Kidnapped, enslaved, and forgotten—until God spoke in a dream. The story of Patrick isn’t just history; it’s an invitation. What happens when we say yes to God, even when it leads us back to the places we’d rather avoid?
All throughout the gospels, Jesus’s teachings are rather nonviolent. Not only does he disarm Peter of his weapon, but he teaches us to forgive and love our enemies. But then in Revelation Jesus returns with a sword in his mouth and we see the theme of violence all over the place. Is Jesus still nonviolent…
In Revelation, Jesus has John write to seven angels that appear to be appointed to seven churches. Is this just symbolism or are angels appointed to churches? What about guardian angels? Can they be assigned to humans? What does the Bible have to say? Those are the questions on the table in today’s Revelation episode.…
The way that John describes Jesus in Revelation sounds very familiar to a certain “man” Daniel described meeting, who shows up alongside two other angels, Gabriel and Michael. What is John implying?

When we think of government, we often miss the much larger picture the Bible paints of the physical and spiritual worlds blending together. In this message, I look at Romans 13 (which is often misapplied for people to endorse anything their favorite political leader does) and set it in the larger cosmological landscape of the…
It took John Wesley some hardship to get to revival. He tried pastoring in Georgia for a short time before returning to England beat and broken. But then, while attending a service where a message that Martin Luther had written was being read aloud, Wesley remarked that, About a quarter before nine, while he was…
When Jesus first speaks to John in Revelation, he sounds like a trumpet. Why is that? We find the answer in a mix of Bible references and cultural and theological messaging. Join the conversation on our Discord: http://www.jxncloud.com/discord
Jesus seemed to show up late. When the Israelites were conquered and taken out of their land, Jeremiah prophesied that their exile would last 70 years. Various Bible writers tried to account for these 70 years in different ways, but Daniel’s revelation was the most surprising—for when he asked God what was taking so long,…
