In this conversation, Jay Holland and Jordan Raynor discuss the themes of heaven, purpose, and stewardship as presented in Raynor’s book, ‘The Royal in You.’ They explore the misconceptions surrounding heaven, emphasizing a biblical perspective that highlights the new earth and the role of work as worship. The discussion also touches on how understanding these concepts can inspire greater hope, motivation to share faith, and a purposeful life in the present.
