Why None of You Will Be in Heaven

In this episode, Dan discusses the concept of detachment and purgation as prerequisites for entering heaven. He explains that detachment means seeing everything in life as a gift that is temporary and on loan from God. By detaching from worldly attachments, we can experience more joy and freedom. Purgation, on the other hand, involves saying no to ourselves and denying our selfish desires in order to say yes to God. Through purgation, we can remove our self-centeredness and experience a fuller life. GO TO ⁠heartsrenewed.org⁠ and use CODE RENEW1 to try the whole marriage program for $1 for the first 7 days.
