Ep 060: Do Babies Go to Heaven? The Age of Accountability Explained

Mar 30, 2026    Michael Moos, McKenzie Banks, Jesse Hailey

What happens to babies or young children who die before they are able to understand the gospel? And what about people who are mentally or physically unable to make a personal decision for Christ? In this episode, we explore what Christians often refer to as the age of accountability and what the Bible actually says about God’s justice, mercy, and care for children. While the phrase itself does not appear in Scripture, there are important passages that shape how many believers think about this difficult question. This conversation is meant to address common concerns with honesty and humility while pointing back to the character of God and the hope we have in Him.
