Most men leave the decision about their own body to someone else.

This is the Chosen to Lead Men's Podcast with Steve Altmeyer, who walks Genesis through Revelation to show what God's Word actually says about cremation and burial. Bold and real like most won't talk about.

In this episode:
- Why "it's my body, I'll do what I want" is a lie you may have believed
- What the Bible says happens to the bones God made for you
- The verse where God names burning a body as a sin — and why most people have never read it
- Why Jacob and Joseph both gave dying commands about where their bones would go
- What to do if you've already cremated someone you loved
