Heaven, Paradise & Purgatory: What Happens When We Die? (S3EP2)

What happens when we die? Is heaven the final destination, or is there something even greater ahead? In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright explore the Christian hope of life after death and the promise of the new heavens and new earth. Together they unpack Jesus’ words to the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise”, and ask what the Bible really means by paradise. They also discuss what Christians mean when they talk about the “soul”, what happens between death and resurrection, and why the ultimate aim of God’s plan is not escape from earth, but the union of heaven and earth in a renewed creation. Along the way, they examine how different Christian traditions, including the Catholic understanding of purgatory, have approached these questions through the centuries. A thoughtful and hope-filled conversation about death, resurrection, and the future God has promised.
