    Holy Wars | When Christians Pick Up Swords Instead of Crosses

    In the season two finale, three generations — a boomer, a Gen Xer, and a millennial — discuss Christianity and violence, tracing history from the Old Testament and Crusades to just war theory, pacifism, and modern conflicts. They examine how religion can be used for power, the tension between church and state, moral responsibility, and the path toward confession, reconciliation, and following Jesus’ teachings.

    Dead People Walking | What We Really Believe About Miracles

    Three generations — a boomer, a Gen Xer, and a millennial — walk to church and wrestle with miracles: what they mean, how they relate to science, and why the resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian hope. The conversation explores C.S. Lewis’s distinction between miracles of the old creation and new creation, real-life healing stories, doubt, suffering, and how belief shapes what we see as miraculous. On the brink of Easter, the hosts emphasize the resurrection’s promise of life beyond death, the call to bring healing in the world, and why people still gather for this life-changing story.

    The Devil Made Me Do It | Spiritual Warfare in the Real World

    On this episode of Generation to Revelation the hosts unpack spiritual warfare—what we mean by the devil and demons, how scripture and personal experience shape belief, and how modern explanations (mental health, social forces) intersect with traditional spiritual language. They discuss practical pastoral responses, abuses in charismatic practice, cultural differences in seeing the supernatural, and why Jesus remains central to confronting evil.

    The Talk | Christianity and Modern Sexuality

The episode models honest, respectful disagreement while exploring how cultural shifts and scripture shape beliefs and pastoral practice.

    Careful What You Pray For | When God Actually Answers

    Hosts from three generations discuss why “thoughts and prayers” can feel empty in the face of tragedy and how genuine prayer should lead to action, humility, and persistent hope. They explore whether prayer changes people or God, wrestling with suffering, timing, and the role of faith in public life—urging prayer that transforms us into active participants in God’s work.

    Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen?

    Three hosts—a boomer, a Gen Xer, and a millennial—examine the age-old problem of evil, pain, and suffering: if God is all-powerful and all-good, why does suffering exist? They discuss common answers (free will, theodicies, Genesis, Job), the meaning of Jesus’ suffering, and the pastoral response of presence and sacrificial love, emphasizing compassion over easy answers.

    The False Prophet Card | How We Silence Instead of Listen

    Three hosts from different generations discuss the meaning of prophecy, real-life accusations of "false prophets," and how those labels are used—sometimes as weapons—through examples like church closures during COVID and debates over baptism and women in ministry. The episode explores biblical touchstones for discernment (Jesus, scripture, and love), encourages epistemological humility, and offers practical guidance for listening, holding convictions lightly, and keeping conversations rooted in grace rather than purity tests.

    Dear God | A Beginner's Guide to Prayer

    Generation to Revelation hosts Pastor Mikayla Eskew, Pastor Travis Norton, and Lori Duncan explore what prayer is, how to pray, and whether God listens. They share personal childhood prayers, honest doubts, and practical ways to grow a prayer life. The episode covers types of prayer, hearing God in everyday moments, dealing with dry seasons, and how prayer shapes our relationship with God more than it simply gets results.
