What happens when you die—and what does the Bible actually teach about heaven, hell, resurrection, and eternity?In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing examines the Christian hope of bodily resurrection, the intermediate state, the new heavens and new earth, eternal life with God, and the sobering reality of hell and final judgment.Heaven and hell are not metaphors, myths, or religious scare tactics. Scripture presents eternity as a reality every person must face. But for the Christian, the future is not merely about “going to heaven.” Our ultimate hope is resurrection and life in God's renewed creation.This message calls us to consider eternity seriously, repent of sin, trust in Christ alone, and live with urgency, compassion, and hope in light of the gospel.

Brian interviews four-time Grammy-winning music producer Ricky "Slikk Muzik" Offord about his new book, 33 Days Between Heaven and Hell. Ricky, who has produced for artists including Kirk Franklin, Lecrae, Ariana Grande, and Tori Kelly, shares the harrowing story of a routine gallbladder surgery in 2016 that led to a 33-day coma, multiple cardiac arrests, and an out-of-body experience where he encountered a vast line of people from every nation waiting before heaven's gates. He describes praying for a second chance and vowing to share his story and rededicate his life to Christ, and how that encounter transformed him from simply a successful producer into a man driven by his faith and a calling to point others toward Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In my exploration of angels, there is an angel that has avoided being named to me until now. What I've been finding out is that he is the most misunderstood, shunned creature of God out there. With nicknames like, "Shadow of God" is it any wonder why this angel is surrounded by controversy. Is he a fallen angel? Or one of the Seraphim order doing God's work in secret? Did he in fact build the Ark of the Covenant?Let's get into it. Bezaliel (Bez-A-liel) 101First off, the basics.I found this from Digital Bible, "Bezaliel, whose name is Hebrew in origin and means "Shadow of God," is often mentioned within esoteric and Jewish mystical traditions. If you've heard the phrase 'esoteric and mystical traditions' but couldn't define it, I found this. It is another way of saying 'mystery tradition' or the seeking of hidden or inner meaning. Back to the angel, or Shadow of God, at hand. While some sources suggest that he is a fallen angel, others propose that Bezaliel is an archangel who belongs to the order of angels known as Seraphim, famous for their six wings and their close proximity to God. In the grimoire "A Dictionary of Angels," writer Gustav Davidson includes Bezaliel as one of the many non-canonical angels. In some interpretations, Bezaliel is portrayed as an angel who fell from grace, although the specifics behind his fall are not elaborately explained. Seeking more information, I found it on YouTube.Myth Cast from YouTube asks...What if there was an angel so mysterious, so powerful and so hidden...that even Heaven and Hell don't fully understand him? Meet Bezaliel - the 13th Watcher and Angel of Shadows. In their short video linked in the show notes, they say that Bezaliel is mentioned as one of the Watchers, the 13th Watcher to be specific. Because of the nature of his work, he is not accepted in Heaven or Hell, and is begrudgingly envied by the other angels for the secret tasks he sets about doing for God, in the name of God. Mentioned in the Book of Enoch, a book banned from the conventional bible, he is a figure of great mystery and intrigue.Show Sources:Bezaliel, the Fallen Angel of Shadows, Myth Cast, YouTubeBezaliel: The Intriguing Study of a Fallen Angel, Digital BibleBezalel (their spelling) on WikipediaThe Complete Book of EnochArk of the Covenant, Pastor Russell Mckinney's blogSend us Fan MailIf you are searching for a fresh, binge-able podcast, this might be the one for you!Support the showSupport Curious Cat, an independent, human-made podcast!***Curious Cat Podcast on Substack!***Buy Curious Cat Podcast a Coffee!
In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their series on heaven and hell by asking why Christian spirituality still speaks of enemies, adversaries, demons, and battle. Wouldn't it be better to move beyond all language of conflict and darkness?The conversation explores the danger of spiritual paths that seek bliss by escaping pain, evil, and the cross. Patrick and Jonah distinguish bliss from love, and ask what it means to follow Christ not out of the world, but into a deeper relationship with it. Through Psalm 23, communion, Halloween, Judas, and the call to “take up your cross,” they reflect on how Christ prepares a table in the presence of our enemies.At the heart of the episode is the mystery that the adversary is not simply removed, but transformed into an unwitting servant of our becoming. In the presence of challenge, betrayal, pain, and evil, we are invited to die to what is hardened in us and become capable of a freer, deeper love.Ask us a question here!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Daniel 12:1-13
Matthew 25:31-46 says that when Jesus returns, everyone is gathered and separated, and there are only two places to go. Hell is not devils with pitchforks. It is the full wrath of God with no filter, and the weeping and gnashing of teeth shows that the people there are still angry at God, still refusing him, which is why the door is locked from the inside. Heaven is the opposite. It is God's own joy, endless and always new, with none of the "yeah, but" that trails every good thing in this life. That is why the objection cuts both ways. If heaven is God's joy, it is only good news to people who actually want God. The passage answers who gets in, and the answer is not that they fed the poor well enough. The "least of these my brothers" are Jesus' own messengers, and receiving them means receiving the message they carried. Everything you owed for offending an infinite God, Jesus paid on the cross, so people in hell get exactly what they deserve and people in heaven get what they never earned. And notice that the sheep argue with the verdict. They do not recognize the list of good things read back to them, because they were never building a case. Their joys had simply been rewired by grace, and the kindness came out as overflow. That is what being ready looks like. Not a record you assembled, but a heart that already delights in what God delights in.

