In this episode, Haley and Dustin sit down with Matt McCullough, pastor of Edgefield Church in Nashville and author of Remember Heaven (releasing May 2025).
Matt shares insights from his first book, Remember Death, and how reflecting on death can be a path to deepening our hope in Christ. He discusses why we don’t like thinking about death, but also why it’s vital for our spiritual growth and identity. Matt also shares insights on his upcoming book and how reflecting on heaven and the afterlife can benefit our lives today.
Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.
So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life. Because hope means everything.
