The Intermediate State: What Happens After We Die?

Brian and Ryan have a conversation about a question many people wrestle with: what happens after we die? They acknowledge that it’s a heavy topic, especially for those grieving loved ones, and discuss common ideas about the afterlife—like the belief that the dead watch over us or reunite with family in another realm. While these ideas can be comforting, they question whether they align with what the Bible actually says. Looking at scripture, they point out that the New Testament often describes death as “sleep,” suggesting a temporary state rather than a permanent end. They highlight the emphasis on resurrection, explaining that, for believers, death isn’t the final stop but a step toward being raised and glorified in God’s presence.
