Are you a good enough person to get into heaven?

It’s one of the most common beliefs about salvation—and when Logan Paul was asked about his confidence that he would go to heaven, his answer sounded a lot like what millions of people would probably say: I’ve made mistakes, but I’m trying to be a good person.

On today’s Steve Marston Show, Steve breaks down Logan Paul’s conversation with 22-year-old evangelist Bryce Crawford and examines the fundamental difference between trusting in our own goodness and trusting in what Jesus has done for us. Bryce offers a simple courtside-ticket analogy that provides a great example of how Christians can explain the Gospel naturally and conversationally.

Then, in Christian Explain Yourself, Steve tackles something Christians say constantly: “In Jesus’ name, amen.” Why do we end our prayers that way? Is it a biblical command? Does saying those words somehow make a prayer more powerful? Steve explains why praying in Jesus’ name is about far more than simply adding a phrase to the end of a prayer.

Plus, Tyler Marston from 1189 joins the show to explore one of the Bible’s most action-packed chapters—Acts 27. Paul is a prisoner aboard a ship headed toward Rome when a violent storm changes everything. Through shipwreck, fear and uncertainty, Paul demonstrates what faithful obedience looks like when circumstances are completely beyond our control.
