What happens when we die, and what is eternal life? The Rev. James Huenink (Pastor of First Lutheran Church in El Cajon, CA) joins Andy and Sarah for Episode 8 of our “Prepared with a Reason” series to talk about some worldly visions of the human’s purpose and what happens after or in death, the ideas of ongoing progression and material despair, where we see these assumptions in our culture, how Christians can respond to these worldviews faithfully, and what Pastor Huenink finds particularly interesting about this topic.
