This is an incredibly important topic and one where there is a lot of confusion even among people who believe in God, especially regarding what people believed in the Old Testament. Many say that people in the Old Testament didn’t believe in an afterlife or if they did that it was very vague.

Do take time to listen, as this podcast will encourage you and give you peace and hope about the assurance of the bodily resurrection.
