  The Beast That Died and Came Back: Rome, Nero, and Revelation’s Deadly Wound 16.09.2026 8мин

  What if Revelation’s beast with the fatal wound was not a prediction of a future global apocalypse, but a powerful image rooted in the chaos of first-century Rome? This episode examines Nero’s death, the Year of the Four Emperors, the terrifying Nero Redivivus legend, and Vespasian’s rise to power. By comparing Revelation’s imagery with the near-collapse and dramatic recovery of the Roman Empire, it presents a historically grounded case that the beast’s “deadly wound” and healing were realities the original audience would have immediately understood.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  God Has Not Abandoned You in the Fire 14.09.2026 26мин

  Why does God allow Christians to suffer? How should believers respond when suffering comes through sickness, loss, persecution, broken relationships, or the ordinary pain of life in a fallen world? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing walks through what Scripture teaches about suffering, God’s sovereignty, persecution, and the presence of Christ in the valley.Looking at Genesis 3, Romans 8, Joseph, the cross of Christ, Psalm 23, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Stephen, Polycarp, and the persecuted church throughout history, Cory reminds believers that suffering is not evidence that God has abandoned His people.Instead, Christians can endure because Christ is present with them, sovereign over their suffering, and preparing them for eternal glory.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Christianity Was Never Supposed to Be This Weak 14.09.2026 18мин

  Is Christianity only about personal salvation—or is the gospel meant to transform the world?In this episode of The Based Boomer Podcast, Mike D’Virgilio challenges the idea that Christianity should remain a private faith concerned only with individual salvation and personal holiness.Drawing from Scripture, Mike argues that Christ’s reign has implications for every area of life—and that Christians should expect the gospel to bear fruit in families, churches, cultures, and nations.From Colossians 2 and Psalm 110 to 1 Corinthians 15 and the Great Commission, Mike lays out a biblical vision of Christ’s advancing kingdom and explains why Christians have every reason to labor with confidence rather than retreat in defeat.The gospel was never meant to stay private. Christ is King, the Great Commission is still our mission, and Christians should live with great expectations for what God will accomplish in the world.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  The Servant Jesus Called Wicked and Lazy 11.09.2026 16мин

  Will people be judged for failing to use what God has entrusted to them? In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the talents—a sobering picture of servants awaiting the return of their master.Pastor Brian Gunter continues his series through the Olivet Discourse, examining what this parable teaches about faithfulness, stewardship, and our responsibility while we await Christ’s return. God has entrusted His people with gifts, opportunities, resources, and time—and He expects His servants to put them to work for His kingdom.What does it mean to bury your talent? Why was the unfaithful servant condemned? And what does this warning mean for Christians today?The Christian life is not one of passive waiting. Christ calls His people to faithful, fruitful service until He comes.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  The Great Commission Is Bigger Than Personal Evangelism 10.09.2026 59мин

  In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by Alex Kocman to examine Matthew 28:18–20 and Christ’s command to disciple the nations.They discuss the Greek construction of the Great Commission, the meaning of “all nations,” and the relationship between evangelism, discipleship, the Church, and the civil magistrate.What does it mean for Christ to possess all authority in heaven and on earth? Are Christians called merely to make individual converts, or does the Great Commission have implications for families, cultures, rulers, and nations?Josh and Alex also discuss missions, Christian nationalism, ordered loves, household discipleship, and what faithful Christian labor looks like under the universal lordship of Jesus Christ.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Was Nero’s Lover a Secret Christian? The Mystery of Claudia Acte 09.09.2026 7мин

  Who was Claudia Acte—and why did she remain loyal to Nero when virtually everyone else abandoned him?In this episode, Jay Rogers examines the remarkable story of Claudia Acte, a former slave who became one of Nero Caesar’s closest companions and remained connected to him through the darkest years of his reign. Against the backdrop of Nero’s persecution of Christians, the collapse of his rule, and his violent death, Acte emerges as one of the most intriguing figures surrounding the infamous emperor.But was Claudia Acte herself a Christian?We separate the historical evidence from later Christian tradition, examine what ancient sources actually tell us about Acte, and consider why her extraordinary act of mercy toward Nero has fueled centuries of speculation.Her story provides a fascinating glimpse into the world surrounding Nero, the early Christians, and the first-century setting of Revelation.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Why Weve Got Discipleship All Wrong 07.09.2026 30мин

