Who is the Holy Spirit—and how does He work in the life of a Christian today?

In this episode of the Simply Christian Podcast, Casey, Michael, and David explore what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit as a divine Person, not merely a force or feeling. They discuss the meaning of “the gift of the Holy Spirit” in Acts 2:38, the Spirit’s personal indwelling, and how He leads believers through the Word of God rather than through subjective experiences.

The conversation also addresses the purpose of miraculous gifts in the first century and the Spirit’s continuing work today—producing the fruit of the Spirit and shaping believers into the image of Christ.

Join us as we rediscover the Spirit as our Comforter, our guarantee of salvation, and God’s presence within His people.

No Creeds, No Confusion, Just Christ

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to the Simply Christian Podcast. No creeds, no confusion, just Christ. Hey guys, welcome back to the Simply Christian Podcast. Today we're entering we're duh yeah. That's what we're doing. We're doing it. Y'all, we're a bunch of knuckleheads.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, yes, we are. We're leaving that in too.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Might as well.

SPEAKER_02

Go roll with it, baby.

SPEAKER_00

Let's roll with it.

SPEAKER_02

We're ending the we're in, we're we're he's not he's not good at English, folks, today. Um he's really struggling here. But but we're nearing. See what had happened was.

SPEAKER_00

I got a speech impeachment. My voice got voted out of office.

SPEAKER_01

Sorry.

SPEAKER_00

That's all that fish you just say. Yeah, I know that. Uh I'm sorry, that wasn't PC either. It wasn't. But now we will cover this up. Yeah. No, we're gonna leave it in. Bonus content. No, we're uh we're ending season one, not necessarily today, but we're drawing near to the end of season one, right? Yep. We we've only got a few more things to discuss, and one of those, I I'm just gonna all out kick a hornet's nest. Can I do that? Yeah, go for it. We're gonna do it whether we say yes. Whether we want you to or not. Might as well go for it. Hey, we had a fish fry here at the church building at Rustin Church of Christ, and had the our joy group got together, and we had a bunch of people and that we got to see and fellowship with, ate some fish, and and now I'm excited. Yeah. Because I ate fish and I got my belly full of good, good, good fried fish. And and uh it just gave me all kinds of energy.

SPEAKER_01

If you ever want to make Casey happy, that's all you gotta do is the fish fried fried cabbages.

SPEAKER_00

There you go. Take me fishing, give me a fishing lure, give me a fishing rod.

SPEAKER_01

You're a simple man, and this is the simply question. Fish hooks. Simple things for simple men.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, even my Lord and Savior ate fish. That's right. That's the first meal that that we that we actually have recorded of him eating after his resurrection was fish. He was right there on the side of the lake. And his disciples looked up and were like, Who is this dude? Oh, that's Jesus. Yeah. Peter threw his clothes out. We're hungry. Yep. You you just had to say that, didn't you?

SPEAKER_01

It's the truth. That's the truth. Well, it's true. The Bible records the good and the bad.

SPEAKER_00

That's right. That's true. That's right. That's right. All right. So totally. That was a squirrel moment. Yeah. The Hornets Nest. Go back to the Hornets. Yes, let's kick the Hornets Nest. All right, so guys, we've talked about the Father's plan. We've talked about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. And I want to talk today about, quite frankly, the forgotten God. Many Christians do not even discuss the Holy Spirit, talk about the Holy Spirit, unless they're arguing over his operation or indwelling or whatever. Yeah. And so I'm going to kick the hornet's nest. Yeah. And I'm going to say that's something we need to discuss.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, he's he's most definitely the most misunderstood. Absolutely. Absolutely. No doubt, you know.

SPEAKER_00

And probably no better place to start than Michael, can you answer this question for us?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, shoot.

