnings meant for Israel no longer feel like threats aimed at modern believers. Instead of trying to earn what God already provided, listeners learn to rest in the finished work of Christ.She brings strength and simplicity and  clarity that removes stress. When you finally understand the covenant you live under, confidence replaces confusion. Scripture becomes alive, worship becomes joyful, and your relationship with God becomes rooted in what Jesus accomplished.This is an invitation to step into peace, to discover the beauty of the new covenant, and to walk with the assurance that grace truly changes everything.

Church is not a building. It is the people of God carrying His Spirit into everyday life. The true church is formed by hearts transformed through grace, not by brick or stone. Many were taught that attending a service defines faith, yet Scripture says we are the living temple where His presence dwells. Gathering with believers can be encouraging when the message points to the finished work of Christ, and there is nothing wrong with choosing to attend a local church. What matters is the message we hear. Many teachings blend law and grace and leave people burdened instead of free. If a message says God loves us while still requiring performance to keep His approval, it draws us away from the true Gospel. Grace reveals what Jesus accomplished forever. The church is who we are every day, carrying His love, His truth, and His freedom to the world.

For many years, I longed for Jesus to return and fix what I believed was a broken , cursed, sinful and ugly world. A world beyond repair and needed to be replaced with a new one.I thought the new creation would be a perfect physical world that would replace this one. But over time, my eyes were opened. The new creation is not waiting to arrive, it has already come. It is spiritual in nature, just like the transformation that happens within us. It is entered by faith, not seen by sight.This may challenge what many of us have always believed. It may raise questions. That is good. We are meant to seek, to ask, and to grow.God is not threatened by our questions. He invites us into deeper understanding. The Bible is not simply about scientific or historical events. It is a spiritual and covenantal revelation. A story of God dwelling with His people.The new has come. The Kingdom is here. And we are living init now. Genesis 1Daniel 2:34-35  Daniel 9:43-45Luke 17:20 

Today, we turn our focus to a powerful and hope-filled truth: if you are in Christ, you are already a new creature. This is not about trying harder or earning your way to God. It is about recognizing the transformation that has already taken place. In Christ, you are not being slowly improved; you have been made entirely new. This new identity is not future tense, it is a present reality. Many of us have been taught to wait for a future change, a new world, the New Jerusalem. But Scripture makes it clear that something incredible has already happened. We are not waiting for the new. The new is here.In this episode, we will look closely at what it means to live from that truth. Not by performance or pressure, but by the Spirit who now lives in you. You are not becoming a new person someday. You are already a new creation today. Let’s walk in that reality now.All Scripture taken from NASB 19952 Corinthians 5:17Ephesians 4:17-24

Welcome to our final episode in our 3 part series: What Is the Real Story Behind Satan? We have been looking at a perspective you may never have heard before, and it’s one that could change how you see spiritual opposition, biblical prophecy, and the gospel itself.Today we look at the “satan” in Revelation and learn many references may actually point to corrupt religious leaders who resisted the new covenant of grace, not invisible spiritual beings.The Bible’s language is often symbolic and covenantal, not literal and physical. That changes everything.What if the enemy you’ve been taught to fear isn’t a supernatural monster, but deception itself? What if freedom in Christ doesn’t come from spiritual warfare, but from resting in what’s already finished? We are no longer under the old covenant. Christ fulfilled it and ushered in a gospel of freedom, rest, and truth. But many modern religious systems still teach Law + Grace. That’s not the gospel.Today we wrap up with several questions we should consideras we look at the real story behind satan.Let’s keep learning, questioning, and walking in truth.Remember, You are already free.Scripture taken from the NASB 1995Deuteronomy 31:29Mark 11:15-17Mark 11:18Matthew 23:29-38John 8:44Revelation 2:8-10Revelation 2:12-14Revelation 2:24Revelation 3:9Revelation 12:9Revelation 20:1–2Revelation 20:7-8

For generations, many Christians have been taught to view satan as a powerful, invisible, demonic being persistently working to destroy lives, families, health, and finances. This view has filled countless teachings about spiritual warfare—prayers intended to bind demonic forces, rituals involving anointing oil on doors and windows, and calls to rebuke and resist the devil at every turn. The main message has been clear: you are under constant spiritual attack, and your role as a believer is to fight back with spiritual tools. But what if this entire view is built more on fear, tradition, or misunderstanding than on what the Bible actually teaches? What if satan is not a literal creature with horns and a pitchfork hiding in the shadows, but rather a metaphorical or symbolic term used in scripture to represent opposition to God's purpose? Could it be that "the satan" in the Bible sometimes refers to human adversaries rather than a demonic being? This perspective may feel unsettling or controversial, especially for those raised with the traditional narrative. However, it's worth asking: does this interpretation line up with what scripture really says?Could rethinking our view of satan not only change how we read scripture—but also how we live, believe, and respond to challenges in our daily lives?Today, we explore these questions in depth. We examine the biblical texts and challenge ourselves to reconsider some of our assumptions. Let’s see what the Bible truly says.Thanks for joining me. All Scripture Taken from the NASB 1995 Acts 26:14-18Acts 20:22-24Romans 16:20Genesis 3:152 Corinthians 7:52 Corinthians 10:10-112 Corinthians 11:142 Corinthians 12:71 Thessalonians 2:182 Thessalonians 2:8-101 Timothy 1:201 Timothy 5:14-161 Peter 5:8Ezekiel 22:25Ephesians 6:111 John 3:8