  What does biblical discipleship actually look like? Is it a program, a class, a conference, or something much more personal?In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores the biblical pattern of discipleship: following Christ while intentionally helping others do the same.From Jesus and His disciples to Paul and Timothy, Titus 2, Deuteronomy 6, and the Great Commission, Scripture presents discipleship as something woven into ordinary Christian life.Cory discusses proximity, intentional relationships, spiritual accountability, intergenerational wisdom, family discipleship, and the importance of Christians simply doing life together within the local church.Discipleship isn't merely something the church schedules. It's part of what the church is.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Biblical Theology vs. Systematic Theology: Why You Need Both 05.09.2026 13мин

  Should Christians prefer systematic theology or biblical theology?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, George Sayour explains why the church needs both. Systematic theology gathers everything Scripture teaches on a doctrine and organizes it clearly, while biblical theology traces how God unfolds those doctrines through redemptive history.Using examples from covenant theology, Christology, David, Adam, Goliath, and the greater Son of David, George shows how biblical theology helps us see the shadows that point forward to Christ without abandoning the doctrinal clarity of systematic theology.This episode calls Christians to recover the beautiful tapestry of Scripture by learning to read both the whole and the parts together.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Is Christian Nationalism Really a Dangerous Error? | Responding to Phil Johnson 02.09.2026 1ч 13мин

  Is Christian nationalism a dangerous eschatological error—or does the debate reveal a much deeper disagreement about Christ’s rule over nations?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by guest host Cory Wing to respond to Phil Johnson’s recent comments on Christian nationalism and postmillennialism.They examine whether nations can become Christian, whether the church is called to transform culture, the proper distinction between church and state, and whether civil government can ever truly be morally neutral.Along the way, Josh and Cory interact with questions surrounding John MacArthur, Grace Community Church, Covid-era government overreach, Psalm 2, Psalm 82, Isaiah 11, the Great Commission, and John 18.Can Christian political theology acknowledge Christ’s authority over rulers and nations without confusing the distinct roles of church and state?Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  How Nero Died—and Why It Matters for Revelation 01.09.2026 6мин

  Did the Beast of Revelation already fall in the first century?In this episode, Jay Rogers examines the dramatic final years of Nero Caesar and the events that brought the Roman emperor's reign to a violent end.From political rebellion and military defections to Nero's suicide and the chaos that followed, this study explores whether Revelation's imagery of judgment and the downfall of the Beast finds its fulfillment in the historical record.Jay traces the collapse of Nero's empire, the Year of the Four Emperors, and the impact these events had on the early church.He also examines key passages in Revelation that many scholars connect to Nero and first-century Rome, offering historical context often overlooked in modern prophecy discussions.If Revelation was written before AD 70, Nero's downfall may not simply be Roman history—it may be one of the most significant fulfilled prophecies in the New Testament.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  What Christians Should Learn From the G3 Scandal 01.09.2026 13мин

  What happens when sound theology is separated from a living love for Christ?In this special episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to the controversy surrounding G3 and the public failures of prominent Christian leaders.Drawing from Paul’s warning about Demas in 2 Timothy 4, Richard considers how theological knowledge and public ministry can never substitute for personal holiness, humility, and faithfulness to Christ.Pride, influence, money, bitterness, and hidden sin can ensnare anyone. This is not merely a warning about other leaders or ministries—it is a call for every Christian to examine himself, love Christ, cherish his family, remain rooted in the local church, and take heed lest he fall.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Justice Doesn’t Belong to Your Political Tribe 31.08.2026 27мин

