The Book of Revelation // Doug Van Dorn

The Book of Revelation can seem mysterious, dark, and confusing to read.  Pastor Doug Van Dorn has come to discuss a way of reading this portion of holy writ (the chiastic way) as the ancient mind would have understood it.  This episode will give you an entirely new, better perspective of this book, and hopefully drive you to read it with fresh, demystified, hopeful eyes!    Our guest can be found here: https://www.douglasvandorn.com [https://www.douglasvandorn.com]   Doug's podcast, Giant Steps, can be found here: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=1712773620 [tel:1712773620]

God Rest Ye Merry // Doug Wilson

Are you a superstitious Christian afraid of tripping into paganism during the holidays? Is Christmas merely recycled, ancient idol worship? Should Christmas bother the conscience? Or, is Christmas jolly warfare to be waged heartily?

Bart Schleyer // The Last Wild Man

September 14, 2004, Reid Lake in the Yukon backcountry was the final time a world class bowhunter, wildlife biologist, and expert outdoorsman would be seen alive.  The subsequent discoveries and evidence surrounding the disappearance raised far more questions than answers, and remains an open case 19 years later. This is the unsettling story of Bart Schleyer.

The Rational Mind and Self Control (feat. Saju Abraham, L.P.C.)

In a culture that rejects logic and reasoning, a healthy dose of critical thinking is long over due. In this episode we discuss rational thinking, what that looks like, how to get there, and how at the bottom of most problems in life is the issue of self control.  We also get into some of the tussles between weak, needy church leadership and those who want a return to discipline and productivity.  Saju Abraham can be located here: https://www.abrahamcoachingandconsulting.com/ [https://www.abrahamcoachingandconsulting.com/]