A spiritual journey, from fear-driven religion to freedom intruth. So many messages highlight the devil. Often, we blame the devil foreverything. Sometimes, fear, not freedom, seems to define the Christian walk.The Bible, firmly rooted in Jewish history and context, often uses the word “Satan” (from the Greek) simply to mean “adversary”, one who opposes. It’s not always a supernatural being. It can refer to humans, institutions, or systems standing in opposition to God’s plan. The leaders in Jesus’ day, obsessed with control, had abandoned the true covenant with God. They manipulated the temple, compromised with Rome, and ultimately betrayed their Messiah. Could they have been the real "satan" figure, tempting Jesus to join their system of power and compromise?In this light, much of what modern Christian’s fear, a devil behind every problem, might be a distraction from the real battle: resisting corrupt systems, legalism, and false religion. The Pharisees, not demons, were Jesus’ biggest enemies. Theykilled Him not out of theology, but to protect their power.The takeaway is this: maybe we’ve been fighting illusions, not realities. Maybe peace comes not from “binding the devil,” but from breaking free of religious deception. The victory has already been won through Christ. Now, it’s time to walk in truth, clarity, and freedom. Scripture taken from the NASB 1995Is the Bible There for My Instruction 1 John 4:18Matthew 4:1-11John 19:15Matthew 16:23Mark 4:14-16

Today we get real. I had turned into a modern-day Pharisee and I had unrealistic expectations of those I love. I thought obedience was the key. Now I know love is the key. But before I understood grace, I was more concerned with obedience than anything else and it made my life difficult. Today we talk about how we can do things differently that will bring positive changes immediately. There is more freedom available and today we are going to talk about how to make it our reality. All Scripture Taken from ESVMatthew 15:1-9

Do we live in an illusion? An illusion of what we currently have and what may be coming our way? How much has Hollywood influenced our thinking when it comes to sincere biblical truth? How can we find our freedom in Christ and live it out to the full, abandoning complacency and regret? How have the messages about tribulation and catastrophe subliminally formed our view about God and therefore effected every area of our lives? These are valid questions and the desire to live lives of peace and joy are not only available, they can become a reality in our lives now.Let’s explore these questions and more on today’s Grace at LAST Podcast. All Scripture is taken from the NASB1995John 18:36Mark 4:1-12Leviticus 26Daniel 2:32- 35  Daniel 2:43-45www.LASTministry.orgHebrews New Covenant StudyEphesians New Covenant Study 

Is Jesus coming back? Do we need to be prepared for a second coming and if so, how do we do that? If not, why have we been lied to and told He is coming back any minute (for over 2000 years)? How can I ignore the many voices telling me about a future event where Jesus makes all things new and hear Jesus’ words only? Why is Jesus’ words and the narrative in the church so different? Which one is right?On today’s Grace at LAST Podcast, we finish looking atJesus’ words to see what He had to say about His second coming in Matthew 24.These powerful truths and more on today’s Grace at LAST Podcast.All Scripture is taken from the NASB1995Daniel 9:26-27Matthew 24:17-51Genesis 37:8-10Hebrews - Too Good To Be True; The Gospel of GraceEphesians - Too Good To Be True; The Gospel of GraceNebuchadnezzars Dream by Brad RobertsonBrad Robertson on Grace at LAST Podcast www.LASTministry.org

There are so many claims about Jesus’ return and what God plans on doing in the future. Understanding God’s intentions will help us live in reality. God has told His prophets and messengers His plans so we can be prepared and live in harmony with truth. Understanding Jesus’ second coming is important for every human being to understand so on today’s Grace at LAST Podcast, we look at Jesus’ words. Not self-proclaimed prophets taking scripture out of context but rather, what did Jesus Himself say when His return would be?Once we see Jesus’ words in context, things are going to become much clearer and we will learn truths that will set us free, even if we think this topic is irrelevant. I am so glad you joined in today. All Scripture is taken from the NASB 1995 2 Corinthians 5:17Matthew 5.17-18Daniel 7:13Matthew 24:30Daniel 9:26Matthew 24:1-15

If we are in Christ, we are new creatures. Where do we as new creatures currently live if we are waiting for God to bring in a kingdom sometime in the future? What can we learn about the first creation to help us appreciate today and what God’s new creation offers? When we learn from the first Adam and the contrast in the last Adam, Jesus, we grow. We grow in understanding which makes us grow in love because the appreciation and gratitude just wells up in us and overtakes us. There is so much beauty in this inheritance that belongs to those who are “In Christ”. Let’s grow and learn from the scriptures that tell the Greatest Story Ever Told.All Scripture is taken from the NASB19952 Corinthians 4:182 Corinthians 5:17Daniel 2:43-44Romans 2:28-29Hebrews CourseEphesians Course

Going to church can be a difficult area in our lives.  Is it a one size fits all solution or is there more freedom than that available? What does God think when it comes to church attendance and how do we know? These are questions many of us face and ask often, even if it is in only within our own mind. The church is a beautiful creation, and we do not want to be poisoned in our thinking it is less. God created the church, and we should appreciate and respect it in that context. Let’s learn together what really pleases God when it comes to church attendance.  I am so glad you joined in today.All Scripture is taken from NASB 1995:John 5:39Hebrews 10:24-25Colossians 2:13-142 Corinthians 3:7-8Matthew 23:8-12

Understanding the audience is crucial to understanding the Bible. Otherwise we get very confused and life becomes more difficult than it should be. Jesus offers us rest in the new covenant but many Christians are uptight, discouraged, depressed, anxious and afraid. Today on the Grace at LAST Podcast we look at the audience to whom the Bible was written. We also look at the context of many familiar passages we may misunderstand and therefore bring us into bondage. Christ came to do the very opposite. It was for freedom that Christ came and set us free. Thanks for joining in as we take a look with a fresh perspective at some common verses most have heard many times, but possibly have misunderstood.Scripture is taken from NASB 1995:James 3:1John 8:44Matthew 23:27-28Luke 24:44Hebrews 9:15Genesis 12:1-3John 15:18-25John 17:20-24
