100: What Really Happens When You Die? — The Truth About Heaven, Sleep, and the Soul
In our 100th episode, Todd, Laura, and Kelly unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity — what actually happens when you die. Do we go straight to heaven? Do we sleep until the resurrection? Is the “immortal soul” even biblical?
Todd challenges the centuries-old belief that our souls are naturally eternal — tracing its roots from Plato and Hellenistic philosophy into early church doctrine. Laura brings a thoughtful pastoral angle, exploring the emotional and theological implications of rethinking heaven, hell, and what death really means in light of biblical Hebrew worldview rather than Western tradition.
This episode dives into:
The Jewish understanding of death as “sleep”
Why the immortal soul isn’t in Scripture
How Greek philosophy shaped Christian doctrine
The connection between Gnosticism and modern church ideas of heaven
What the Bible actually teaches about the resurrection and judgment
Why our physical lives now matter in God’s eternal plan
Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or seeking clarity, this episode will challenge what you thought you knew about life after death — and point you back to what the Bible actually says.
