What Did Jesus Say About Hell?

What did Jesus actually teach about hell? Many of the ideas people have about hell come from movies, television, popular culture, and tradition rather than Scripture. In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw looks at what Jesus said about hell, why He spoke about it, and what it reveals about God's heart for people. This thoughtful, Bible-based devotional explores eternal separation from God, God's desire that people be saved, and the hope found through Jesus Christ.

Knowing the Bible vs Living the Bible

Most Christians already know far more Scripture than they're putting into practice. We know we're supposed to forgive. We know we're supposed to trust God. We know we're supposed to love difficult people. The challenge often isn't learning something new—it's applying what we already know. In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw talks about the difference between hearing God's Word and living it, and why spiritual growth isn't measured by information alone.

God Rarely Does Things the Way We Expect

Have you ever prayed for an answer and then watched God work in a completely different way than you expected? In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw shares his personal story of pursuing a career in secular radio, only to watch God close doors he wanted opened and open unexpected doors that led him into Christian radio instead. Using Isaiah 55:8-9 and Proverbs 3:5-6, this devotional explores why God's plans often look different from our plans, and why His guidance doesn't always follow the path we imagine. If you're waiting for direction, struggling with closed doors, questioning God's timing, or wondering why things aren't unfolding the way you hoped, this episode offers encouragement to trust God's wisdom even when His methods don't make immediate sense.

Can Faith Really Move Mountains?

Jesus said that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. But what did He mean? In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw talks about one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Bible. Does mountain-moving faith mean Christians can accomplish anything if they believe hard enough? Or was Jesus teaching something deeper? Using Matthew 17:20, 2 Corinthians 5:7, and Jesus' teaching on childlike faith, this devotional encourages believers who feel like their faith is small, weak, or imperfect. If you've ever wondered whether your faith is enough, this episode offers biblical encouragement and a practical understanding of what it means to trust God.
