Seminar Details

What you can expect

The Great to Glorious seminar is designed to present the biblical teaching about life, death, and beyond!  God has revealed in the Bible how you can have a GREAT earthly life now, which leads TO a better non-earthly life after death, and ultimately, a GLORIOUS new-earthly life following the resurrection. A Great to Glorious life is not automatic, but is guaranteed when you come to Christ on His terms. Preparation must happen in your earthly life. Don’t wait!

Questions god has answered

  • What is my purpose in life? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

  • Is there life after death? Do I just live and die and nothing else?

  • Can I know what happened to my loved ones when they died?

  • Can I really know what is going to happen to me?

  • Will I continue to exist, and if so, where?

God’s Word speaks clearly to these crucial matters, but the research has shown that many, including those who attend church on a regular basis, are lacking in their understanding of life, death, and beyond.  Please browse the following information and pray about attending or hosting a Great to Glorious seminar.

Seminar Format

The basic format of the seminar includes three sessions.  Each session is devoted to one of the three stages of existence revealed in the Bible, God’s Word.

  • Stage one is existence in a body. This stage is called earthly life. Specifically, it refers to your physical life from the moment of conception until its end at physical death. In this session, you will also discover where you came from, the purpose of your existence in a body, and how you can be prepared for the two stages of existence that will follow.

  • Stage two is existence out of a body. This stage is called non-earthly life. Specifically, it refers to the inevitable reality that you will experience physical death and at that moment enter into your second stage of existence. In this session, you will discover what happens to you between the moment physical death occurs and the moment you experience physical resurrection.

  • Stage three is existence back in a body. This stage is called new-earthly life. Specifically, it refers to the physical resurrection of believers and what happens to them in eternity. You will discover what kind of resurrected body you will have, where you will be, some of the things you will be doing, and the fact that your final stage of existence will never end. The truth of what happens to non-believers will also be made clear.

Seminar Flexibility

It is best to schedule at least one hour for each session to cover the material in the seminar fully. That should give time for questions from the participants at the end of each hour.  If desired, an additional 25 minutes for each of the opening and closing surveys will allow the members to know how they have grown in their understanding of life, death, and beyond.  That is entirely optional and could be accomplished beforehand with online access to the surveys.  Of course, the more time available, the more opportunity people have to receive the information they need and to make an in-depth examination of the Scripture text.  The times and length of the seminar can be adjusted to meet the needs of the local congregation.  You could begin on Sunday morning with the subject introduced during the morning message and conclude on Tuesday or Wednesday night.  The only difference being how much time is allowed in the evening services.  The value of a schedule that begins on Sunday morning, or even Sunday night, is that several may come to the seminar when they realize how helpful it can be in their lives.  You may prefer to do the seminar in one day as we did in the controlled research presentations.  We started in the morning and ended in the early afternoon.

I desire to serve the particular needs of each local church or study group.  I will work with you to determine the best use of our time together.  Don’t hesitate to contact me with any special needs or requests.

Research has shown that those who have participated in the original Discover Your Destiny, on which this seminar is built, had a significant increase in their understanding of the biblical teaching about life, death, and beyond.  It further indicated the seminar is a valuable tool to help pastors and church leaders fulfill an urgent need to address the issues surrounding death and eternity.  There was definite confirmation that those who attended the seminars had an increase in their level of comfort in facing death, plus an increased sense of urgency in evangelism.  The Great to Glorious seminar updated the material with continued research that highlights developments in our culture's understanding of death.  It is sad that many are taught to embrace death when they need to know how to defeat death!  Let us help with doctrinally sound, compassionate, biblical teaching that delivers hope and assurance!
