Leaving Behind the End Times
May 31, 2023
Summary
In today’s episode, Jon and Justin talk about the end times. For many in the church, the conversation about last things--and the return of Christ--has been steeped in fear. The return of the Savior is presented as a frightful thing for the believer, and this is supposed to motivate us to action. The New Testament presentation is different. The return of Christ is meant to both give the believer hope and motivate us to action now.

Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we're going to talk about the end times.
Not that anybody out there is interested in that subject matter.
We're going to talk about it anyway.
From our perspective, it seems that most of the conversation around the end of the world and the return of Christ, pointedly, has been very fear-based.
The return of Christ is a fearful thing, even for believers.
Is that how it should be?
John and I consider that on today's episode.
And not to give it all away, not to steal our own thunder, we're going to pivot in the second half of the episode to consider how the return of Christ from a New Testament perspective is actually meant to
give us hope and it's meant to motivate us for action now.
And so, if you would like to consider that and think about how that could possibly be true, today's pod is for you.
And then for the SR podcast today, we're going to talk about heavenly reward and a judgment according to works.
What do we think about that?
What do we say to those things?
We hope you're encouraged by the content.
Hope it's helpful to you.
Stay tuned.
We are excited to announce we have a brand new podcast available called the Kingsmen Podcast.
It's where we are reclaiming biblical manhood by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.
You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.
