Are you Going to Heaven?

How many people are in heaven? How many are in hell? That's exactly the question someone asked Jesus in Luke 13. And His answer? It wasn’t a number. It was a warning: “Strive to enter through the narrow gate.”  In this episode, I unpack what Jesus was really saying and why asking how many is the wrong question. This isn’t about statistics. It’s about YOU. Your heart. Your relationship with God.   What You’ll Discover: What Luke 13 actually means (and doesn’t) Why salvation isn’t a system you figure out, it’s a person you cling to The Church’s teaching on purgatory, hell, and mortal sin What Pope Benedict XVI said about how few are truly ready for heavenWhy there’s still real hope for the rest of us   If you’ve ever assumed you were “good enough,” or felt too far gone, this episode will challenge you and give you hope.   LINKS FROM THE EPISODE:    Lumen Gentium: https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19641121_lumen-gentium_en.html   Spe Salvi - Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical on hope: https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20071130_spe-salvi.html    St. Cyril of Alexandria’s reflection on Luke 13: https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/cyril_on_luke_10_sermons_99_109.htm    Sign up for the Daily Anchor for FREE and receive daily reflections, updates, and encouragement from Chris Stefanick to help you live with the joy you were made for: https://mailchi.mp/reallifecatholic/daily-anchor-landing-page-20  ....
