In this fifth episode of the Heaven series on the City Rev Life Podcast, Pastor Robey Barnes and host Craig Stephens tackle some of the most common and misunderstood questions about what happens when we die. Drawing from passages like Philippians 1:23, Acts 7, and the words of Jesus to the thief on the cross, they unpack why Scripture teaches that believers enter immediately into the presence of Christ—not into soul sleep or purgatory. They explore what the Bible reveals about the intermediate state, the resurrected body, and how our identity endures in eternity. Along the way, they contrast cultural expectations of happiness with the deeper hope found in Christ, reminding listeners that this life is not heaven—it’s preparation for it. Ultimately, they call believers to live with an eternal mindset, anchored in joy, hope, and a missionary purpose.
