3 - Going Home - The Journey’s End

I discuss the book “Home, How Heaven and the New Earth Satisfy Our Deepest Longings” by Elyse Fitzpatrick, which explores the concept of heaven and what to expect. I talk about how our true home is in heaven with God, and our time on earth is about reconciliation and being ambassadors for Christ. I also discuss the promise of renewal and fulfillment in heaven and encourage listeners to think about the gifts and talents they have learned on earth that will be a start toward their occupation in heaven.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
