Celebrating Christmas Day with a Special Re-Air of Episode 541

What does the Bible really say about eternal life—and what happens to our bodies after death? In this episode, Steve Wood unpacks the powerful truth of 1 John 3:2 and tackles common misconceptions, including the widespread but unbiblical belief that the soul alone goes to heaven. Instead, Scripture teaches the resurrection of the body and a future of embodied life on a renewed earth with Jesus.

Steve draws from Acts, Philippians, John’s Gospel, and Revelation to explain what Christians can truly expect after the Second Coming—and what that means for both believers and unbelievers. He also offers a thoughtful reflection on cremation, the Catechism, and how our burial choices can witness to the hope of resurrection.

In this episode, Steve Wood reveals how many well-meaning Catholic porn-recovery approaches fall into a dangerous pseudo-spirituality that actually leads to deeper bondage. Using Colossians 2, he explains how “elemental spirits” (stoicheion) and human traditions can masquerade as virtue—especially when programs rely on extreme asceticism, guilt, and harsh self-discipline instead of the power of Christ.

Steve highlights the key passages in Colossians showing that Christ has already forgiven, freed, and triumphed over the spiritual powers. He stresses the crucial warning of Colossians 2:23: severe practices may look wise, but they have no value in overcoming the flesh.

If you or someone you love is seeking real freedom from pornography, this episode will help you discern between programs rooted in Christ’s strength and those that rely on human effort alone.

Listen now to rediscover Christ-centered freedom—and to break from the deceptive spiritual practices that keep so many Catholics stuck in cycles of defeat.
