What happens five minutes after you die?
It’s one of the biggest questions humans have ever asked… and one Christians often answer very differently.
In this episode of myPodQuest, Pastor Kip sits down with Pastor Sean Murphy to explore why the apostles consistently emphasized resurrection, the return of Jesus, and the language of “sleep” when speaking about death.
Why did Jesus say Lazarus was sleeping?Why was resurrection so central to early Christianity?And have modern assumptions about the immortal soul slowly overshadowed the biblical hope of resurrection and restoration?
This is not an argument-driven episode.It’s an honest, thoughtful, Scripture-centered conversation about:
death and resurrection
the comfort of Christ’s return
the meaning of “sleep” in the Bible
God’s character and love
and why these questions matter deeply to grieving hearts
Along the way there are a few maple bar moments, thoughtful reflections, and a reminder that faith should never fear sincere questions.
Next episode:We continue the discussion by diving into spirit, soul, immortality, and the difficult verses often debated in Christian theology.
So grab a Bible…maybe a fresh donut…and join the conversation.

What did Jesus actually mean when He talked about hell?
In Part 3 of this ongoing series, Pastor Kip explores the biblical language surrounding destruction, Gehenna, immortality, and eternal punishment — asking whether Scripture teaches eternal conscious torment or something different entirely.
This episode is not about attacking people or demanding agreement. It’s an honest, careful look at what the Bible says in context and through the lens of the character of Jesus.
Together we wrestle with questions like:
What does the word “perish” really mean?
Why does Jesus contrast eternal life with destruction?
What was Gehenna?
Does the Bible teach that humans are naturally immortal?
What’s the difference between eternal punishment and eternal punishing?
Along the way we explore Scripture, history, theology, Greek philosophy, and the emotional tension many people feel when trying to reconcile the love of God with the traditional doctrine of hell.
This is not fear-driven theology.
It’s an invitation to slow down, think deeply, and let Scripture speak for itself.
So grab your coffee…grab your maple bar…and let’s ask difficult questions together.
