Are You Ready for What Happens When You Die?

Death is not something most of us want to think about, yet Scripture makes it clear—eternity is written on every heart. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:11 that God has set eternity in the human heart, while James reminds us that life is a vapor that quickly vanishes (James 4:14). None of us are promised tomorrow. Whether through sudden accidents, illness, or natural causes, death can come unexpectedly, and with it comes the unavoidable reality of eternity.

The Bible teaches that God's Word is "living and active" (Hebrews 4:12), not just an ancient book, but a divine revelation that speaks truth into our lives today. It reveals that eternity is certain, and that every person will live forever after death—either in God's presence or separated from Him in hell. Hebrews 9:27 declares, "It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment."

But God has made a way through Jesus Christ, who alone died, rose again, and is alive forevermore. Believers in Him receive eternal life, while unbelievers face judgment. Jesus Himself warned to "be on the alert, for you do not know the day nor the hour" (Matthew 25:13). That is why the Bible urges us to be ready now, not later. There are no second chances beyond the grave.

This message also explores the often-avoided doctrine of election, showing from Scripture that salvation is not based on human effort but on God's mercy and sovereign choice. Yet we are commanded to spread the gospel, because faith comes by hearing the Word of Christ (Romans 10:17).

The question remains: are you ready for what happens when you die? Eternity is forever. There are no do-overs or second chances for anyone who does not accept Christ before they die.

In light of recent events in Iran, we explore the crucial question: What is God's Providence in War and the Defense of a Nation—and what is our role as believers? Drawing from Psalm 33:10–12 and other key Scriptures, this episode lays out four Biblical truths:

1. God Rules Over Nations and Wars – Daniel 2:21 and Proverbs 21:1 remind us that God raises up and removes leaders according to His purpose.

2. War Can Be a Tool of Divine Judgment or Protection – Ecclesiastes 3:8 and Romans 13:3–4 teach us that governments are divinely appointed to restrain evil and protect the innocent.

3. God's Sovereignty Doesn't Remove Human Responsibility – Micah 6:8 reminds us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly—even in decisions of war.

4. God's People Must Pray for Leaders and Soldiers – 1 Timothy 2:1–2 calls us to intercede for those in authority so that peace and godliness may prevail.

As Christians, we must trust that no war, ruler, or outcome exists apart from the sovereign will of God. Our calling is to act with justice, pray with urgency, and rest in God's perfect plan.

🙏 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." – Psalm 33:12

What if Easter didn't happen? What if Jesus never died, never rose again, and wasn't alive today? Then your faith would be meaningless, the Bible a lie, and death would truly be the end. But… He did rise, and that changes everything.

In this powerful episode, you'll discover why the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just history—it's your eternity. We'll examine astonishing biblical accounts of people raised from the dead before Jesus, and we'll reveal the one MAJOR difference that sets Jesus' resurrection apart: He didn't die again. He's alive—right now.

This episode dives into Scripture—Old and New Testament—looking at real-life resurrections and what they mean for your future. We'll uncover two words that will change your life—or how you think about your life—forever: Eternity and Forgiven.

If you've ever wondered whether Easter matters to you personally, this episode will bring clarity, conviction, and hope. And if you're ready to confidently explain the resurrection to others, take notes—because this is the foundation of our faith.

Nothing upsets more people than the Doctrine of Election and the Doctrine of Predestination. On today's podcast, we will take a deep dive into these doctrines. Election looks back in time and refers to God's choosing certain people that He deemed to be His children before the formation of the world, "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him" (Ephesians 1:4). Predestination looks forward in time to the destiny He has planned for those whom He has chosen, "who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood…" (1 Peter 1:1-2). On today's podcast, get answers to questions including:

• Is Elect and Predestination actually in the Bible?
• Who are the Elect?
• Does God send some people to Hell?

In this episode, we explore HOW TO LIVE WHEN WE HAVE REGRETS.

Music often reflects our emotions, and regret is a common theme in many classic songs like Frank Sinatra's "My Way," Taylor Swift's "Back to December," and Adele's "Hello." But what does regret really mean?

