For every American polled who thinks they are going to Hell, there are 120 who think they’re going to Heaven. Author Randy Alcorn explains that Heaven isn’t our “default destination” and that specific preparation must be made if we are to safely arrive in Heaven.

The biggest mistake in studying this issue is selecting those passages that most fit with what a person already believes. We should study the “whole counsel of God,” not ignoring or twisting or interpreting away those passages that challenge our position. 

Randy Alcorn was on the Do Hard Things podcast with The Rebelution to talk about the hope we have in Heaven (and what Heaven is really going to be like). He shared how this hope has sustained him through his own season of loss and suffering.