In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their exploration of heaven and hell by asking what happens after death. If heaven is not simply a place we go forever, and hell is not merely a punishment imposed from outside, what is the soul's journey through purification, truth, and love?The conversation begins with the question of whether life without love is already a kind of hell on earth. From there, Patrick and Jonah turn toward near-death experiences, the overwhelming reality of divine love, and the way this love does not simply excuse everything, but reveals everything. In the light of love, all that is not love must be seen, felt, and transformed.Together they explore repentance, purgatory, and the burning process of self-knowledge as gifts of love rather than punishments. At the heart of the episode is the mystery that bliss is not the fullness of love, but can serve love's fulfillment: the free choice to enter suffering, sacrifice, and earthly life for the sake of blessing another.Ask us a question here!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their exploration of heaven and hell by turning toward a surprising image: the false paradise. Beginning with Christ's words to the criminal on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise,” they ask what true paradise is, and how it differs from a pleasant, controlled, painless world that avoids the cross.The conversation explores the danger of a light that carries a lie within it: a vision of perfection without love, truth without compassion, and utopia built by force. Patrick and Jonah name this as one of the subtler forms of hell, a darkness that masquerades as light and promises peace by eliminating whatever does not fit its vision.Against this false paradise, they point toward the true paradise opened by Christ: the path of compassion, patient endurance, sacrificial love, and the willingness to suffer with others rather than harden the heart. At the heart of the episode is the mystery that heaven is not built by escaping the cross, but by entering the love that passes through death into resurrection.Ask us a question here!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah turn from the mystery of heaven toward the mystery of hell. Beginning again with Christ's words in John 8, “I am the light of the world,” they ask what this light means in relation to darkness, death, and the fallen world.The conversation explores biblical images of hell as distance from God: the belly of the beast, the depths of the sea, the dust realm, the pit, and the powers of death that threaten to bind the human soul to what is passing away. Patrick and Jonah consider how Christ enters this realm not by escaping death, but by passing through it, transforming death itself into a servant of life.Together they reflect on Golgotha as the decisive encounter between the light of Christ and the powers of darkness, and on what it means for human beings to remain connected to heaven on earth even in the presence of despair. At the heart of the episode is the Easter mystery: that the place of death can become the very place where new life begins.Ask us a question here!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Mickey Rapier and Robert Cupp continue their series on Heaven and Hell, exploring what Scripture says about death and what comes next.
In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their conversation on heaven and hell by exploring the “three heavens”: the primal heaven from which we come and to which we return in sleep and death, the hidden kingdom of heaven now present on earth through Christ, and the future New Jerusalem toward which creation is moving.Together they ask what it means that Christ is “the Lord of the heavenly forces upon earth,” and why the earth is the place where human freedom, moral responsibility, and sacrificial love can truly awaken. The conversation moves through the mystery of death, near-death experience, the soul's journey, reincarnation, purification, and the ongoing work of becoming human beings who can shine with the light of Christ.At the heart of the episode is the picture that the heaven we often imagine as the final destination is not simply where we go when we die, but the fruit of a long creative process already beginning in us, between us, and on the earth.Ask us a question here!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