SPEAKER_00

Why is it so easy to refer to the Holy Spirit as an it, not a he?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, man. It it um it is easy to do. You know, I was telling y'all before we hit record. Uh when I was teaching, I first started teaching, I was teaching the adult class. Uh well, I wasn't that's not when I first started teaching. Let me back up so people don't say, wait a minute, you didn't know nothing and used to teach in the adult class. When I first started teaching the adult class, we can't be eating fried fish. Dude, we cannot anymore. Anyways, I was teaching and we were talking about the Holy Spirit, and I referred to him as an it. And and it was just, you know, I just kept rolling with it and kept going with it, kept going with it, and and nobody said a word. Everybody let class get through, and and and my dad, he he come back here and he said, um, by the way, son, um, he's a he, not an it. And I said, Huh? What are you talking about? You know, and he's like, he's a he and not an it. The Holy Spirit is a he, not an it. We we think of him as this almost like this ghost, you know, this this this thing, instead of thinking of him as an as an actual person. And and so when we look at the language that's used, you know, a lot of times, words like pour out or or fire or or things like that, the Holy Spirit, he has a mind, he has a will, he has emotions. He he can be grieved. Ephesians 4 30 says, do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. He is the third person of the Godhead. He is co-equal to to God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. He is a he, he's not an it. And we have to be really careful that we don't refer to him as an it.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. And I think many times in the church we have this idea of big God, little son, yeah, and somehow there's this Holy Ghost in the middle of all that. Right. Yeah, yep. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

Yep, and that's in the church, we've got to be careful with this because it's vital. We have to avoid the extremisms of emotionalism. You know, I I don't want to be so emotional and say that the Holy Spirit did this, or the Holy Spirit did that, or you know, run up and down like some of our friends do. Uh, but we also don't want to be the cold and textual intellectualism. I can't talk either, Casey. Don't feel bad. The cold intellectualism intellectualism. I think we should have just taken a nap first. On the other side, okay. We need to see the spirit. We need to see how he works, we need to see why he works and what's going on in the life of a believer today.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Um, Acts chapter two, I I think is is vital uh to understand. And listen, the reason why I said I'm gonna kick a hornet's nest is because I know brethren that have nothing to do with one another because they do not agree on what the gift of the Holy Spirit is that Peter talked about in Acts 2 38. Right. And and let me say this for for the most part, I think even if we do not necessarily agree, we can still be in fellowship one with another. And I think the the key to that is that we do not take it to an extreme where we hold something that is completely unbiblical. And and if we do not do that, it doesn't matter if we believe the gift is salvation, if we believe that's the fruit of the Spirit or the knowledge of the Word or uh salvation through Jesus Christ Himself or the receipt of Jesus being in him and he in us. Yeah. You know, and and so those things are are vital, I think, to understand. But in Acts 238, Peter does promise two things that's vital to know and understand. Uh one is the remission of sin, and the second is the gift of the Holy Spirit. David, is that spirit, is that that giving uh a gift of the Holy Spirit, from the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit itself himself. See, I almost said it there too. There you go. And so it's so easy to do. Yeah. But or is is this gift the Holy Spirit Himself?

SPEAKER_01

Well, it's you know, it's like you said earlier, uh, there are a lot of different interpretations and ideas about what this verse means. Um I personally, as we talked about earlier, I struggle with the idea that the gift is the Spirit Himself because why would you give a gift of the Holy Spirit and then that gift be the Holy Spirit? Um it seems to me the gift that has to be given is the knowledge in which we can have and we can attain through the word through the spirit. Right.

SPEAKER_00

And I think it's vital that we understand that without that knowledge, we cannot have Christ in us, nor are we in Christ. Right? Romans 6 and verse 3 tells us that as many of you as were baptized into Christ, were baptized into his death. Paul also wrote to the brethren in Galatians, uh in Galatians uh chapter uh three uh verse 27, uh something very, very similar when he said, as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. And so the only way that we are in Christ and Christ is in us is when we are in his word and we receive that knowledge. And it's through that knowledge that we gain the fruits of the Spirit, which are then evidence, evidence of the fact that we are in the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is in us because we are in His Word.

