Well, it's time for another Rapture. I think we ate all the canned goods from the last time... time to buy more! In this episode we discuss the craziness of eschatology, dispensationalism, and rapture theology. Where did the idea of a rapture come from? Is it historical christianity or a more modern invention? We seek those answers and more! So saddle up, blow your shofar and get ready for the RAPTURE.

"Mid Boss" by Ucan
Memes and misconceptions about ‘biblically accurate angels’ have carved out a small corner of the internet and influenced the minds of those who read the strange descriptions of angels, cherubim, and seraphim in Scripture. Maybe these amalgamational creatures aren't what you think. Maybe Angels and spirits in the unseen realm aren't what you have been led to believe. Let's dive into the exciting topic of Angelology and see what the text actually says concerning these divine beings.

"Retro Arcade" by Beat Mekanik
In this episode, Dr. Johnson shared his views on Baptism and also the Lord's Supper and how maybe we've institutionalized these things that were maybe just cultural expressions in the ancient time. We always love hearing and learning from Dr. Johnson and his approach of just reading the text! What an idea...

In this episode we talk with our friend, Rene Maillet of Basic Bible @itsbasicbible, about some of the top objections with Christianity. The number 1 objection is the "problem of evil," which questions how a benevolent and omnipotent God could allow evil to exist in the world and is generally attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus.
We just wanted to discuss the topic because these types of objections are often floated in short format on social media. As Christians, we want to be ready to give a defense of our faith and these discussions help us talk through these issues logically.
