Chris Date has been engaging with the hell debate for a number of years having edited the book, Rethinking Hell (https://amzn.to/2Tlt60g) and become the face of Rethinking Hell Live on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/user/rethinkinghell).
We'll be chatting about hell, the book of Revelation and whatever else comes up in the course of the conversation.
Chris references an article he has written (but gave two titles in the chat) here: http://www.stephenjbedard.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/HRV6-Hell.pdf

I do this for free and am very happy to continue to do so to the extent that my videos will not be monetised if my youtube ever grows that big. If you’d like to support the channel you can do so through a paid subscription on substack. Alternatively use fountain.fm and both donate and earn Bitcoin while you listen!
