BRIAN ZAHND / UNION, PILGRIMAGE, & UNSEEN EXISTENCES
The Gospel Is Better Than You've Been Told: Union, Pilgrimage, and Unseen Existences
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
This is one of those conversations that reminds you the gospel is so much better than we’ve been told.