In this summer repeat, Patrick and Jonah continue their conversation on the mysteries of heaven and hell by exploring what it means for Christ to be “the Lord of the heavenly forces upon earth.” Beginning with John 8:12 and the image of Christ as the light of the world, they consider the ancient experience of the skies, sun, moon, stars, and seasons as living revelations of divine activity.The conversation moves through Psalm 19, ancient sacred sites aligned with the sun, the Hebrew movement away from worshiping created things, and the Christian understanding that the heavenly forces have come to earth through Christ. Patrick and Jonah reflect on how these forces are no longer simply “out there” in the heavens, but are meant to awaken within human beings as light, wisdom, love, and moral strength.Together they ask how human beings can learn to shine without burning out, how community can become a constellation of light, and how Golgotha becomes not only an event in history, but a living reality within us.Ask us a question here!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Every soul is immortal—but not every immortal soul will spend eternity in heaven. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses a reality many avoid: Scripture teaches both heaven and hell are real, and false teachers increasingly deny these foundational truths. Drawing on C. S. Lewis' reasoning, Dr. Youssef underscores the heart of the issue: God's love is so great that He entered human history, suffered, and died to rescue sinners—yet He does not force salvation on those who refuse His gift. The Bible is clear that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23)—eternal separation from God—yet the Gospel is equally clear: eternal life is offered freely by grace. Revelation describes the eternal consequence for those who reject Christ as “the second death” (Revelation 21:8), but it doesn't end with warning—it extends an open invitation from Jesus Himself: to the thirsty, He gives water without cost from the spring of the water of life, making repentant sinners His children forever (Revelation 21:6–7). This episode calls you to weigh the Truth seriously—and to run to the Savior who alone delivers from judgment and secures everlasting life. Prayer: God, thank You for saving me from hell and to heaven. Grant me courage to share Your Good News with those around me. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28).

Dolfans seeing Heaven and Hell!
Pastor Andrew taught from Revelation 21:1–8 that heaven is the final place of joy, perfection, and the presence of God for those who belong to Christ, while hell is the just judgment for those who reject Him. Through Jesus, God is making all things new and restoring what was broken by sin. The message reminded students that eternity is real, and this life prepares us for the life to come. Those who trust in Christ and endure in faith will be with Him forever.
People say it all the time — "that was heaven" or "that was hell." But what if they're more right than they realize? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld explores the idea that our most glorious and most devastating experiences on earth are foretastes of what is to come. From the beauty of creation to the brutality of suffering, God has purposes in both — and understanding that changes the way we face whatever season we're in.Trusting God in Suffering: One of the obstacles to faith is the problem of pain. Why does a powerful loving God allow suffering? The Scriptures are forthright and do not ignore, diminish or bypass the problem. Nor do they resolve it. But God does tell us how we are to respond to pain. In this 10 message series, Dr. John will explore God's teaching on pain. It will not answer every question, but it will help us in the midst of our struggles.
Heaven and hell spark strong opinions—but most of us may be asking the wrong question entirely. This episode challenges a deeply held assumption that changes everything.Luke 16Romans 10:17#heavenandhell #christianpodcast #faithquestions #truthaboutGod #JesusandLove
William Blake was a poet, artist, and spiritual Yagi antenna, who lived in 18th- and 19th-century England. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (probably written around 1790) is a collection of pictures, poems, aphorisms, and strange prose pieces, all describing Blake's particular religious (that is to say, not Religious) worldview.

“This is the 80's before the 80's was the 80's…” Released April 18, 1980, HEAVEN AND HELL, the 9th studio album by BLACK SABBATH (and the first to feature Ronnie James Dio on vocals), marks a simultaneous sonic departure and rebirth for the Godfathers of Metal. While some would argue that it sounds more like RJD's solo output and NOTHING like the Sabbath of the 70's, HEAVEN AND HELL is more than just “the next Sabbath album”. Featuring fantastical & medieval lyrical themes coupled with a revitalized songwriting style and renewed vigor, HEAVEN AND HELL is a brilliant example of how a band in desperate need of a “heavy metal makeover” can completely reinvent their sound and expand their artistic palette to accommodate a brand-new chapter for a brand-new decade. If you've got questions, we've got answers! Check out our newest segment, “ASK THE METALHEAD”.
