CPP #618 – What Church Planters Need to Know About the End Times Craze

In this episode, Pete and Peyton dive into one of the most explosive topics resurfacing online today: End Times theology. With Revelation videos going viral on TikTok and Instagram, people—especially younger generations—are asking fresh questions about the last days, the Antichrist, and whether current events signal something bigger. Peyton unpacks how church planters can step into that conversation with clarity instead of confusion.

Together, they explore the difference between dispensationalism, covenant theology, and historicist readings of Scripture, why many popular End Times interpretations miss the point, and how Jesus’ words in Matthew 24–25 fit into the larger storyline of redemptive history. Peyton highlights key resources that help ground leaders in sanity, not sensationalism—and explains why getting Revelation right matters for mission, evangelism, and discipleship.

Whether you love talking prophecy or avoid it at all costs, this episode will equip you to lead your people wisely, pastor skeptics compassionately, and keep the gospel at the center of the cultural conversation swirling around the End Times.
