Heaven: Do We Know Enough To Want To Go? (with Randy Alcorn)
Melissa and Courtney talk with Randy Alcorn about what we can and can’t know about the life to come. They talk about the importance of understanding the new earth and its continuity with this world, and they discuss what we know about the state of those who die in Christ before they receive resurrected bodies.
Randy explains why he wrote a whole book about animals in heaven, and why questions about animals bring into focus key aspects of the new creation.
