Will I Still Be Married in Heaven? NT Wright responds
Will we ever see an OT Wright translation to match NT Wright's New Testament for Everyone? Tom explains why an Old Testament version isn’t on the cards—but offers a witty alternative involving his son! The conversation moves on to remarriage, exploring whether we’ll still relate to our spouses in the same way in the new creation, and how Jesus’ words in the Gospels shape our understanding of life after death. Finally, Tom responds to a heartfelt question about whether God favours Jewish believers over Gentiles, unpacking Paul’s theology in Romans and affirming the radical equality found in Christ. This episode is rich with pastoral wisdom and biblical insight, not to be missed.Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/geolink/donateGot a question for Tom?

What does the Bible mean by a hardened heart, 'filled' by the Spirit and to be 'holy'?
What is biblical holiness? Can a heart be so hardened that it’s beyond saving? Does the Holy Spirit still give personal promises today? And what does it mean to be truly 'filled' with the Spirit?
Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle four deep listener questions about the nature of holiness, the mystery of a hardened heart, how the Holy Spirit speaks today, and the meaning of being filled with the Spirit in the New Testament. They unpack the richness of biblical language, the difference between human and divine hardening, how to discern personal spiritual promises, and how God’s filling work transforms lives moment by moment.

What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? How should we read the Old Testament in light of the New? And what can Herod’s strange reaction to Jesus teach us about resurrection and eschatology?Today on Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Michael Bird unpack the theological depth of Jesus’ teachings on the end times, the ongoing tension between inaugurated and future eschatology, and the complex relationship between the Old and New Testaments. They challenge overly simplistic readings of prophecy, explore the implications of resurrection hope, and reflect on how Herod’s confusion reveals deeper truths about fear, guilt, and misunderstanding in the ancient world... and today.
