A Royal Priesthood
Today we often act as though priests and pastors are the ones who need to usher us into sacred space to meet with God, but the Bible calls Christians a “royal priesthood.” That’s a huge statement, given that priests in the Bible were meditators between God and humanity. In this episode we give a condensed…

Jesus the Ruler of the Kings of Earth
In Revelation 1:5, John pulls from Psalm 89 to bestow three different titles upon Jesus.

Jesus the Firstborn of the Dead

Did John See Revelation, Write Revelation, or Both?
Throughout 404 verses, John makes 518 references to other Bible passages. Did John see all of these references solely in a vision? Or did he write his apocalypse based solely on Scripture? Or is there a mix of prophetic vision and Scripture incorporation happening all at the same time? Discuss it further with us on…
