The Nathan Jacobs Podcast

Can Dogs Go to Heaven? Theology Explained

May 21, 2026·30 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, Dr. Nathan Jacobs explores the simple question: do animals merely live and die, or is there reason to think they share in something more? Drawing from Scripture, the Eastern Orthodox Church Fathers, and the Christian understanding of creation, he examines death, immortality, and humanity’s role within the cosmos, arriving at an answer that is more nuanced than many expect.Please support the East West series: http://theeastwestseries.com/YouTube: https://youtu.be/HlAk0Jm8xd4Do you like this content?
