Will we recognize people in Heaven? Will my pets be there? Will I remember my life?

In this episode, host Kristin Nave welcomes pastor and best-selling author Randy Alcorn to discuss insights on the Biblical teaching about heaven and eternal life, gleaned from over 40 years of research and study. Together, they explore the theology of resurrection, the physicality of heaven, and common misconceptions about the afterlife.
