Ep 052: What Happens After We Die? Heaven, Sleep, and Purgatory

What actually happens when a Christian dies? Do we go to heaven immediately or are we asleep until the resurrection? And what about purgatory? In this episode, we walk through key biblical passages that are often misunderstood or seem to contradict one another. We talk about Jesus’ promise to the thief on the cross, what it means when Scripture says the dead in Christ will rise first, and where the idea of purgatory comes from. This episode is meant to bring clarity, biblical confidence, and hope about death, resurrection, and eternal life without fear or confusion.
