Your life doesn’t end with heaven — it begins with a relationship.

In this episode of Faith in Culture, we ask a challenging question many Christians never stop to consider: Is heaven the goal, or is a relationship with Jesus the goal?

Using John 14, Luke 15, and other key passages, we talk about why heaven is more than a destination — it’s the presence of God — and why knowing Jesus Himself matters more than simply knowing about heaven.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Whether heaven is a place or a relationship• Why you can’t have heaven without Jesus

• The difference between head knowledge and heart surrender

• What the thief on the cross teaches us about salvation

• Why eternity begins the moment you know Christ

If you’ve ever wondered what God’s ultimate plan really is for your life, this episode will challenge, encourage, and refocus your faith.

🎙 Faith in Culture is a podcast with real conversations about how to live out your faith in today’s culture.
