Re-Post: “Hell after Death” - Episode 6 in the series, “Heaven and Hell”

In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their exploration of heaven and hell by asking what happens after death. If heaven is not simply a place we go forever, and hell is not merely a punishment imposed from outside, what is the soul’s journey through purification, truth, and love?
The conversation begins with the question of whether life without love is already a kind of hell on earth. From there, Patrick and Jonah turn toward near-death experiences, the overwhelming reality of divine love, and the way this love does not simply excuse everything, but reveals everything. In the light of love, all that is not love must be seen, felt, and transformed.
Together they explore repentance, purgatory, and the burning process of self-knowledge as gifts of love rather than punishments. At the heart of the episode is the mystery that bliss is not the fullness of love, but can serve love’s fulfillment: the free choice to enter suffering, sacrifice, and earthly life for the sake of blessing another.
