Current Events & Christian Expectations
The purpose of this podcast is to seek out biblical patterns of truth to understand the events of our times. We seek to answer the overarching question: How do we do the will of God in a world where current events never stay current? For Scripture says in 1 John 2:17 that “the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” Questions and comments are welcome : eventsandexpectations@gmail.com
Episodes
In this podcast, we discuss the idea of defilement in religion and culture. We contrast ritual purity with inner transformation and discuss the inward renewal needed for a transformed life. Being a Christian is not merely following external rules, but rather how we pursue holiness of heart as we await Christ’s return.

In this podcast, we study Revelation chapter 7, exploring the sealing of the 144,000 and the great multitude who come out of the great tribulation to stand before the throne. We will delve into the military imagery, the comfort of the Lamb as shepherd, and the promise of springs of living water and eternal shelter.
In this episode we walk through Revelation chapter 6. We examine the four horsemen, the cry of the martyrs, and the apocalyptic imagery of seal six as a prelude to final judgment. All of this highlighting that the narrative ultimately points to God’s rescue, redemption. Leaving us with the final question: who can stand?
This episode continues our study of Revelation and explores the vision of a sealed scroll that no one in heaven or on earth can open. That is until the Lion of Judah—revealed as the slain Lamb—takes it.
We make the connection with links to Daniel, the Psalms, and other New Testament passages to show how this unfolding revelation shapes our Christian expectation.
Today we will continue our Books of the Bible study series with Revelation Chapter 4. As a gentle reminder, we are alternating with our Current Events episodes with this study series.
In this episode, we move from the things of earth to the things of heaven. A door opens and we get to experience together what John saw when he stepped through that door!
In this episode we continue our study of Revelation by working through chapter 3. We read and unpack the letters to Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—emphasizing repentance, perseverance, and what it means to be "worthy" and to conquer.
The episode contrasts Sardis's dying reputation, Philadelphia's open door and protection, and Laodicea's lukewarm complacency. Tune in and learn how your church fits into these letters to ALL th...
Jesus showed us before Taylor Swift. This episode explores why hatred toward righteousness is inevitable. And...rather than answering every attack, how we are called to respond (sometimes in silence....and not in song).

-The churches and the judge.
In this episode we continue our text-centered study of Revelation by examining the first four churches (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira) in chapter 2. We reveal the principles of judgment, angelic oversight, spiritual warfare, and the call to repent and conquer.
We also discuss practical applications to show why judgment begins with the household of God and what rewards await those who overcome.

When the apostle Paul writes to Timothy about “the last days,” he doesn’t start by describing earthquakes, wars, or cosmic signs. He starts by describing people.
Scripture repeatedly warns us: The last days will not be marked by less religion, but by more deception. Not fewer spiritual claims — but more. Which means those in the churches need to be watchful and aware. The test is not charisma. Not popularity. Not signs. The tes...
We live in a time where the downfall of others is often celebrated, mocked, replayed, and shared. Social media has turned judgment into entertainment, and death—even of enemies—into spectacle. But Scripture gives us a very different posture: lament instead of gloating, sorrow instead of satisfaction, humility instead of triumph.
This episode asks a hard question: What does it say about our hearts when we rejoice over the destruct...
The greatest threat is not isolated demonic possession but Satan’s deception within the church itself....and he comes in with me and you.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
