In this episode, Tom Wright and Mike Bird field three big listener questions that touch the heart of Christian hope and daily discipleship.First, they explore what happens when we die — where do our loved ones go before the final resurrection? Tom explains what Scripture actually says (and doesn’t say) about “souls,” “heaven,” and “waiting rooms for the dead,” and why our hope is not escape from earth but the renewal of creation itself.Next, they reflect on whether we will know everything in the new creation, and how knowledge, love, and transformation intertwine in God’s future.Finally, they turn to biblical budgeting, asking how Christians in affluent societies can honour God with their money without being ruled by it.It’s an episode that spans heaven and earth; we hope you'll find this a dive into theology, that's thoughtful, practical, and full of hope.Chapters:00:00 – Where Do Dead Souls Go?11:24 – Will We Be Perfect in the New Creation?22:57 – How Should Christians Budget Biblically?Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?
