140 — Reevaluating Eschatology with Pastor Mark Hammer
Pastor Mark Hammer joins the podcast today to discuss his journey of re-evaluating his understanding of eschatology and the end times.
Mark takes us through the different views of end times, including premillennialism, historicism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism.

Mark Hammer has been in full time ministry with his amazing wife, Lindsey for almost 18 years.