  What is justice according to the Bible—and who gets to define it? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing argues that justice does not begin with politics, social media, slogans, or cultural movements, but with the character of God Himself.Walking through Deuteronomy 32, Micah 6, Leviticus 19, Proverbs 17, Ecclesiastes 8, Romans 13, Matthew 18, and the cross of Christ, Cory shows that biblical justice is impartial, truthful, merciful, humble, and rooted in God’s holiness.Christians are called to reject partiality, protect the vulnerable, tell the truth, confront evil, pursue restoration, and trust the righteous Judge who will ultimately set all things right.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Why Were The 10 Commandments Inside The Ark of the Covenant? 31.08.2026 10мин

  Why did God place the Ten Commandments inside the Ark of the Covenant—and then cover them with the mercy seat and sacrificial blood?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour examines one of the clearest pictures of law, grace, and redemption in the Old Testament.From the tablets of the Law to the mercy seat and sacrificial blood, the Ark points beyond itself to the fulfillment found in Christ. Drawing from Exodus 25, Hebrews 9–10, John 1, Matthew 5, and Romans 10, George shows how the Mosaic Covenant's types and shadows anticipate the substance: Christ fulfilling the Law, providing atonement for sin, and giving righteousness to those who receive Him by faith.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Stop Using Earthquakes as End-Times Clickbait 28.08.2026 39мин

  Are modern earthquakes, wars, and global chaos signs that Jesus is about to return?In this episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to popular end-times claims surrounding Matthew 24 and the tendency to interpret every earthquake, war, or disaster as evidence that the end is near.Richard examines Jesus’ words about wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, and the “end of the age” in their original context. Were these warnings primarily about events thousands of years in the future—or about the judgment coming upon Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70?Instead of reading today’s headlines back into biblical prophecy, Richard challenges Christians to read Matthew 24 in context, abandon sensational “newspaper exegesis,” and recover a more confident view of Christ’s kingdom and its advance throughout history.What do you think? Are modern earthquakes signs of the end—or have Christians been reading Matthew 24 incorrectly?

  Did the PCA Sin by Leaving the PCUSA? | Redeemed Zoomer & Schism 27.08.2026 59мин

  Are the PCA and OPC schismatic churches, or were they right to separate from corrupt mainline denominations?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird discuss the theology of schism, ecclesiastical jurisdiction, Redeemed Zoomer’s argument for reconquering the PCUSA, and whether conservatives have a duty to remain inside broken institutions.They explore what constitutes a true church, when separation is justified, the difference between unity and compromise, the Old Testament temple argument, Presbyterian history in America, and why Christians should pursue real unity in faith, hope, and love without pretending doctrinal corruption does not matter.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  AI Wants to Redefine What It Means to Be Human | C.R. Wiley 26.08.2026 38мин

  What happens when technology stops merely serving humanity—and starts trying to redefine what it means to be human?Pastor George Sayour is joined by author C.R. Wiley to discuss his book Man Made: A Guide to Surviving the AI Apocalypse and the Christian response to artificial intelligence and transhumanism.They explore the connections between AI, the transhumanist dream, Francis Bacon, human “hacking,” consciousness, golems, robots, and humanity's ancient temptation to overcome the limits God has placed upon us.Wiley argues that Christians don't need to fear every use of artificial intelligence. But as technology becomes increasingly powerful, Christians must remain rooted in the real, embodied, analog world God created—and resist the temptation to remake humanity in man's own image. https://canonpress.com/products/manma...Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

  Why Christians Misunderstand the “Gates of Hell” 25.08.2026 16мин

  What did Jesus mean when He declared that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” against His church?In this episode of The Based Boomer Podcast, Mike D’Virgilio challenges the idea that Christians should expect the church to remain permanently on the defensive. Gates are defensive structures—and Christ’s promise in Matthew 16 presents a church advancing against the kingdom of darkness, not hiding from it.Drawing from Matthew 12 and 16, Colossians 1, Ephesians 1, and Revelation 20, Mike examines Christ’s victory over Satan through His death, resurrection, and ascension. The strong man has been bound, Christ reigns, and His people have been commissioned to carry the gospel into the world.The question isn’t whether the gates of hell will overcome Christ’s church. Jesus has already told us they won’t. The question is whether Christians actually believe His promise.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<
