Summary

Author, speaker, and podcaster Jordan Raynor joins Blake to discuss his children's picture book, The Royal in You. The conversation begins with an exploration of Raynor’s personal journey and misconceptions about heaven, which led him to write this book. He explains that many Christians dread eternity due to false teachings about heaven being a place of endless worship without purpose. Jordan emphasizes the biblical vision of heaven as a renewed earth, where we will work, create, and reign alongside Jesus. The conversation dives into how understanding this changes our present lives, giving greater purpose to daily tasks and helping us experience glimpses of heaven here on earth. In this episode, you’ll be able to… Understand the biblical perspective of heaven and the new earth based on scripture. Explore how our view of eternity shapes how we engage with culture and the world today. Gain insights on how to live with an eternal perspective that influences your daily life and decisions. Jordan is the author of The Royal in You - available everywhere on October 22, 2024!
