I am fascinated by all these stories! They are amazing and I can actually picture Heaven.
It’s awesome to hear all the different perspectives and I appreciate how you organize them and vet them with the Bible.

I have to say Thank You for this!!! Listening to these stories is helping me feel Jesus love in a new way! Thank you, thank you!!
AshleyannCR · Apr 2025
Listening to your podcast is not just helping me better understand the scriptures, how most of what Jesus said was either quoting Old Testament or telling literal truth about the heaven but also renewed my view of the world around me because now everyone I meet (those I know or just meeting/passing by) I think to myself I might see them in heaven, we are all built for eternity, hard to describe in words, have a sense to be more kind, to be more present, to be more loving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and learnings.

Listening to your podcast has truly changed my thinking. It’s made me feel a sense of peace, hope, and joy that I haven’t felt in a long time. Thank you for your work and for sharing this.
