Listen "Death of a Friend"
Episode Synopsis
There's been a lot of death in the news recently - but one made the front pages around the world, and generated hundreds of column inches in newspapers around the world.It was the death of a friend - Matthew PerryThe Star of the smash-hit sitcom Friends passed away at just 54 years old, found drowned in his hot tub following a suspected heart attack.The death of this "friend" caused a moment of sober realisation for many bystanders - especially millennials and Gen-Xers.We're all on the slow, steady walk towards "the block" - death.This idea of the fleetingness of life - that this is all there is - can lead to disastrous decisions. So much of our anxiety comes from the question "Have we lived the right life? Is there time to live another one?"Ironically, the global West has a denial of death, yet also struggles to make sense of life."This is all there is" is leading us to nihilism.However, it hasn't always been this way.Christians have helped change the conversation around death - and life - for two millennia.After all, "the block" is far from the end of the story - and that's good news for us and our friends.