SPEAKER_02

That's exactly right. You know, and and I think it's important that we maybe kind of go back to the Bible, like we do with everything in this, but because people have this idea about how he operates, how he dwells within us, right? And they look to the scripture and and and they say, well, this says this and this says this, but you have to look at the whole picture.

SPEAKER_01

Context.

SPEAKER_02

Context matters, right? We know Acts 2.38, he says, repent and be baptized, every one of you. Um in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Who's he talking to there? He's talking to a whole bunch of folks on the day of Pentecost, right? So those that obeyed, did they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit? Yes, absolutely. Now, the way that they got it is different than the way people want to try to think that they get it today, right? And so you can even see that like in Acts chapter 8, right? So starting there in um verse 14, there in Acts chapter 8, it says, Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God. So what does he mean there when he says have received the word of God? They they had obeyed, right? Okay. They send Peter and John to them. That's the rest of the verse. Verse 4 15, who when they had come down prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet he had fallen upon none of them, they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. That is a whole different ball of wax when we look at how the the Holy Spirit, how he operated and how he operates now.

SPEAKER_01

That's the Holy Spirit, that's not the gift of the Holy Spirit. That's not the gift of the Holy Spirit.

SPEAKER_02

The point I'm trying to make in all of that is people want to talk about this indwelling of the Holy Spirit today as in it's that instead of the gift of the Holy Spirit. And I think it's important that we we we differentiate the two.

SPEAKER_01

They look at Cornelius. Right. Oh, well, look what happened with him.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

They look at the apostles, look at what they could do. That's that's what I want. That's and it's well, it's the exact same thing with Simon the Sorcerer. He saw what the Holy Spirit could do and he said, I want that. I want that. That's right. I want to buy it. And that's what people that is what people do today.

SPEAKER_02

I have heard people say so many times, and and and those that are in just the religious world in general. They talk about what the Holy Spirit has done to them and to their kids and and all these different things, and they're explaining these things, and it and it's not even remotely how he even operated back then. You know, um people have this flawed understanding of how he dwells in us and how he operates today. And I think that that's so important. That's why we're doing this episode.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02

You know, it this is not an easy topic to talk about. No, it's not. And it can get very confusing, but it's so important that we cover it.

SPEAKER_00

I think it's also necessary to say that that just because we say it doesn't make it 100% accurate. Search the scriptures for yourself.

SPEAKER_02

What he's saying is, is don't take our word for it. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

Do not take our word for it. We want we want you to study. I would rather you come to your own conclusion. That's exactly right. And I'd rather you say, Casey, I believe in a personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and I believe this if it's something that you have read and studied yourself and you have reached that conclusion. That's right. As long as you have a heart that will continue to study. Yeah. I would rather you have a misunderstanding, a misconception of scripture that you have read and studied yourself rather than regurgitating truth that someone else told you.

SPEAKER_02

That's right.

SPEAKER_00

Why? Because that is your faith, not a regurgitation of that faith. That's right. And so I I think it's vital that that we make make people aware that maybe you don't agree with with our position in this, and that's okay, just as we said a moment ago. This yes, we're probably going to kick a hornet's nest for a lot of people. You might be driving in your car right now going, I can't believe the scripture says here, here, here, and here. And that's okay. We want you to study. That's our main goal. That's right. Right? Is to get our brethren, get believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_02

