The End of History and the Armor That Gets Us There

The End of History and the Armor That Gets Us There

We cover a lot of ground in this one. In this episode of Redeemer Equip - Conversations, Rick sits down with Jordan and Chase to catch up on Revelation 17–20, and connect it with the Armor of God in Ephesians 6. From the pull of Babylon to the victory of the Lamb, from spiritual warfare to final judgment, this conversation helps make sense of what can feel overwhelming.

Bright Threads, Beasts, and Staying the Course : Revelation 13-16

Revelation 13–16 is not meant to produce fear or speculation - but endurance, discernment, and courageous allegiance to Jesus. In this episode of Redeemer Equip: Conversations, Erin Kellogg takes the host seat and sits down with Rick and Jim Burke to talk about the themes and imagery of Revelation, the beasts we encounter, and remaining faithful to the Lord throughout our lives.

The Church Is Not Fragile: Trumpets, Dragons, and Enduring Saints

Revelation 8–12 can feel messy - trumpets, plagues, scrolls, witnesses, a dragon, and a woman in the wilderness. But beneath the imagery is truth: the church is not fragile, the war is not random, and God will not lose. In this episode of Redeemer Equip: Conversations, Rick sits down with Jordan Elder and Brandon Barker to unpack “de-creation,” the church’s calling to witness, the spiritual war behind the war, and why the dragon rages against ordinary faithfulness.

Please Stop Counting the Uncountable: Revelation 7 and the Hope of God’s People

Revelation 7 interrupts chaos with comfort, and in this episode, we let that interruption do its work. Rick Bowers is joined by Jordan Elder and Erin Kellogg to talk about being sealed by God, why faith isn’t a solo project, how casual Christianity quietly forms us in the worst ways, and why holiness still matters for people who are truly saved.

Avoiding Charts, Graphs, and Panic: Reading Revelation Responsibly & Faithfully

A first conversation to help us acclimate to Revelation: how to read it responsibly, how it anchors us in the scriptures, and how it steadies us and gives hope when history feels unstable. We talk about what Revelation is for (and what it’s not), why the throne of God and the Lamb are the center of the book, and what “patient endurance” can look like in ordinary life.
