How will the resurrection actually work? What about the people we've lost? What about the people we leave behind? Will I see the people I miss again? 

As we bring this 15 day journey into land those are the questions we're asking! We hope this conversation - and this whole podcast - inspires you to live in the light of Heaven and maybe even share the hope of Heaven with somebody you know. 

Today's Bible passage is taken from the letter of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

One of Jesus' final promises to his followers before his execution reveal that Jesus knew where he was headed in death and intended to save a seat for his friends in Heaven. 

What difference could it make in your life right now, especially to your levels of anxiety, to know that there's a heavenly seat saved for you? That's the question we're finding out more about in this episode.

We're in John 14:1-6  

In this podcast we're getting to the bottom of perhaps one of the most urgent questions we might have when it comes to Heaven...Am I good enough? 

The answer might surprise you! 

We dive into Philippians 3:7-14 where Paul describes his law-abiding past and why he's opted for a new way of living since coming to know Jesus. 

Wait a second...you mean Heaven isn't just for me?

The New Testament (the writings in the Bible about Jesus and after Jesus) tells us that in Heaven we'll live in unity with one another...so how do we behave like people who are looking forward to spending eternity together? That's the question raised in today's Bible passage from the book of Philippians. (Philippians 2:1-16)
