Citizen ATX

How many times, in recent years, have you heard someone talk about how "divided" the country is? We hear about it nearly every day, but why is it that we seem so divided? How are we as Christians to respond to people who have different beliefs than us? Join Matt and Stephen as they take a look at the state of today's culture and what role the Dual Citizen plays in it.

For those that grew up in the 2000's, you probably remember movies like "The Day After Tomorrow", which dealt with the idea of climate change. Whether it be in the form of Global Cooling in the 60's or Global Warming in the 2000's, Climate Change has been a hot button issue for quite some time. There is not doubt that this has become a politically charged point of disagreement between many people. Join Matt and Stephen as they discuss how we as Dual Citizens are to respond to this idea of climate change. 

As we step into this 2024 election season, it seems like abortion might one of the biggest issues on the ballot. This will be an important topic at the federal level, but especially at the state level as several states begin to shape legislation. So how are we as Christians to think about this issue? What can the Church do to help in this political climate? Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they discuss the topic of abortion. 

If you have paid any attention to the news in the first part of 2024, then you likely have seen that Israel and Hamas (Gaza) are at war. The back lash to this war has been highly politicized from the very beginning. So how are we as dual citizens supposed to react to situations like this one. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they open up our new series PreHeat. 

"And they all lived happily ever after." There is something inside of us that desires a good ending to a story. All the classic fairy tales follow this rule to end on a high note with everyone living happy together forever. The story of Revelation is even better than a fairy tale because it is true. Although there is wrath and judgement in this book, the great promise that we get from God is that: "All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen in this final episode of Revelation_Directors Cut.

"And they all lived happily ever after. The End." It is a joy to know that God's people will live forever with the Lord in Heaven. It is a story that far surpasses any fairytale story because it is true. In Revelation 22, John wraps up the entirety of his vision with some special  words for those that may read this book. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they unpack John's final words in this last episode of Revelation_Directors Cut.

For centuries humanity has been obsessed with creating stories of characters with the magical power to fix anything with the move of a wand or the snap of a finger. Stories like: Disney's "Fantasia", the old cartoon "Popeye the Sailor Man", or even "Harry Potter". While these are all fictional stories that every human could only dream of, the story of God creating a "New Heaven" and a "New Earth" are very much real! Join Matt, Stephen, and Jonathan as they discuss the new creation found in Revelation 21.

At this point in Revelation, Armageddon  is over and the anti-christ and the dragon are done for. However, Satan is still around. Also, everyone left on earth that hasn't chosen to follow Christ is killed and sent to Hades. What more is left to do? Join Jonathan, Matt, and Stephen to find out the next step of God's master plan in Revelation 20. 

What are your favorite battle scene speeches in cinematic history? My top two are: the Braveheart speech and Russell Crowe's final monologue from Gladiator. We all have this picture of what a great war hero looks like. However, Jesus' final battle will be much greater! Join Matt, Stephen, and Jonathan as they discuss the battle that is already won in Revelation 19:11-21.

"Here comes the bride..." Any of you married ladies remember the day of walking down the aisle? Do you remember how happy everyone was to see you? What about the reception afterwards? The church is referred to as the "Bride of Christ". This is, of course, a metaphor used to show how much Jesus loves us. Join Matt, Stephen, and Jonathan as they discuss this "Marriage Reception" found in Revelation 19:1-10.
