Welcome to the first episode in the new series: "So Glad You Asked"

In this series, I plan to dive into those tricky Bible passages and life dilemmas that make you scratch your head and wonder, "What does this really mean?"

Ever been curious about what happens after we die? You’re not alone! Today, we’re tackling a fascinating question about the apparent contradiction between 1 Thessalonians 4 and 2 Corinthians 5. Do the dead in Christ rise first, or are they already present with the Lord?

Grab your Bible, and let's get into it.

This episode and the SGYA series is that it will benefit anyone eager to deepen their understanding of Scripture, especially those who wrestle with challenging or seemingly contradictory Bible passages. I intend for it to support believers committed to thinking biblically and engaging more thoughtfully with God’s Word. I also hope it serves as a valuable resource for small group leaders, Bible study participants, and anyone seeking clarity on complex doctrinal issues.
