The Right View of the Millennium? Jan 27, 2025

We’ve reached a very much anticipated conversation in our series on the Book of Revelation. How do the different views of eschatology align with our understanding of Scripture and Revelation? In today’s episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn will explore why “Amillennialism” (or “Realized Millennialism”) aligns best with Revelation’s symbolic and apocalyptic nature. By unpacking its literary structure, prophetic imagery, and intertextual connections with the rest of Scripture, we’ll see how Revelation presents the millennium not as a literal future age but as the present reign of Christ.

Is God Guilty of Genocide? Dec 09, 2024

People often look at the commands of God in the Old Testament and think, “How can this be a loving God?” Even more so, He is accused of committing great injustices against large groups of people.

Prayer as Spiritual Warfare? Nov 25, 2024

Christians often examine their “prayer lives,” wondering if they are praying correctly, praying enough, or if their prayers are effective at all. As with other elements of the Christian life, we can rob prayer of its inherent supernatural power by imposing our own fleshly expectations upon it. In this episode, Jon and Doug discuss how prayer is less about an action and more about a lifestyle, and how this means of grace is used by our Lord to wage war in the spiritual realm.

The Lord's Table as Spiritual Warfare? Nov 18, 2024

Many Christians are confused about the sacrament of the Lord’s Table, also known as communion. Some say that it is merely a memorial for remembrance only. Others say that there is a physical element of Christ within it. These focuses are missing the point of communion and the role it holds within the Christian life. Participation in the Lord’s Supper holds significant spiritual power for the believer. An emphasis on the common union between us and Christ. In this episode, Jon and Doug discuss the history of communion theology and how integral it is in the success of good over evil in the spiritual realm.

How is the Bible Magical? Nov 04, 2024

In our attempts to make the Bible compelling to the world, we try to downplay or completely ignore the amazing, supernatural power that the gospel holds! In this episode, Jon and Doug discuss the etymology of the word gospel and how its full power is often hidden through improper teaching. The word of the Lord is more than information. It has the power to reach the depths of the soul and save the lost. Justifying, sanctifying, and glorifying us through God’s incredible sovereignty, grace, and mercy.

Jesus Knocking at the Door...of Hell! Oct 28, 2024

Christians around the world don’t understand the real significance behind many of the most famous Psalms. The key to understanding the pictures described in these Psalms is a full view of the supernatural battle that takes place throughout the entire Bible. Centering all around Jesus, His work on earth, and His conquering of Hell, the evil realm, and of the beings that rebel against the one, true God.

Can We Cast Out Demons? Sep 30, 2024

Demon exorcisms, pulling demons out of people, casting out demons… Are these things Christians should be trying to do? Do we even hold the power to do so? Popular culture, sensationalism, and media would say yes, but what does scripture say about these phenomena? Unsurprisingly, the common ideas of these actions are far off from how the Bible instructs us to fight this supernatural, spiritual warfare of good versus evil!

Did Jesus Descend Into Hell? Sep 02, 2024

Why does the Apostles’ Creed say that Jesus “descended into hell?” There are many frequently asked questions regarding this statement. What does “hell” mean, and where does Jesus really go after the crucifixion? In scripture, we see several Greek and Hebrew words translated as “hell.” Our culture and media have also distorted our idea of what words like hades, land of the dead, and paradise truly mean, even in largely Christian circles. We hope you find this conversation informative!

Reformed Theology and The Divine Council Jul 22, 2024

A supernatural view of the Bible, and the history within it, helps bring even more clarity to covenant theology. The way God covenants with His people is often in direct opposition to the covenants men made with other powers. Christ ultimately shows the futility of these other gods and their covenants by revealing to them His full power through His ministry on Earth, the resurrection, and His ascension.

Talking to the Dead! (w/ Doreen Virtue) Apr 29, 2024

Mediums?! Occultism?! Speaking to the dead?! These are all things some of us may not be familiar with, but these New Age ideas have seeped into many millions of Christians and their institutions. Many write them off as hocus pocus, but that may be even more dangerous than participating in these practices. Paul tells us in Ephesians that we wrestle “against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” In this episode, Jon is joined by a famous New Age dissenter, Doreen Virtue, to help guide us through the alarming nature and lies of New Age, unbiblical spirituality.
