To close this season of “Things That Matter,” host Pastor Brian Brodersen interviews Kyle Strobel, professor at Talbot Seminary and coauthor of the book, “The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb: Searching for Jesus' Path of Power in a Church that Has Abandoned It.” Kyle and Brian discuss insight from great preachers and theologians, such as Jonathon Edwards, J.I. Packer and more! Kyle also defines spiritual formation and examines the corruption of power in the church, as he shares, “You can’t hide biblical power. People will find it.”  Thank you for all your support and feedback as we seek to present a platform to discuss “Things That Matter” in today’s environment and culture.

How real is heaven to you? Even as believers, is heaven just a concept that we read or study in the Word rather than a real, ultimate destination? We read about joy and hope God infuses within us towards, not only heaven, but also to carry us through the ups and downs of this life. Do we truly LIVE this reality out for others to see? Pastor Brian Brodersen considers such truths in a discussion with author, Randy Alcorn. Having written over fifty books, pastored a church at one time and now directing the non-profit, Eternal Perspective Ministries, Randy shares the need to remember that true happiness and hope in heaven is a real thing that matters.
