13 MAR 2025 · We're at week #2 of student teaching month, and this week we have Ethan Shannon sharing about his experience with fearing the world vs. fearing God, and what we can all learn from it!
Thanks for joining us, let's get into it :)
7 MAR 2025 · Last week, in our first episode on spiritual warfare, we addressed two very important points: 1.) there is a pantheon of spiritual beings, and 2.) God created them to rule with Him in the heavenly places.
Of course, "warfare" implies that not all spiritual beings are friendly. There has to be an enemy if there is to be warfare. In our second part of our sub-series on spiritual warfare, we talk about the Biblical evidence that supports the fact that there are rebellious spiritual beings out there who are opposed to the will of God, and we outline this but unpacking three scenes of spiritual Rebellion, all of which can be found in the first 11 chapters of Genesis :)
Thanks for joining us! Let's get into it :)
6 MAR 2025 · March marks the beginning of "Student Teaching Month" at Mission Hill Youth! For the next four weeks you will be hearing lessons from some of the youth who attend our youth group. Our very first student is a young man named Joschua McCurley, who walked us through Ephesians 2:10. Have a listen, and enjoy!
27 FEB 2025 · One of the most controversial subjects in Christianity, at least in the west, is the concept of spiritual warfare. Some believe it doesn't even exist. Others believe it's real but has nothing to do with us. Still, others believe we are intimately involved with it.
It may be surprising to you to know that spiritual warfare is treated as a reality in the book of Revelation! From monsters that arise from the earth to each church having an "angel", the spiritual realm seems to litter much of this incredible book. Because of this, we gotta talk about it!
So join us for part 1 of our 3 part series on spiritual warfare! In this episode we'll lay out two key points to understanding spiritual warfare: that God has created a diverse pantheon of spiritual beings, and they were created by Him to rule with Him in the unseen realm.
Thanks for joining us, let's get into it :)
20 FEB 2025 · Revelation 6 begins the first set of "7's" that are found in the book of Revelation: the 7 seals, the 7 trumpets, the 7 signs, and the seven bowls. Each set of "7's" ends with the Day of the Lord. But what is "the Day of the Lord"? And what will happen when it comes? Who are the four horsemen, and what do they have to tell us about the world we live in today? Lastly, who are the "144,000"?
If you've ever been curious about any of these questions, or if you've never even thought about them but reading the description of this episode has you curious, then have a listen as we unpack the first 6 seals of Revelation.
We're glad you're here! Let's get into it :)
13 FEB 2025 · We had a weird week this week. We had no youth group due to the weather, so we had no lesson, but it was too early for our next episode in our Revelation bonus content. What's a youth pastor and pastoral intern to do?
Well, you create a new podcast series!
Welcome to the first episode in our "Apologetics On Demand" (name pending) series! The point of this series is for Braden and I to ask each other questions about the faith, and then we have to answer those questions without having done any previous research or prep. Why? Because 90% of the time that's exactly how life goes for the believer! 9 times out of 10 we will be asked a question on the fly, and we'll have to be prepared to give a reason for the hope that we have on demand.
The rules are simple: Braden and I will flip-flop asking each other common questions about the faith without having told each other what those questions are. We then must answer that question without having prepped for it. We are allowed to say "I don't know, but I will do research and come back to you" if we don't feel comfortable answering the question, because it's okay to say that in real life too!
We hope you enjoy this first episode. Today's questions were:
Is original sin biblical?
Did Jesus actually suffer anything if He only died for three days?
What are your thoughts on Lucifer?
Can God create a rock that's too heavy for Him to lift?
How would you debate a Jehovah's Witness?
Welcome! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
6 FEB 2025 · Revelation 5 is probably one of the better known chapters of the entire book. And for good reason! It's got Lions, Roots, Lambs, Scrolls, and more, and contained in these 14 verses is, what I would argue, the crux of the entire book of Revelation. In other words, if you want to understand the heart of Revelation, you need to understand what's going on in this chapter, and what it means "to conquer".
So welcome! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
23 JAN 2025 · Did you know that there are almost 500 allusions to the Old Testament in the book of Revelation? ALMOST 500!!!! That number varies depending on the commentary, but still, ALMOST 500!!! That's A LOT of Old Testament allusions crammed into a 22 chapter book.
Now, we could take that statistic and log it away in our "Interesting Fun Facts about Revelation" folders and never think about it again, but if we did that, then we wouldn't be reading Revelation well. The fact that John weaves almost 500 Old Testament allusions into Revelation tells us that not only does John love the Old Testament, he also sees it as vital to understanding the message he's communicating through the book itself.Â
In other words, if you want to understand Revelation well, then you need to understand the Old Testament.
Join us as we do a quick dive into the 8 ways in which John uses the Old Testament in the book of Revelation! We're glad you're here with us, let's get into it :)
17 JAN 2025 · We have officially moved beyond the messages to the 7 churches, and now we are starting to get into the crazy phrophetic/apocalyptic stuff, and it all starts with Revelation 4. Here we see John being whisked away through a door in the heavens, where he gets to witness something that very few mortals have ever seen: the very throne room of God. This week, our pastoral intern Braden Shannon walks us through Revelation 4, as well as answers the questions: who do we worship? Why do we worship? And how do we worship?
Thanks for joining us! We're glad you're here, let's get into it!
10 JAN 2025 · After a three week hiatus for the Christmas season, we're back at it again with our series through Revelation! This episode is a little different though. Because we've had three weeks off, and because we're transitioning into the crazier, more "apocalyptic" stuff of Revelation, we felt it was necessary to do a recap of Jesus' messages to the churches in chapters 2-3, as well as do a refresher on the genres of Revelation, and finally end with a macro overview of chapters 4-22. So this episode is very information heavy, but it's necessary for us as we transitions into the meat of Revelation.
So welcome! Thanks for joining us, let's get into it :)