• Regret is a feeling of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over something that has happened or been done. The Bible addresses regret, highlighting the importance of repentance and turning toward God. The Apostle Paul wrote, "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death" (2 Corinthians 7:10 NASB).

If you have ever said to yourself, "I should have," "I would have," or "I could have," learn how to live a fulfulling life without regret stealing your joy in life.

Hear Biblical stories of regret, from Adam and Eve, Pharoah, King Saul, King David, Judas Iscariot, the Apostle Peter, and the Prodigal Son.

Learn how to transform regrets into wisdom and joy through God's mercy and grace. We'll discuss practical steps on how to live with regrets, including confessing sins, praying, embracing God's new mercies each day, and finding peace in His sovereignty.

Exploring One of the Most Unpopular Truths

In this episode, we tackle one of the most controversial and challenging questions: "Is Hell real?" Join us as we delve into the significance of this question and why it matters to everyone, regardless of their beliefs.

Why Should We Be Concerned?

It's a common question: If God is so good, why would He send anyone to Hell? This episode explores this dilemma and addresses the misconception that all paths lead to the same destination. We discuss the stark reality that while physical death is inevitable for all of us, the uncertainty of when it will happen makes it crucial to be prepared. Psalm 139:16 reminds us that God knows the number of our days, underscoring the urgency of understanding and avoiding Hell.

What Determines Our Eternity?

Our perception of God plays a pivotal role in determining our eternity. The ultimate authority on Hell is the Holy Bible, not opinions or stories. A.W. Tozer and C.S. Lewis provide additional insights into the doctrine of Hell, emphasizing its support in Scripture and reason. Jesus' teachings on Hell are profound, and we categorize His words into five themes to help us grasp its reality.

• Reality of Hell
• Rebellion: Consequences of Rejecting God
• Regret: The Pain of Missed Opportunities
• Relentless: The Unending Nature of Hell
• Reconciliation: The Good News of Salvation

Click here for more episodes, free downloads, and to support our mission of spreading God's word. Your contribution could make an eternal difference in someone's life because God does not save anyone before they hear the Gospel. The Apostle Paul says in Romans 10:17 (NASB), "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."

Why should we be concerned either way if Hell is real or not? The topic of hell is dead serious and must be settled for everyone because the knowledge of hell has eternal consequences. One Thing Everyone Agrees On Regardless of political party or religion affiliation, no one escapes dying. Whether someone believes in a real hell or not, we are all still going to die. The thing that we DON'T know, is WHEN we are going to die. Why Is There Hell? If God is such a good God, why would He create Hell? First we must acknowledge the inseparable link between God's justice and God's love. Hell exists because God is just and holy, not because He is a harsh God. For those who have decided to reject His love and grace, Hell is their last resting place. Does God Like to Punish People? Ezekiel 33:11 (NASB) says, "Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord God, 'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?'" Your Source of Truth Determines Your Fate What most people have never done is to study what the Bible says about hell. And what people determine as their source of truth will determine their belief, or disbelief, about hell. Learn what scripture says about how many will live in hell for eternity and why. And learn the answer to, "Isn't hell only for bad people?"

No Second Chance After Someone Dies There is no second chance to get into Heaven if someone dies before accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior. In John 8:24 (NASB) Jesus says, "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." Jesus is plainly saying that the fatal sin, the one sin that cannot be forgiven, the eternal sin, is to deny Him as the Messiah and the Son of God. All OTHER sins CAN BE FORGIVEN, but NOT THE SIN of denying Christ. How To Accept Christ

• If you or someone you know is not a Christian, the way to accept Christ is to pray and invite Him into your heart now if you feel a stirring in your heart because it may be God who is sending an invitation. If you don't know what to say, you can say something simple like, "Jesus, please come into my heart. I want accept you as my Lord and Savior beginning right now. Please forgive me for my sins."
• Do not be deceived: No one can save themselves, and no magic phrases to repeat given by a pastor or being called up to a stage, dunked in a water tank and getting baptized…NONE of that will save anybody. Only God can save someone. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB) says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast."
