Nicole & Trinity VS. Eternal Damnation | Ep. 8

In this episode, we take on the following questions (while keeping in mind those who struggle with scrupulosity): * How are we supposed to attach to God given the existence of Hell? * Does the possibility of Hell mean we can't trust God's heart for us? * How can we reconcile the need to trust Him with the possibility of eternal damnation?
