Common Oppositions to the Gods [46]
“This is polytheism! Idols aren’t real beings! God doesn’t need a council! This sounds heretical! This isn’t even important!” These are things we hear all the time when sharing and discussing a supernatural, divine council view of the Bible. In today’s episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn refute common oppositions to the existence of the gods and showcase from Scripture how we need to understand the spiritual realm in our fight against sin and the evil realm.

The Right View of the Millennium? [42]
We’ve reached a very much anticipated conversation in our series on the Book of Revelation. How do the different views of eschatology align with our understanding of Scripture and Revelation? In today’s episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn will explore why “Amillennialism” (or “Realized Millennialism”) aligns best with Revelation’s symbolic and apocalyptic nature. By unpacking its literary structure, prophetic imagery, and intertextual connections with the rest of Scripture, we’ll see how Revelation presents the millennium not as a literal future age but as the present reign of Christ.
