STT 077 - Will You Have a New Body the Moment You Die (HC LD 22, QA 57-58)?

Author: Jonathan Shirk June 2, 2022 Duration: 8:55

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY WORSHIP: (1) Should we be ashamed as Christians that we don't know everything about God or the Bible and that we must continue to grow in knowledge? (2) What happens to your body when you die? Your soul? (3) Do you think your soul will be in perfect blessedness and joy in the presence of Jesus when considering your body will still be dead? (4) What does the resurrection of the body say about heaven (think new heaven and new earth)? 


You'll find Small Town Theologian emerging from an unlikely studio: Rev. Jonathan Shirk's walk-in closet. There's a grounded, unvarnished quality to these conversations that feels like a direct reflection of that humble setting. Each episode is deliberately crafted to fit within a ten-minute window, offering a focused moment of clarity amid a busy day. The approach is consistently biblical and rooted in a confessional Reformed perspective, but the aim is deeply practical. Jonathan draws on these theological foundations to address the real and often messy challenges that families and individuals face, seeking to translate ancient truths into present comfort and guidance. This isn't about abstract lectures; it's about applying enduring gospel truths to the complexities of modern life. The result is a podcast that feels both thoughtful and accessible, a brief respite that offers substance without demanding a huge investment of time. You can expect each compact session to deliver a clear, comforting thought to carry with you, making profound concepts feel approachable and immediately relevant. It's a quiet space for reflection built from the ground up in a small town.
