N. T. Wright is perhaps the most influential New Testament scholar of our generation. He is the author of over seventy books, many of which are highly regarded as top academic scholarship. But his influence on regular run-of-the-mill Christians is greatest through his many books written at a more popular level, including the three books "Simply Christian," "Simply Jesus," "After You Believe," and, of course, "Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church."

In "Surprised by Hope," Tom Wright dismantled the narrative we all assumed was the gospel story: that we are saved in order to go to heaven. He wrote that our hope for the future is our physical resurrection to live with God in the New Heavens and New Earth.

This new book, "God’s Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal" (HarperOne, 2025), almost serves as a sequel to that. He returns to the grand narrative of the Bible and explains that God’s promise has always been that he would dwell with humans in a renewed creation.

In this podcast episode, we discuss how God’s home has been, and always will be, with us. We go through several scripture passages that seem to say we go off to Heaven to live forever, instead of God coming to Earth to live with US forever. What a great conversation.

We have a wealth of information at our fingertips, but information is not the same as wisdom. Whether in business, spiritual life, or everyday decisions, we need wisdom’s guidance to lead with purpose and meaning.

We would do well to learn over their shoulders and through their hearts from those with real-life experience and deep resources for wisdom. With decades of leadership experience in business, nonprofits, and Christian higher education, Uli Chi is just such a person.

In his new book, "The Wise Leader" (Eerdmans, 2024), Uli shares what he has discovered in Scripture, through personal experience, as well as from art and literature: That the nature of wisdom is fundamentally relational and other-centered and that wise leadership is a righteous blend of power and humility.
