In this clip Randy explains to Greg Laurie why he invites kids to have their parents take them on an excursion to the junk yard? He answers: Why does investing in eternity matter? Why should Christians be generous in this life?

In this clip from his conversation with Greg Laurie, Randy answers the questions: What is Heaven? Where is Heaven? Most importantly, how do we get to Heaven?

In this clip Randy and Greg Laurie discuss the question "How do we train young minds to see Heaven as real? Will this book help kids understand that Heaven is real?"

Randy visited Liberty University, where he had a conversation with Campus Pastor Jonathan Falwell at the school’s convocation service. They spoke about Randy’s books, Nanci’s passing, and many things about Heaven.

Randy Alcorn and Greg Laurie (senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship) had a conversation about Randy’s book Heaven for Kids. They talk about everything from whether Heaven will be boring, to training young minds about Heaven, to hamburgers. Don’t miss this fun discussion!

Over the years, the most popular character in my novel Deadline has been a Down syndrome boy named Little Finn. He also appears in my novel Dominion. In Deadline, I also portray another Down syndrome child teaching people in Heaven, with a startling depth of insight. Here’s that scene from the novel, when the character Finney encounters this remarkable young teacher.

An inspirational moment with Randy Alcorn talking about Heaven and our treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-20). This video is from Session 2 of Randy's video Bible Study on Heaven produced by Lifetogether and Lamplighter Media, now out of print.

Whether our hearts are heavy or light, whether recent days have brought us joy or sorrow or both, there is something soul stirring about contemplating what God has promised us and what Christ shed His blood and rose to guarantee us—eternal life with Him and His people in a land of never-ending wonder.

During a spectacular meteor shower years ago, I stood on our deck watching a clear sky. Part of the fun was hearing oohs and aahs in the distance, from neighbors looking upward. Multiply these oohs and aahs by ten thousand times ten thousand, and it’ll suggest our thunderous response to what our Father will do in the new heavens as we look upward from the New Earth.

Earlier this month, I visited First Baptist of Leesburg, Florida and spoke at their weekend services. I also did an evening Q&A with Pastor Cliff, and we covered a range of topics and questions. The ministries on that church campus are remarkable!

When I taught a theology of Heaven class, I was asked, “How accessible will Jesus be to us on the New Earth?” On the one hand, Jesus is a man, and man is finite and limited to one location. On the other hand, Jesus is God, and God is infinite and omnipresent.  

During Randy’s visit to First Baptist Church in Leesburg Florida, he spoke with Pastor Cliff Lea in a question-and-answer session. They talk about grief, Heaven, if we can know when the Lord is going to return, and more.

“To die will be an awfully big adventure,” says Peter Pan. But it will be a wonderful, big adventure only for those who are covered by the blood of Christ. Those who die without Jesus will experience a horrifying tragedy. Of course, dying is not the real adventure. Death is merely the doorway to eternal life. 

I always enjoy anytime I get to have a conversation with Sean McDowell, who teaches at Biola/Talbot and has a very engaging and helpful YouTube channel on apologetics. Sean and I did another Q&A on Heaven recently, with some different questions and answers.
