#68. The Origins Of Satan - Life After Death Part 2

ExCommunicated

04/16/23 • 67 min

Welcome to another episode of the ExCommunicated podcast. We are two ex-Christians joined every week by a guest as we try to find freedom from the church after decades of control.
We're officially moving into our FOURTH season of the podcast, which feels surreal to even say, so thanks so much if you've made it this far!
This season we're going to be looking at one of the most worrying topics you must face when deconverting - Life After Death. Heaven and Hell, and have I made a mistake?
This week we take a look at the origins of Satan in the bible, and discuss how this differs from our pre-conceived notions of where he came from.
