What if the ache you feel in moments of beauty and loss is actually pointing to something real? In this opening session, John Eldredge introduces the breathtaking hope of the coming restoration—the promise woven into the fabric of life and echoed in Scripture. From moments of profound beauty to seasons of sorrow and longing, our hearts recognize the whisper of something more. This session invites you to reframe your understanding of eternity, not as an eternal church service in the clouds, but as the renewal of all things—your life, your story, the earth itself.
Jesus called it the "palingensia"—Genesis again. Not destruction, but restoration. Not escape, but the return of Eden. This is the hope that anchors the soul (Hebrews 6:19). If we dare to believe this is what’s coming, then beauty, joy, and desire are no longer cruel teases—they’re promises. And nothing is lost.
