Life After Life: Parenting, Persecution, and the Hope of Heaven

Join Hannah in the Treehouse as she sits down with Pastor Philip De Courcy—born in Belfast, called by God—to unpack a life shaped by prayer, danger, and a surer hope than this world can offer. Through stirring personal stories and pastoral clarity, Philip traces the thread from his own conversion and policing days to the urgent comfort of the gospel.

Drawing from his new book, Life After Life, this episode reframes heaven not as a distant escape but as an everyday orientation that fuels courage, endurance, and wise parenting. They tackle hard questions about eternity, the resurrection, the judgment seat of Christ, and practical ways to shepherd children in a culture that suppresses truth.

Whether you’re grieving, parenting a curious child, or simply wrestling with what comes next, this conversation will steady your heart: the hope is real, heaven informs how we live now, and the promise of a renewed world changes everything.

The word heaven is used more than 500 times and appears in nearly every book of the Bible. Most people believe there is an afterlife, even if they don’t fully know what it is. With three-quarters of Americans saying they believe in heaven, most act out their daily lives as if it didn’t matter. De Courcy says, “The world is not our home; our hearts lie elsewhere.” He encourages us to focus on life after this life, recognizing this is simply a waypoint.”
