Send Us a Message! If you weren’t told it at six, would you still believe it now? This week on Off Central, we sit down with Shane Willard to rethink what we’ve always been told about “the end times.” Maybe Jesus wasn’t predicting the end of the world — maybe He was announcing the end of an age and the beginning of something new. We talk about why fear-based faith doesn’t hold up in adulthood, how endings in Scripture always lead to resurrection, and why every “apocalypse” might just be a do...
