Does Everyone Go to Heaven? with Michael McClymond

Happy Wednesday! 

Today on the podcast, we welcome Michael McClymond. He shares about his faith journey as well as his new book. He talks a bit about why the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes played a part in his search for meaning. Then, he chats about Universalism— what it is, why it is a personal topic for him, and the theological consequences of embracing it. 

They also chat a bit about Richard Rohr (one of those who made the Enneagram popular) and his theology, self-oriented spirituality, a not-often discussed part of the Gospel message, mental health & social media, and more!

We hope you enjoy this episode!
