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:
If you’ve ever assumed you were “good enough,” or felt too far gone, this episode will challenge you and give you hope.
