In Episode 2, Pat and Stephen turn to both the Old Testament and New Testament to explore John’s breathtaking vision of heaven in the Book of Revelation. They discuss how this scene reveals the heavenly liturgy—the worship of God by angels, elders, and living creatures—and how it reflects the reality of the communion of saints. From incense-filled prayers to the Lamb at the center of the throne, this episode unpacks the connection between heaven and earth, showing how our worship joins the eternal praise of the heavenly assembly.

In this episode, Stephen and Pat dive into Revelation chapters 1–3 and explore the rich liturgical themes woven throughout the text. From the doxologies and priestly imagery of chapter 1 to the structured exhortations and heavenly promises in the letters to the seven churches, these chapters reveal early Christian worship in action. We discuss how the text reflects not just prophecy, but a vision of the Church gathered in reverence, repentance, and praise—uniting earthly worship with the heavenly assembly.

Many Christians grow up believing that “old-time religion” — revival preaching, altar calls, and King James Bibles — represents the original faith of the apostles. But what happens when that version of Christianity is held up against the witness of the early Church? This episode explores the journey from Fundamentalist Baptist roots to the historic Apostolic Church. It highlights the convictions that Fundamentalism gets right — love for Scripture, moral clarity, and evangelistic zeal — while examining where it diverges from the faith practiced and preserved by the early Christians. Listeners are invited to consider key historical questions and to rediscover a Church that predates every modern denomination — a Church that was already ancient long before the first revival tent was ever pitched.

In this episode of FACTS, we confront the growing wave of hyper-skepticism that claims the apostles of Jesus never existed—let alone died for their faith. Stephen Boyce examines the historical and textual evidence for the lives, ministries, and martyrdoms of the apostles, drawing from the biblical texts and early Christian sources. Were the apostles invented to prop up a legend, or were they real men whose lives—and deaths—testified to something far more profound? Tune in as we dismantle modern mythicist arguments and make the historical case for the apostolic witness.

In this episode of FACTS, we trace the powerful story of Pentecost—from its Old Testament roots as the Feast of Weeks to its climactic fulfillment in Acts 2 with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We’ll explore how Pentecost marks the birth of the Church, the reversal of Babel, and the commissioning of the apostles. Finally, we examine how the early church fathers understood and celebrated this feast, with insights from Irenaeus, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Cyril of Alexandria. This is more than history—it’s the story of the Spirit at work in the Church then and now.
