Does Christianity really boil down to “love God or else”?
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we take that accusation seriously—and test it. If God is truly loving, why does separation from Him carry real consequences? Is that coercion… or is it simply how reality works?
Using a simple two-room house in Antarctica, this episode explores why Scripture presents God not as someone who withholds goodness as leverage, but as the very source of love, joy, peace, and life itself. We unpack freedom, hell, common grace, and why rejecting the source of warmth naturally results in cold—not because God is cruel, but because separation has consequences.
This episode is for anyone who’s wrestled with hard questions about hell, free will, and the nature of God—and wants answers that make sense.
It Makes Sense — How the Christian worldview makes the most sense of life and the universe.
