Our culture insists this life is all there is - so optimise, control, avoid pain - but that story quietly breeds anxiety, cynicism, and despair. Scripture offers a counterintuitive path: aim at heaven and you get earth 'thrown in'; face death honestly and your priorities sharpen, your joy deepens, and courage grows. In this workshop, we will explore how an eternal horizon reframes identity, suffering, and daily choices - moving us from nostalgia or nihilism to hopeful, purposeful living. Expect practical ways to 'live life backwards': guard your heart, choose what truly matters, and walk toward the day you hear, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'
