For many people, the Christian message sounds simple: believe in Jesus so you can go to heaven when you die. But when we read the Gospels, Jesus seems to be talking about something even bigger—the arrival of the Kingdom of God. In this episode, we explore whether heaven is the goal or part of a much larger story of redemption and restoration. We also close this episode by diving into the idea of sanctification, the process of God slowly transforming our hearts, habits, and character as we learn to follow Jesus.
