“If we believe the world is ending in destruction, we won’t invest in it. But Jesus didn’t come to help us escape the earth. He came to restore it." - Eric Johnson
In this deeply thoughtful episode of Live Your Best Life, Liz Wright is joined by pastor and cultural thinker Eric Johnson for a conversation that reframes the gospel through the lens of restoration rather than escape. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and lived experience, Eric unpacks why Jesus came not simply to save souls, but to heal, redeem, and restore all things.
Together, Liz and Eric explore how worldview and eschatology shape the way we live, disciple, and engage culture today. From the Incarnation to the dismantling of the sacred/secular divide, this conversation challenges reductionist gospel narratives and invites listeners into a fuller biblical story: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.
Eric shares how the revelation of God as Father radically transformed the way humanity understands identity, value, and purpose. Rather than an isolated faith focused on escape, listeners are invited into a communal, hope-filled partnership with God that brings renewal to the world around us.
If you’ve sensed that the gospel is bigger than what you were taught, or felt a stirring to participate more fully in God’s restorative work on earth, this episode will bring clarity, courage, and renewed vision. This is a conversation that grounds faith, expands hope, and calls the Church into maturity.
