    Dispensationalism vs the Gospel Story

    In this episode, Dudley and David Holland continue their conversation as they  explore two contrasting ways of understanding the biblical story—the gospel-centered narrative and dispensational theology—and why those interpretations deeply shape Christian hope and practice. Through scripture, church history, and careful reasoning, they examine popular End Times Prophecy, including teachings on the Tribulation, Armageddon, and interpretations of the Book of Revelation. The conversation addresses how dispensationalism places Israel at the center of a future plan while often portraying the church as a temporary pause in history. Dudley and David reflect on how this framework has influenced fear, disengagement from culture, and a diminished vision of the kingdom of God. In contrast, they point listeners back to the hope of the gospel—Jesus reigning now and actively restoring creation. This episode invites humility, honesty, and charity in conversations about the end times. At the center remains our shared confession: Jesus is coming back, and His kingdom is advancing.

    The Church: What’s The Point?

    This week, Dudley brings us his Monthly Message, “The Church: What’s The Point?” and in it, he asks a defining question, what is the purpose of the church? With warmth and clarity, he confronts common myths like the church exists only to “get people to heaven,” the church as moral improvement, the church as a temporary parenthesis in God’s plan, and the church as political liberation alone. Turning to the Ephesians vision of the church, Dudley points us to the gospel reality of heaven and earth together. The church is a Spirit-empowered, messianic community, a working model of the new creation, where Jew and Gentile are united in Christ, and God’s wisdom is displayed to the world. This is not hype, it is a call to live from who we already are in Jesus. Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!

    Eschatology explained: why Christians disagree about the end

    In this episode, Dudley and David Holland offer a clear and thoughtful look at eschatology explained through scripture, church history, and faithful interpretation. Responding to recent critiques, they focus on what was actually said and why conversations around the end times deserve humility, honesty, and charity. The discussion contrasts dispensationalism vs covenant theology and explores how different interpretive lenses shape the way believers read the book of Revelation. Dudley and David trace early church eschatology, showing that the modern dispensational model is not the only way Christians have understood the story of the Bible or the end of the age. Rather than promoting fear or speculation, they highlight kingdom theology and the hope found in Jesus and the gospel story. This conversation invites listeners to return to scripture with open hearts, recognizing that interpretation matters and unity does not require uniformity. At the center remains a shared confession, Jesus is coming back, and his kingdom is advancing. You can get access to this series and more for free by visiting studywithdudley.com.

    Why So Many Christians Believe the End Is Near

    In this episode, Dudley and David Holland dive back into one of the most debated topics in the Church today—the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the belief that the end is near, and how our understanding of the last days shapes the way we live now. They explore why end-times thinking often stirs fear, urgency, and a longing for judgment, and how these beliefs have influenced modern Christianity. This conversation reframes eschatology through the lens of the gospel of the Kingdom, revealing how Jesus inaugurated His rule through His life, death, and resurrection. Rather than retreating and waiting for rescue, believers are called into active spiritual warfare, advancing truth, love, and reconciliation in a broken world. This episode isn’t about predicting dates or timelines—it’s a call to rediscover the mission Jesus entrusted to His people and to live faithfully between the “already” and the “not yet.” You can get access to this series and more for free by visiting studywithdudley.com.

    The Resting Heart

    This week, Dudley brings us his Monthly Message: The Resting Heart. In it he offers a clear and hope filled Hebrews 3 explained teaching that addresses why so many believers struggle with rest. By walking through Scripture, he contrasts grace vs law and shows how striving, fear, and religious pressure keep hearts restless even when faith is sincere. You will discover how rest with Jesus is not inactivity but trust in His finished work, and why the Sabbath was always meant to point beyond a day toward a deeper reality. Dudley unpacks a theology of rest rooted in the gospel, revealing how Jesus fulfills the law and invites us to live from assurance rather than effort. As Hebrews warns, refusing grace leads to hardened hearts, while receiving Christ produces joy, endurance, and peace. This teaching helps reframe anxiety, obedience, and spiritual discipline through the lens of grace, inviting believers to live today in confidence and freedom by trusting fully in what Jesus has already done.

Dudley points to Romans 6 and Acts 20:32, showing how God’s unconditional love is not a theory, it is the foundation that builds you up and establishes you in your inheritance with all the saints.

    Why Church Consumerism Is Hurting Christianity

    This week, Dudley and Pastor Chris McRae continue their conversation by addressing the realities of community, leadership, and the impact of consumerism on the modern church. Through honest dialogue and lived experience, they reflect on the weight pastors carry, the responsibility of preaching a faithful sermon, and the deep care involved in shepherding people well. This conversation invites believers to consider an important question for Christian faith today: How do we remain grounded in the gospel while resisting the temptation to treat church as something to consume rather than a place to belong? Together, they explore the role of church accountability, the value of meaningful community, and the necessity of hearing and living out the true gospel. By anchoring our lives in biblical truth and the person of Jesus, this episode points toward a vision of Christianity that is rooted in commitment, discipleship, and grace.
