Avoiding an “Escapist” Mentality | Dr. Mark Snoeberger

Sound Words Podcast

In this episode, we explore how studying what the Bible teaches about future events—like heaven, the Rapture, and the eternal state—can shape a Christian’s affections and priorities. 

We also tackle the accusation that dispensational premillennialists are “escapist,” examining whether this critique holds weight.

Join us as we discuss the tension between living as “homesick pilgrims” and faithfully serving Christ, as well as what cultural engagement should look like in light of eternity.
