Do Pets Go to Heaven? What the Bible Really Says 🐾

---

Season 7 Episode 150

---

Have you ever wondered if your dog, cat, or beloved pet will be in heaven? 
🐶🐱 

In this heartfelt episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike Stone dives deep into one of the most emotional questions we face after losing a pet: Do pets go to heaven?

Together, we’ll explore:
✅ What the Bible actually says (and doesn’t say) about animals in eternity
✅ Scriptures that reveal God’s love and care for creation
✅ Insights from Christian thinkers like C.S. Lewis and Randy Alcorn
✅ Why grieving the loss of a pet is valid — and how God meets us in that grief
✅ The hope we can hold onto about God’s eternal plan

If you’ve lost a pet or know someone who has, this episode offers biblical reflection, encouragement, and hope. Nothing truly good is lost in Christ — and that includes the furry friends who brought us so much joy.
