Something in us knows this world isn’t the end. We feel it at funerals, in the chaos of the headlines, and in the quiet moments when we wonder, is there more than this? The early believers in Thessalonica wrestled with the same questions—watching their friends die for their faith, wondering what came next. Paul writes to them—and to us—to say: there is hope beyond the grave. Because Jesus died and rose again, death doesn’t get the final word. Our story ends not in loss, but in life—resurrection life.
And the best part? It’s closer than you think. Scripture says a day is coming when the sky will split open, the trumpet will sound, and the King will return. Evil will be crushed, creation restored, and those who belong to Christ will rise to meet Him. That reality changes how we live now. It means we can face grief with hope, urgency with purpose, and a broken world with unshakable confidence. Tune in as we look at the signs, the promises, and the glorious return of Jesus—and discover why The End isn’t something to fear, but something to long for.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
