4.26 Resurrectional (wk3) Questions Thinking Christians Ask

6.7 Sacred Conversations + Honest Questions (wk1) God, Heaven, What Follows Death?

This conversation explores honest questions about God, heaven, and life after death, presenting God not as a doctrine to master but as the love, grace, and goodness that draw us toward deeper humanity. Heaven is described less as a distant destination and more as God's renewing presence breaking into the world now—experienced whenever we forgive, love, seek justice, and participate in bringing God's kingdom to earth. While Scripture leaves many details about the afterlife unexplained, it offers hope that death is not the end, that we are being transformed into the fullness of who we were created to be, and that our calling today is to live into heaven's reality through love.

5.31 Resurrectional (wk6) Death Nor The Tyrant Has The Last Word

The resurrection of Jesus is not just about life after death but about a new reality beginning now—one where love, forgiveness, and restoration reshape how we live and relate to others. Through Jesus’ gracious restoration of Peter in John 21, we see how death and redemptive violence no longer have the final word because Christ has inaugurated a new way of being human. As a result, followers of Jesus are called to embody this new life through practical acts of love, compassion, inclusion, and service, such as caring for those in need and refusing to perpetuate cycles of hurt and victimhood.

By comparing road trips, social media, and modern life, it argues that while we often seek stimulation, what our souls actually need is relief, restoration, presence, and Sabbath. Ultimately, it points us to the invitation of Jesus—not toward more productivity or consumption, but toward a conversation of a slower, healthier, more sustainable way of living.

5.17 Resurrectional (wk5) You Can't Stay Here

If you celebrate Christ's resurrection only one day a year, we may be missing something really BIG. The end of Matthew's gospel invites us into the meaning and wonder of it all. At the heart of this story is the belief that in Jesus' resurrection a new world is being brought into existence and we are invited to participate in it "as we go' about our daily lives.
