Why K-pop makes me think me of heaven!

Writer Amy Clarke shares how her unexpected love for K-pop helped her grasp the joy of heavenly worship. Through the beauty of concerts and lightstick oceans, she began to imagine heaven not as tedious, but as a place of shared wonder and delight in something far greater than ourselves.

What is heaven actually like? I was probably about ten when I started asking that question. As a young Christian, I knew about heaven as a concept – the perfect place we go after we die, the place where God is. I knew about how Jesus asked us to focus on having treasures in heaven instead of this world. But, being just a small person at the time, the things in this world felt (and sometimes still do feel) very big. Heaven would have to be a very good place indeed to make up for it! So naturally I had questions.
