What does the Bible really teach about life after death? Are we destined to float forever as souls—or to walk again in glorified, resurrected bodies? In this powerful episode of the Gospel Gumbo Podcast, we explore what it means to say: “I believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.”

Drawing from Scripture (1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 21, Isaiah 65, Philippians 1), theology, and pastoral wisdom, we reflect on the bodily resurrection of Jesus and how it guarantees our future. You’ll hear:

·      Why Christian hope is not disembodied escape but physical transformation

·      The difference between “heaven now” and “life everlasting” in the new creation

·      Why Jesus’ resurrected body is the model for our own

·      How resurrection shapes how we treat the aging, the disabled, and the dying

·      What the Bible says about the final victory over death

·      Why your body—and everyone else’s—matters eternally

With vivid imagery, theological clarity, and real-life resonance, this episode reminds us: You will rise. And it won’t be as a ghost—it’ll be in a glorified body, whole and indestructible, in the renewed creation where God wipes away every tear.
