Every few years, a new date for the "end of the world" goes viral. But what if our entire understanding of the "apocalypse" is wrong? What if the Bible was never trying to give us a secret timetable for the future?

In this episode (Part 1 of a new series), we're tackling the hype around "end times" head-on. We share our own experiences with everything from Left Behind books to failed predictions, and discuss why this kind of sensationalism can be so unhelpful.

Then we dive deep: What does the word "apocalypse" actually mean? (Hint: It's not "catastrophe.") We explore books like Daniel and Revelation in their original context, finding that they weren't written as crystal balls, but as powerful letters of hope to suffering people, meant to inspire faithful endurance in the present.

Join us as we reframe this confusing topic, moving from anxious speculation to a more hopeful and practical understanding of scripture.
