16 Questions about Heaven and the New Earth - Blog - Eternal Perspective Ministries

I always enjoy anytime I get to have a conversation with Sean McDowell, who teaches at Biola/Talbot and has a very engaging and helpful YouTube channel on apologetics. Sean and I did another Q&A on Heaven recently, with some different questions and answers.

  1. How did your belief in Heaven frame your loss of your wife? (1:00)
  2. How do you deal with doubt? (3:31)
  3. What gives you hope? (6:02)
  4. Is Heaven real? (8:26)
  5. How will Heaven be exciting if there’s no risk? (13:25)
  6. Are there animals in Heaven? (16:40)
  7. How about our pets? (20:15)
  8. How can we enjoy Heaven if some of our loved ones are not there? (22:53)
  9. Can people sin in Heaven? (26:53)
  10. Will there be external temptation? (29:50)
  11. Are there sports in Heaven? (34:12)
  12. Will we eat and drink in Heaven? (38:00)
  13. Will we be able to fly? (41:02)
  14. How will our bodies be similar/different in the eternal Heaven? (45:06)
  15. How old will we be in Heaven? (48:30)
  16. How do eternal rewards work?  (51:12)

Sean kindly mentioned my book The Promise of the New Earth, which combines teaching about Heaven, with beautiful photography. It’s available from our online store and from Amazon.

    An Inspired Challenge for Wives This Father's Day - Today Can Be Different

    Consider asking your husband how you can pray for him each day. (If the father of your children doesn’t live with you, for whatever reason, remember to put him on your prayer list too.) Your husband wants nothing more than to succeed, but he probably struggles with issues he’s afraid to admit, even to himself. He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.
