Most Christian men have a fuzzier picture of the Kingdom than they do of their next vacation. Clouds. Harps. Maybe endless singing. But Jesus talked about the Kingdom over 100 times and what He described looks nothing like that.
The prophets describe cities. Governance. Land and property. Work that actually lasts. And Revelation says we'll reign forever. Not floating around with equal status, but actually reigning. With varying levels of responsibility based on something that happens now.
In this episode, I dig into what Scripture actually says about the age to come and why your daily grind as a father and husband might be training for something far bigger than you realized.
