JM Smith
What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”??
Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo.
Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture.
Thus Disciple Dojo is intended as a virtual Dojo–where students of the Master can be sharpened, challenged, equipped and encouraged as they continue to become more and more like the One they serve…minus the scrapes and bruises!

Part 9 - The Apostles and the End Times
Are we living in the “End Times”?
When is the “Millennium”?
What about the “Great Tribulation”?
Who or what is the “Antichrist”?
Should Christians always support the nation of Israel in order not to be “cursed”?
These are questions that many popular authors and teachers have made millions off of attempting to answer through intricate colorful background charts, or fictional novels and video games.
But when it comes to what the Bible actually teaches about the “End Times”, too many people rely on a passage here or there paired with some current event headline by a preacher on television, radio, or online.
The result is a mass of confusion among Christians (and the wider culture as well!) over these things. Often, sensationalist voices carry the day and people view “the apocalypse” as something that will inevitably involve nuclear war, massive famine, a one-world government, and smooth-talking leaders forcing everyone to get microchips or tattoos on their foreheads and hands!
But does the Bible itself actually teach ANY of this?
In “Apocalypse Now?? What the Bible says about the End Times”, JM Smith guides students through the entire Bible and traces the overall themes and key points Scripture actually addresses. Offering a candid, yet charitable appraisal of various eschatological views Christians have held throughout history, “Apocalypse Now??” seeks to allow the listener to survey the positions and form their own coherent approach that takes into account the contextual background of the Bible’s end times message.
The entire course is available to stream or download via the links below. It is also available in audio CD format for those who prefer a hard copy or would like to give it as a gift to anyone they know who is interested in the subject of “End Times”!
