The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Pets in Heaven | Revealed by Fire | Ep 26

Today we share our first “The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly” sermon review as part of the Revealed by Fire podcast segment. We discuss an element of the April 2025 sermon entitled “Family Game Night: Winning in the End” by Pastor Mark McClelland of Willowbrook Church in Huntsville, Alabama. The sermon topic is heaven. We focus on the portion of that sermon addressing whether pets will go to heaven.
