Randy Alcorn was interviewed on The Call to Mastery with Jordan Raynor about his book Heaven. In this audio clip, Randy talks about some common misunderstanding about Heaven and the New Earth.  

In 2021 Randy was interviewed on The Call to Mastery podcast with Jordan Raynor. In their conversation, which centers around Randy's book Heaven, they discuss the difference between Heaven and the New Earth, how to prioritize your time, hope in the midst of cancer and more.

I understand the reason for distinguishing between the Intermediate or Present Heaven and the New Earth. But if Jesus referred to it as Paradise (and you do mention this, but only in passing), why not refer to the Present Heaven that way?
