What the heck is this place and why does it matter? Is it just another name for hell? Did Jesus descend to hell after He died?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at where people went after death before Jesus died on the cross. We look at Sheol and Hades and compare the two, as well as debunking myths about what Jesus did after dying on the cross. Our hope is that this episode will give you a clear understanding of what Sheol is when you come across the word in the Bible and why it is important to Jesus' death and resurrection.
