How We Get to Heaven

This episode focuses on an excerpt from Jesus Farewell Discourse in the Gospel of John . We'll consider what Jesus meant when he told his disciples that there are many "mansions" in His Father's house, and how our fantasies about Heaven may distort our understanding of the Kingdom of God.

I Have Seen the Lord

Easter Sunday has arrived! The resurrected Jesus has begun to appear to his friends, but they seem more confused than joyful, at least at first.

What Heaven Saw

Easter has arrived and, as is our custom in the Episcopal Church, we can joyfully say "Alleluia! Christ is risen!" But today I'd like to share some thoughts about what Heaven when Jesus was crucified, and what that might tell us about our loving Father and the Holy Spirit.