I I want I would challenge just though our listeners that are that maybe this is kicking the hornet's nest, maybe you're in the car, maybe you're yelling at the phone, maybe you're saying these guys are idiots, they don't know what they're talking about, you're mad, you're saying, you know, the Holy Spirit does this and this and this and this and this and this. He does all of these things in my life. I would challenge you to read 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Oh, yeah. I would challenge you to really read 1 Corinthians 13 and really study and see what Paul is talking about there when he is talking about all these different things. If you'll go back and you'll look at the book of Acts, and you'll see how he operated all throughout the book of Acts with prophecy, with tongues, with with all these different things. And and see where Paul talks about once that which is perfect has come, all these things are going to go away.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think it's important because you we have so many people today who believe that there's a still small voice that speaks to them, yes, that guides them. Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's not a burning in your bosom. It's yeah, right. Uh we gotta be careful. Ephesians 6 17 tells us that the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. Yeah, and when you look at the Holy Spirit, you look at how it operated, it is always tied to the revelation of God. Yep. Today, the revelation of God is seen through and only through the Word of God as recorded by the Holy Spirit, inspired men to proclaim it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and I mean that's what that's what I was talking about when I was talking about first Corinthians. So deal with our talking. First Corinthians chapter 13. That's right. Many people want to look at it as this miraculous thing. Paul says tongues will cease, prophecies will fail when that which is perfect has come. That's verse 10 of chapter 13. That perfect is the perfect completed revelation of the gospel, the word, the book.

SPEAKER_00

I don't I don't like the fact that the scripture says that tongues will cease.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well tongue first of all, I think it's important we talk about this maybe just for a second. That's why we can bring it off into something. What what was tongues in the Bible?

SPEAKER_01

Tie my tie, tie my tie.

SPEAKER_02

Let's let's go back to Acts chapter two, okay? I I think it's important that we cover this for just a second. And I gotta remember exactly where the text is, what the exact verse is. I know it's here, um, but hang on, hang on, hang on. If one of y'all know it off the top of y'all's heads. Yes. Yes, yes. Acts chapter two and verse eight. Let's let's back up to verse seven. Then when they close. Then they were no, verse eight is where it's at. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, look, are not all of these who speak um Galileans, right? Yeah. Okay, close enough. Verse eight. How is it that we hear each in our own language in which we were born? If these guys were all Galileans, what would they speak? The same language, right? But yet, when the Holy Spirit fell on them, what were they able to do? Speak in different different languages. You gotta look at the day. Yeah, they've never studied, they didn't understand. You also gotta understand what the what the day of Pentecost was. This was a time when people from all over came to Jerusalem there to worship, right? And so when these men got up and spoke, and they spoke all these different languages, these people who might have spoken whatever, whatever tongue you want to say, whatever language you want to say, they could go, hey, wait a minute. I can understand that guy. But they were amazed because these guys were all the same nationality. They were all Galileans, they were all from the same place. Absolutely. But yet they were speaking in languages that they could understand. I hate to hurt your feelings. If your gibber jabber is your tongues, it's gibber jabber.

SPEAKER_00

Well, and some would say, well, that's the reason why Paul commanded an interpreter to be present.

SPEAKER_01

There is only one language that could not be interpreted that was spoken. And that was more than likely by Paul, who spoke the language of angels. That's mentioned in the Bible. You went there, didn't you? You totally went there. The only time.

SPEAKER_00

Y'all, we're chasing rabbits here.

SPEAKER_01

But if we're gonna talk about if we're gonna talk about reality there, but you're correct. Any other time it's a known language.

