Episode 392 – What If Aliens Are Real?

from Beyond Sunday · host Lord of Life Lutheran Church

What if aliens are real—and two U.S. presidents have already hinted at it? More importantly… would it actually change anything about Christian faith? In this episode, we dive into a fascinating Christianity Today article exploring how believers might respond to the reality of extraterrestrial life. Would aliens need salvation? Does the gospel extend beyond Earth? And why does this idea feel less shocking than it probably should? With a mix of humor, curiosity, and thoughtful theology, we explore what first contact might mean—not just for science fiction, but for how we understand God, creation, and the scope of redemption. Because the real question isn’t are aliens out there? It’s is our faith big enough if they are?
