The episode also highlights inspiring stories of believers standing boldly for their faith, including former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson sharing the gospel behind the scenes and MLB All-Star Paul Skenes explaining the Bible verse written on his baseball glove.

As always, Steve wraps up with a memorable dad joke, an encouraging Scripture from Ephesians 3, a heartwarming "Best Video on the Internet," and a reminder that our greatest identity is found as children of God.

Where Is Your Identity? Finding Your Worth in Christ, Christian Comedy & Faith in the Spotlight- July 17, 2026

Should churches preach about hell more often? In this thought-provoking episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles a listener's question about why many churches avoid one of the Bible's most sobering topics. He explains why understanding the reality of sin and eternal separation from God makes the Gospel's message of grace through Jesus Christ even more powerful.

Steve also shares a deeply personal story about the sudden passing of a longtime friend—a reminder that life is fragile and tomorrow is never guaranteed. It's an encouraging challenge to tell the people you love how much they mean to you while you still have the opportunity.

Later, Steve welcomes his son, Tyler, creator of the 1189 YouTube channel, for an in-depth conversation about studying Scripture chapter by chapter. Tyler explains the vision behind creating a free Bible commentary covering all 1,189 chapters of the Bible, why the Torah is essential for understanding Jesus, what makes John's Gospel unique, and why every believer can confidently study God's Word.

The Truth About Hell, the Gift of Today, and Why Every Chapter Matters - July 16, 2026

What do daylight saving time, Habakkuk's unanswered questions, cigars and cocktails, the nature of hell, and healing from spiritual abuse all have in common? More than you might think.

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve opens with a lighthearted campaign to finally end the twice-a-year clock change before diving into much deeper conversations about faith, culture, and biblical truth.

Steve explores whether Christians should participate in drinking and smoking, sharing why he chooses a higher standard for the sake of his witness. During this week's Seek & Find Bible study, he unpacks the powerful message of the prophet Habakkuk—a man who boldly questioned God during seasons of suffering and discovered that trusting God's character is greater than having every answer.

Later, Steve welcomes Steve Gregg of The Narrow Path for an engaging discussion about the three historic Christian views of hell. Rather than avoiding difficult theological questions, they examine Scripture with humility while encouraging believers to study God's Word for themselves.

The episode also highlights encouraging news from Christian media, shares the powerful testimony of Franni Cash's journey out of spiritual abuse and into God's healing grace, and closes with a moving reflection from Dr. Peter Kreeft on the enduring beauty of covenant marriage.

Whether you're wrestling with unanswered prayers, theological questions, or simply looking for biblical encouragement, this episode reminds us that God is faithful—even when we don't fully understand His plan.
