What does God really want us to know about who He is? His Word is perfect, we are not. We have morphed and twisted His perfect message into self-justifications based our ideas of who He is. We can’t limit an infinitely Sovereign God who has clearly communicated His purpose, priorities, and plans for us. He is bigger than we can express. He is larger than we can explain. So we move beyond our divisions, to His Prayer. He prayed we \"...would be one...\" Jesus prayed we would know, The Heart Of God.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T00:20:26.849255+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 140 What About Those Who Have Never Heard?","slug":"episode-140-what-about-those-who-have-never-heard","published_at":"2026-05-08T18:02:41+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433/episode-140-what-about-those-who-have-never-heard","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433","url":"https://barryvoorhies.podbean.com/e/episode-140-what-about-those-who-have-never-heard/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/9bb2awva3fpke2i3/Episode_140_What_About_Those_Who_Never_Heard_antfv.mp3","summary":"Episode Intro for The Heart of God Podcast – Episode 140: “What About Those Who Have Never Heard?” Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, where we draw near to the Father’s heart through His Word and discover how every truth about Him makes us love Him more. In today’s episode, we’re facing one of the strongest objections to Christianity head-on: What about those who have never heard the Gospel? If God is loving and just, how do we explain the fact that some people grow up hearing the good news of Jesus while entire people groups never once hear His name? It’s a question millions wrestle with—and it’s one of the most common reasons people push back against the Christian faith. But Scripture doesn’t leave us without answers. In this episode, we go straight to the Bible: What does the Apostle Paul teach in Romans 2 about those who never received the written law? What surprising statement did Jesus Himself make in Matthew 12 that directly addresses judgment for those who’ve never heard? And is there a massive declaration by King David in the Psalms that reveals how our God is perfectly good and perfectly righteous in His judgments? We don’t give shallow answers or clichés. We walk through the text in detail so you can see for yourself how the same God who is sovereign over every nation is also the God who judges with perfect fairness. Far from weakening our faith, this truth actually magnifies God’s sovereignty and deepens our trust in His heart. If you’ve ever wondered about the fate of the unevangelized, if you’ve been asked this question by a skeptic, or if you simply want to know your God more clearly, this episode is for you. Hit play, open your Bible with us, and let the Word of God settle this objection once and for all—leaving you with a bigger, more beautiful visio…","meta_description":"Episode Intro for The Heart of God Podcast – Episode 140: “What About Those Who Have Never Heard?” Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, where we draw near…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3180,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-heart-of-god-7029433/episodes/episode-140-what-about-those-who-have-never-heard/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433/episode-140-what-about-those-who-have-never-heard.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
