Summary
Most of us have been taught to make peace with death: The circle of life. A natural part of things. Even well-meaning Christians sometimes shrug at the grave, "They're in a better place, so I shouldn't be sad." But what if this instinct to soften death actually robs us of something important? Scripture calls death an enemy, one that God himself wept over, one that steals not just a final breath, but everything that was supposed to flourish before that moment. And yet Scripture also speaks of God wielding death, of the angel of death in Exodus, of death being cast into the lake of fire. How do we hold those things together? Wes and Marcus wrestle with one of the most heart-wrenching tensions in all of Scripture and what it means for how we grieve, hope, and live. This is a public episode.