SPEAKER_00

And pardon the expression, but I'm playing devil's advocates here to a degree because there are so many people that I love that believe that a person has to speak in tongues to be saved. And and they have a misunderstanding, a mis a conception of what those tongues are. If we understand, just as you pointed out from Acts chapter 2, that that these are apostles, and I and I don't have the text in front of me, and I don't even have the research in front of us because we weren't really planning on going this direction right now. But there were, according to scholars, uh if I'm not mistaken, thirteen different dialects, uh uh languages there that day. Yeah. And when you consider the fact that they were from Galilee, most Galileans were not well studied. Right. And so this was amazing to those people that that each one didn't just hear them in their own language as if someone had studied it and learned it. Well, they heard it as if those people had been speaking it from first.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, forever. And you gotta stop and think too, um, what were the professions of the apostles? They fishermen, fishermen, tax collectors, zealots, I mean, they had a very vast walks of life, but not not a lot of them were what you would consider highly educated men. That's right. And so the chances of them having known these languages was impossible.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. So I want to go back though to this idea of having the interpreter. In the context of what Paul is speaking, when he makes that statement, we have to remember he's talking about public speaking. And he's talking about addressing the congregation. There were some people there that were speaking in tongues, they were speaking a foreign language to people who were not to that were not studied in that language because they had the power of the Holy Spirit, they had the ability to do so. And Paul is reminding them hey, don't do this just because you have the power to do it. Make sure there's an interpreter there so that they can understand in their own tongue, in their own language, so that the power of the Holy Spirit can be seen and understood. Yep. Yep. And so that is what is vital to understand about the text and the fact that you pointed out in 1 Corinthians 13, 9, and 10, the fact that the tongues have ceased.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

They're prophecies where their prophecies there shall fail. Yeah. Matter of fact, I I'm going through uh the end times uh and the doctrine of premillennialism and so many of these end time prophecies with uh our Christian Student Center and our college students on Wednesday night. Yeah. And there are so many Many people today that have these prophecies of the end time, and well, the Bible talks about this is going to happen in the end of the world, and yeah, and and a lot of it comes from misunderstanding and misconstrued of text. Yeah, yeah. And the prophecies it's talking about there, it is in regards to the receipt of the word when that which is perfect, just as you pointed out, is come, that is not talking about Jesus Christ. He's already came and he had already come. He's already been here. He already lived his perfect life. He already was beaten and tried and died and was buried. He he had already resurrected, and he had already ascended to the Father.

SPEAKER_02

You also can't say that it's God because God's been here since however, whenever, whatever, always. Before. Before. You can't say it's the Holy Spirit because He's been in operation since the beginning, since before, since whenever forever. So you you can sit here and you can look at these things and you can say, Well, what is perfect? Well, it's it's God, it's Jesus, it's the Holy Spirit. Well, those have already came. So what else could it possibly be?

SPEAKER_00

Well, some would say, well, it it can't be the word because look at the Bible. It's been mistranslated so many times. By men. By men. And that's the key. It's been mistranslated by men, but the word of God itself, the inspired word, is perfect. It's perfect. It is perfect. It is perfect. It is complete. Let me say this anything that can save a sinful soul.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

Anything that can atone or lead one to atonement for their sins and make them worthy of salvation, worthy of being with the Father, an heir of God. Yeah. That is true perfection. Absolutely. Amen. And there's nothing that can do that but the word of God, which leads us to the blood of Jesus Christ, which is the only thing that can cleanse that sin. That's right. And it is that operation of God through his spirit that we become a new creature in Christ and no longer just sinful, mere mortal man. That's right.

SPEAKER_02

Well, and do you have anything you wanted to add? I'm good right now. You know, you you go back and you look at Galatians 5, you know, and and and he's talking there about all these different things in the flesh. Yeah. And he's talking about, you know, Yeah, if it's not performing miracles, then you know, he says, now the works of the flesh are evident. He said, adultery, fornication, uncleanliness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, uh, self-ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God, right?

SPEAKER_03

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Here's where we get to the gift of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is joy, love, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no law. How do we get that? Those who are Christ's, who belong to Christ.

SPEAKER_01

The only way, the absolute only way that we can have any of that is through a study of his words. That's right. That's right. When I walk in the word, when I let it be a lamp to my feet, and a light unto my path. When I submerge myself fully and deeply into a understanding of the word of God. When I hide it in my heart. There you go. How many more psalms can we quote? But when we actually genuinely and truly dive deep into the word, then we will develop this fruit. Yeah. And that is the gift.

SPEAKER_00

I I want to kick this hornet's nest one more time.

