285 — Revelation Part 4: Is Jesus Returning Soon?

This week, we ask what Jesus meant when he said he was coming “soon,” exploring why this question keeps resurfacing in anxious cultural moments and fear-driven Christian conversations. We turn to Scripture to show that “soon” is about readiness, not timelines, and that the promise of Christ’s return is meant to produce hope, faithfulness, and peace—not panic.

284 — Revelation Part 3: Mark of the Beast & The Anti-Christ

This week, we cut through fear, rumors, and speculation surrounding the Mark of the Beast and the Antichrist, examining why these ideas grip our imagination and how culture fuels the anxiety. We return to Scripture to show that the mark is about allegiance and worship, the Antichrist is about deception, and Revelation is meant to strengthen faith—not feed paranoia.
