About this episode

Jason Clark interviews Brian Zahnd about his book 'Unseen Existences' and the implications of a closer understanding of heaven.

What if heaven isn't a distant destination — but a different dimension that's closer than we think? In this conversation, Jason sits down with theologian, pastor, and author Brian Zahnd to explore his new book Unseen Existences — and what it means to recover a vision of transcendence in a world flattened by consumerism, politics, and pragmatism. We talk about why losing sight of heaven turns Christianity into partisan politics. The pilgrimage of the soul — and why nothing real happens fast. What Jesus weeping at Lazarus's tomb tells us about God's co-suffering with us. The prayer Brian prayed on June 4th, 2000 that changed everything. The censored chapter his publisher wouldn't let him include — and where you can find it. Judas, Lazarus, universal hope, and the long arc of love Unseen Existences, which releases May 19th — Pre-order available now at brianzahnd.com Check out Brian's Substack: brianzahnd.substack.com JOIN our RGWT Subscriber-Based Community: https://promo.fourriversmedia.com/rethinking-god-with-tacos/ JOIN A Family Story's Mailing List https://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wto JOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at…
