Was the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD really the worst tribulation in history?

In this episode of the Olivet Discourse series, Matt Plett unpacks Matthew 24 and explains why Jesus described this event as unmatched in all of history. This wasn’t just physical devastation—it was a covenantal judgment. Jerusalem’s rejection of Christ marked the end of the Old Covenant world and the fulfillment of God’s promised curses.

Drawing from Scripture, historical records from Josephus, and insights from Matthew Henry and John Calvin, this episode shows how 70 AD stands as a decisive turning point in redemptive history. You’ll also see how Jesus’ warnings about false prophets, tribulation, and the “coming of the Son of Man” were fulfilled in this generation—not as the end of the world, but as a Day of the Lord's judgment. This episode will sharpen your understanding of Bible prophecy, strengthen your confidence in Scripture, and refocus your attention on the advance of the Gospel in history.

What does the sun have to do with leadership?

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird uncover a biblical pattern most people overlook: God didn’t just give commands about authority—He built it into creation itself.

From Genesis to the Psalms, the sun is portrayed as a ruler of the day, and that imagery reveals how authority is meant to function. This episode explores how true leadership is designed to give life, establish order, and operate within God-given limits—not dominate or distort.

If you want a clearer, biblical vision for authority in the home, church, and civil sphere, this framework changes how you see it.

Topics include:

- Why the sun is called a “ruler” in Scripture

- The purpose and limits of authority

- How leadership reflects God’s design in creation

- What happens when authority is distorted

In Acts 17, the early Christians were accused of “turning the world upside down.” Why? Because they preached a message Rome could not tolerate: there is another King—Jesus. This wasn’t private spirituality. It was a public declaration that challenged the authority of Caesar himself. That’s why mobs formed. That’s why rulers panicked. That’s why the charge was treason.

In this episode, Mike D’Virgilio breaks down what Acts 17 really means—and why the same message still disrupts the world today. The gospel doesn’t just change hearts. It confronts kingdoms.

I’m finally back home in Malaysia (at least for a little while) after a truly “round-the-world” trip, and today I want to briefly cover a few different topics including a critical ministry update in Iran and a strategic opportunity in China later this year.

Why the Prison Pulpit? 

The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

Host Casey Harper  is joined by Luke Niforatos from Smart Approaches to Marijuana to unpack the growing normalization of marijuana in America. They explore how harmful marijuana actually is, why the Trump Administration has been more open to it, and what’s actually happened in states that have legalized it. Luke pushes back on claims about medical marijuana, talks about its effects on memory and young men, and exposes the false claims that health professionals and studies are pushing.

There's a temptation in business to equate complexity with sophistication. The more layers a system has, the more thorough it must be. The more steps in the process, the more professional it looks. The bigger the spreadsheet, the more serious the operation. But complexity isn't a sign of maturity. More often, it's a sign that nobody did the harder work of making things simple.
