49. The Hope of Eternal Life

In this episode of Wise Counsel, Robert Smith unpacks Titus 1:2: “in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began.” Eternal life isn’t wishful thinking—it’s anchored in God’s unshakable promise. Drawing on the insights of Michael S. Heiser (The Unseen Realm)and N.T. Wright (Surprised by Hope), we’ll explore how the promise of eternal life shaped the earliest Christians and continues to sustain believers today. Along the way, we’ll connect this theme to America’s founding vision of liberty and to pop culture’s longing for immortality.
