About this listen

Most people think they want to go to Heaven. But do they really?

Ask around and you’ll hear the same answers:
“He’s in a better place.”
“We’ll all be together again someday.”
“I just hope I’ve been good enough.”

But what if Heaven isn’t what we imagine?
What if the real Heaven—the one Scripture describes—is less about comfort and more about God Himself?
And what if that makes Heaven unbearable for those who never wanted God in the first place?

In Rethinking Heaven, Bible teacher and storyteller Josh Hunt challenges everything we thought we knew about the afterlife. With insight from thinkers like C.S. Lewis, Dallas Willard, Tim Keller, and John Ortberg, this book strips away the sentimental myths and digs deep into what Scripture actually says.

You’ll discover:

  • Why good people don’t go to Heaven—and who does

  • What makes God’s presence both beautiful and terrifying

  • Why Hell isn’t just punishment—it’s mercy for those who wouldn’t love Heaven

  • How our deepest longings are really homesickness for God

  • What it means to be “born again” in a way that makes Heaven feel like home

This book isn’t just about where you go when you die. It’s about who you are becoming now—and whether your heart is being shaped for the place where God is front and center, undiluted, and unavoidable.

Rethinking Heaven is raw, thoughtful, and deeply hopeful. It’s for the curious, the questioning, the church-weary, and the long-time believer who secretly wonders, “Is there more to this?”

Because Heaven isn’t a spiritual retirement home.
It’s a kingdom.
It’s a throne room.
It’s a feast.
And it’s for those who want God more than they want anything else.
