It’s the most famous end-times concept in modern culture: a secret, sudden event where believers vanish and leave the world behind. But is the "Rapture" actually found in the pages of Scripture?

In the finale of our End Times series, we tackle the "Rapture" head-on. We dive deep into the three specific Bible passages most people use to support the idea - John 14, Matthew 24, and 1 Thessalonians 4 - and discover that when you read them in context, they tell a completely different story.

We move beyond the fear-based theology of "Left Behind" to uncover a biblical hope that is far more beautiful: not an escape plan from Earth, but the promise of God’s return to Earth to renew all things.

Join us as we wrap up this series by trading the anxiety of an evacuation for the hope of a restoration.

For most of our lives, we’ve been given one picture of the afterlife: we leave Earth and go "up" to a disembodied heaven of clouds, harps, and pearly gates. But what if that popular idea isn't actually what the Bible is pointing toward?

In Part 2 of our series on the end times, we challenge this "escape" narrative. We trace the real biblical story, from the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle, from Jesus as the walking Temple to the stunning finale in Revelation. What we find is a consistent, powerful theme: God's plan isn't to get us off Earth, it's to bring heaven down to Earth.

Join us as we explore the breathtaking vision of a "garden city" on a renewed creation, and what this means for our mission right here and now. If our goal isn't just to sell "tickets to heaven," what are we supposed to be doing? This conversation will change the way you see your purpose.

(And get ready for Part 3, where we'll finally ask: "So, what about the rapture?")

Every few years, a new date for the "end of the world" goes viral. But what if our entire understanding of the "apocalypse" is wrong? What if the Bible was never trying to give us a secret timetable for the future?

In this episode (Part 1 of a new series), we're tackling the hype around "end times" head-on. We share our own experiences with everything from Left Behind books to failed predictions, and discuss why this kind of sensationalism can be so unhelpful.

Then we dive deep: What does the word "apocalypse" actually mean? (Hint: It's not "catastrophe.") We explore books like Daniel and Revelation in their original context, finding that they weren't written as crystal balls, but as powerful letters of hope to suffering people, meant to inspire faithful endurance in the present.

Join us as we reframe this confusing topic, moving from anxious speculation to a more hopeful and practical understanding of scripture.
