    What We Misunderstand About Heaven

    The message of Revelation in all of its impressionist complexity & symbolism can easily leave us with misunderstandings about the afterlife for those who don't delve into understand it!

    Dissident Disciples

    Scot McKnight coined the term "Dissident Disciples" in his book "Revelation for the Rest of Us". In this episode, Travis & Eli sit down to discuss the term and its implications for us. Within the natural dissidence that Christ-followers live in, since we are eternal residents of a different kingdom, we are not meant to be people who simply shout out warnings of impending judgment or cataclysm! Instead, we should be people of hope, eager to warn anyone who would hear!

    Following Jesus In Middle School

    We broke the Podcast Guest record and I sat down with 8 middle school students while I was at Hidden Haven Christian Camp to ask them some simple questions about what it is like to follow Jesus as a Middle Schooler today! Hear from Gabriel, Acelyn, Jaggar, Thomas, Kennedy, Emery, Kennedy (a different one), and Ralee, and hopefully gain some encouragement and/or perspective about how we can support the students in our circles of influence in their walk with Jesus!

    How To Read Revelation

    The Book of Revelation can feel so strange and intimidating to people. Is it a code that needs to be cracked? A secret insight into the return of Jesus? A mystical delusion?

Travis and Eli sit down to discuss several practical tips for reading the apocalyptic literature of the Book of Revelation.
