Most people open the book of Revelation looking for the end of the world. That's not what they find. The Greek word behind "Revelation" means "uncovering." What John is uncovering isn't a future timeline, it's who's actually sitting on the throne while everything looks like it's falling apart. In this first video of our Revelation Bible study, we cover:

- What "apocalypse" actually means (it's not what you've been told)

- Who wrote this letter, and why we're not entirely sure

- When it was written, under Nero or under Domitian

- Why this letter almost didn't make it into the Bible

- The two worldviews every reader has to choose between: fallen Babylon or New Jerusalem

If you've ever been called a heretic, or been afraid you might be one, this episode is for you. We're digging into where the word "heretic" actually comes from, what it meant in Josephus, how Paul used it, and how it morphed into the weapon a lot of evangelical leaders use today to shut down anyone who thinks differently. Turns out the original Greek word just means "a choice you made." That changes everything about how we should hear it.

What if the problem isn't that you sin too much. What if the problem is that the conversation about sin has never gone deep enough?

Most of us were handed a version of sin that was flat. A list of things you did wrong, a prayer to reset it, repeat. But the biblical authors were pointing at something way bigger than that. Something that, if left unchecked, slowly makes you into something less than human.

In this video we dig into what sin actually is in the Bible. We look at Lamech in Genesis 4, Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, the Greek word harmatia, and what Walter White from Breaking Bad has to do with all of it. And yeah, we pour a glass of Ben Holiday along the way.

If you've carried guilt and shame around sin your whole life and it never seemed to actually fix anything, this might be the conversation you needed.
