Former punk-rock, self-loathing, self-harmer, now a minister of the gospel and leader at one of the most influential Christian ministries in America; and it all started when a stranger handed her a CD, strongly encouraging her to give it a listen. While listening, the ensuing healing and transformation brought to her by the Holy Spirit would drastically change the trajectory of her life and vastly increase the amount of hope in her heart.

Pastor Brian Zahnd sits down with host Joey Svendsen and podcast regular Jack Hoey, to talk about heaven and how it should inform a Christian’s perspective on life.

In this conversation, Joey, Jack, and Brian discuss what heaven actually is, whether people continue to learn and grow there, why heaven won’t be boring despite being eternal, and how a proper understanding of heaven will radically change everything, including how one engages in prayer, politics, and daily living.