SPEAKER_02

I want to one more thing in the right one more verse, one more part. Verse 25. We don't ever talk about verse 25. If we live in the spirit, let us also what? Walk.

SPEAKER_00

That's where in the spirit. Sorry. No, no, no. You're fine. You're fine. You're fine. Um, it just shows that we we think the same. Walk in the spirit, walk in the light. Sounds like a lot of people. Notice the term in the spirit. So many people focus on whether or not we have the spirit in us.

SPEAKER_01

We should be focused on whether we should be in the spirit.

SPEAKER_00

Because if we are in the spirit, he is then in us. That's right. Nobody wonders well whether or not Jesus is in us. That's right. Or maybe if we're in Jesus. Yeah. But if we are in him, he is in us. That's right. It is a relationship, yes. Yeah. And people say I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Yeah. Amen. Wonderful. I'm so happy that you do. Yeah, and I don't say that sarcastically. Yeah. But we understand that that relationship only comes through the knowledge of Him through His Word. That's right.

SPEAKER_02

Yep. Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. The Holy Spirit is indeed our comforter. Yeah, no doubt. And Jesus told his closest disciples, the ones whom he loved in John chapter 14. Yep. He said, Let not your heart be troubled. That's right. You believe in God, believe also in me. In my father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. And I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again. I will receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also. That's right. In John chapter 14, those first four verses, Jesus is telling them, You believe God. Now believe what I'm telling you. Yep. I'm going to prepare a home, a place for you, and I'm going to come back. I'm going to get you. I'm going to bring you to be with me for eternity. That's right. And he said, and whether I go, you know, verse 4, and the way you know. Verse 5, young Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not whether thou goest, nor how could we know the way? And Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life. And no man comes to the Father except through me. Verse 6. That number one tells us that the only way to the Father, the only way to the Spirit of God is through Jesus Christ. That's right. And the only way that we can be in Christ is the only time we see that not the only time that we see it occurring, but the only time that we see the scripture plainly tell us when and how to get into Christ is from the past tense. Romans 6 and verse 3, Paul wrote to those in Rome who were already believers, by the way. Yeah. For as many of us, as many of you as were baptized into Christ, were baptized into his death.

SPEAKER_02

That's right.

SPEAKER_00

Galatians 3, he wrote to the churches of Galatia, already believers. Yep. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. If I want to be with the Father, I want the Holy Spirit in me, and I in the Holy Spirit, I want the Father in me, and I in the Father, I want Christ in me, and I want to be in Christ. The only way that that is going to occur, Acts 2 38. That's right. Then Peter told them to repent. Repent. Be baptized. That's it. And receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. What is that gift? Yes, knowledge. But it's also that knowledge, that word, but the ability to bear fruit for the Lord, having that knowledge, that ability in him. And it's that fruit, just as you pointed out, that bears witness to the fact that we are in the Spirit, in the Spirit in us.

SPEAKER_01

That's it.

SPEAKER_00

You got anything else, David?

SPEAKER_01

I think when we look at the Holy Spirit, we look at God, we look at the Son, we need to understand that as Michael said, as uh Casey said, we desire to be with them. We desire to be in communion with them. Yeah. It's all of them. That's right. It's not one. It's not one. It's not part. It's all.

SPEAKER_00

You don't have one without the other. That's right. And that's not to say that each one doesn't have their own distinct role. That's right.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, absolutely not. But our fellowship is with all. Yeah. Absolutely. All are none. That's right.

SPEAKER_00

That's right. It it is the Godhead three. That's right. It is the Holy Trinity, or it's none. That's exactly right. Guys, we appreciate you so very much spending time with us. We hope that we didn't aggravate you too much. Hopefully, if anything, maybe we created some questions in your mind, or maybe caused you to study a little bit more. That's what this podcast is for. We simply want to be Christians. We want to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible's silent. That's right. Next week, we'll finish our season and we want to look at what happens when our time on earth is done. That's a question that every soul asks themselves in life. Yep.
