Dying, Death & the Christian Hope

What happens when we die? It’s a question our culture often avoids—and one many Christians feel unsure how to approach. But Scripture gives us clarity, hope, and a reason not to fear.

In this episode, Pastors John, Drew, Matt, and Luke tackle the topic of death head-on. From funerals vs. celebrations of life, to burial vs. cremation, to questions of Christian liberty—this conversation explores how believers can think biblically and faithfully about end-of-life decisions. Most importantly, we reflect on the hope Christians have in the resurrection and the victory of Christ over the grave.
