Did God create 100 billion people just to send them to hell?
About this episode
Mike Bird and Tom Wright dive into another round of thoughtful listener questions. First: how do you go about choosing a church? Tom lays out wise principles for discerning a community rooted in the gospel, shaped by worship, and committed to mission. Next: catechisms. From centuries-old confessions to modern teaching tools, Tom shares which one has shaped him most and why. Finally: a weighty question on God’s character. Did God create billions of people only to condemn them? Tom wrestles with how Scripture frames judgment, mercy, and the ultimate purpose of creation, offering hope that rests in God’s love and justice.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?
