In our society many people look to cosmetic surgeries, implants, and other methods to remodel and renovate our crumbling bodies. We hold to youthfulness with a white-knuckled grip. Ultimately, it’s all in vain. But the gospel promises us eternal youthfulness, health, beauty, and happiness in the presence of our God and our spiritual family. It’s not ours now—but it will be, in the resurrection of the dead.

Randy was interviewed on the For the Gospel Podcast with Costi Hinn. In this clip, Randy answers the question, “Will we know everything and have perfect abilities in Heaven, or will we learn and grow in our abilities?”

Randy was interviewed on the For the Gospel Podcast with Costi Hinn. In this clip, Randy talks about some of the exciting things we have to look forward to in Heaven.

In December 2020, Randy was interviewed by Costi Hinn and Reagan Rose on the For the Gospel Podcast. Randy shares about his early ministry years and how Eternal Perspective Ministries got it's start. They go on to discuss Heaven, the gospel, and how Christians can maintain an eternal perspective in the midst of today's chaotic culture. 

Meditate on these profound words from Scripture: “There shall no longer be any curse” (Revelation 22:3). The hope, the promise, the anticipation of this verse is inexpressible— it is weighty, thick with promise and joy.

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.

All of us form attachments. All of us have a place we call home. The question is, do we think and live as if this world, or the next world, is our home? Are our minds on Earth or Heaven? 

Strangely, though Jesus in His resurrected body proclaimed, “I am not a ghost” (Luke 24:39, NLT), countless Christians think they will be ghosts in the eternal Heaven. The magnificent, cosmos-shaking victory of Christ’s resurrection—by definition a physical triumph over physical death in a physical world—escapes them.

In this video, Randy encourages us to think about when the Curse is no more. What things will be absent on the New Earth? What things will be present forever more? How should this influence our thinking today?

In this video, Randy speaks about looking forward to our resurrected bodies, which will never pass their peaks.

In this video, Randy speaks about the ZTV series The Chosen and envisions what it will be like for us to walk with Jesus on the earth just as the disciples did.

In this video, Randy explains what the Bible says from Genesis and Revelation about God walking on the earth, with us.

It might be helpful to explore deeper into why you feel afraid to meet Jesus. Is there fear that Jesus will reject you? Do you wonder if He won’t welcome you? That seeing Him will be frightening somehow?
