What if the greatest truth about heaven is that none of us could ever earn it?

After weeks of talking about hell, eternity, urgency, judgment, and the posture of our hearts, the Emptying Hell series ends with the most important message of all — grace.

Not earned. Not deserved. Not achieved through good works.

Grace is the incredible gift of God given freely through Jesus Christ. While sin separated us from God, Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven, restored, and welcomed home. Salvation was never about being “good enough.” It has always been about surrendering to the One who already paid the price.

In the final part of the Emptying Hell series on The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie unpacks the beauty of grace and why the gospel is the best news humanity has ever received.

Why do we struggle so much with the idea of hell?

Maybe because deep down, we compare ourselves to other people instead of comparing ourselves to a holy God. We think in terms of “good people” and “bad people,” while forgetting that every good thing we have is only because of God’s mercy and grace. Every good thing comes from Him. And eternity is shaped by what we believe about Jesus.

In Part 4 of the Emptying Hell series on The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie talks about our struggle with hell, what eternity apart from God really means, and how the issue has always been about the posture of our hearts toward Him.

People are dying. Eternity is real. And the time to speak up is now.

Too many believers live like there’s always more time. More time to invite. More time to share Jesus. More time to have the conversation. But every day, people step into eternity without hope.

We cannot afford to be casual about what’s eternal.

In Part 3 of the Emptying Hell series on The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie talks about the urgency of the gospel, the reality that we will be judged for our works, and why every believer is called to live with urgency for the sake of heaven.

This episode is a reminder that the mission matters now. The gospel matters now. Souls matter now.

What happens when you ask artificial intelligence about hell?

We asked AI about hell. Just straight up asked it what hell is, who goes there, and what the Bible says about it. The answers? They might surprise you! Not because they were wrong, but because it was unexpectedly right. In a world that's running from the topic of hell, it's worth paying attention when even a machine trained on the entirety of human knowledge lands right where Scripture does.

In Part 2 of the Emptying Hell series on The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie digs into what AI has to say about eternity and why the answers should make every believer stop and think about how they're sharing their faith.

What if the most avoided topic in church is the one that matters most?

There's a conversation most believers never have. Not because they don't believe it, but because they don't know what to do with it. Hell is all over Scripture. Jesus talked about it more than almost anyone. So why do we go quiet when it comes up?

And here's the bigger question. If we really believe what the Bible says about eternity, how should that change the way we live, the way we talk, and the way we love the people around us?

In this episode of The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie opens up a conversation the church has been avoiding and asks the question most of us haven't let ourselves sit with long enough: what does it actually look like to take eternity seriously?

This one might shift something in you.

What if you've been wrong about healing?

A lot of believers quietly carry the same assumption — that miracles were for Bible times, that healing was for then, not now. We trust God to save a soul for eternity… but struggle to believe He'd touch a body today. Does that add up? Imagine walking into every room, every conversation, every hospital visit believing that the same God who opened blind eyes and raised the dead is still that God — right here, right now.

What would you pray differently? How would your faith hit differently if healing wasn't just a chapter in a history book but a Christ given promise for TODAY? In this episode of The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie challenges the mindset that puts God's power in the past and opens the door to a Christ centered faith that expects Him to move — not just back then, but right where you're standing.

What's the most neglected verse in the entire Bible?

It's not hidden. It's not hard to find. In fact, you've probably read right past it dozens of times. But if believers actually lived this one verse out, it could change everything — your conversations, your relationships, and the way you share your faith. In this episode of The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie unpacks the verse most Christians overlook and shows why it might be the missing key to reaching the people right in front of you.

In this episode, Tom Elie gets honest about the gap between what we believe behind closed doors and what we're willing to say out loud. He talks about where the fear comes from, why it keeps so many believers silent, and why you were never designed to keep your faith to yourself.

What do you do when you've prayed and God didn't answer the way you hoped? Is He still enough?

In this message, Tom Elie sits with one of the most honest questions a believer can ask and doesn't give you a tidy answer. He talks about what it really means to know God, not just know about Him, and shares from his own life the moments that shaped that knowing.
