In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers. From Israel at Sinai to the New Covenant in Christ, Scripture reveals that every Christian has direct access to God through Jesus, our perfect High Priest. What does it mean to be part of a royal priesthood? How should that shape your worship, service, and daily life? Cory explains how believers are called to offer spiritual sacrifices, proclaim God’s excellencies, and live faithfully in every sphere of life.

Did Irenaeus really teach that Revelation was written during the reign of Domitian? In Episode 11 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers examines one of the most frequently cited arguments for the late date of Revelation and asks whether the evidence has been misunderstood for centuries. The famous statement from Irenaeus is often presented as the decisive proof that Revelation was written in the 90s AD. But what did Irenaeus actually mean? And does the original Greek support the common interpretation?

In this episode:

The famous "time of Domitian" statement

The disputed Greek grammar behind the passage

Why this quotation became so influential

The implications for the dating of Revelation

How the debate affects the identity of the Beast and the fall of Jerusalem

Could the strongest argument for the late date actually be weaker than many assume?

Today the Pugs welcome Hillsdale Professor and historian, Brad Birzer to the Pugcast to discuss his forthcoming book on the Inklings 'Tolkien and the Inklings: Men of the West'. As long time listeners know, we’re fanboys of the Inklings and we think Brad is pretty great too. Brad is a prolific author and an old friend of Chris (he wrote the introduction to Chris’s book on Tom Bombadil). We think you’ll like him as well, and if you’re like the Pugs, you’ll learn something new about the Inklings!

I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, recording today from Lima, Peru…

I’m in a bit of a hurry today, but wanted to touch on a few different things. First, I wanted to mention the tragic earthquake that happened in Venezuela the other day and what I know. Second, every time the World Cup rolls around I remember my first World Cup viewing experience, which took place 20 years ago in a little dodgy hotel in the Tibetan Outback (2006). I also remember the second most unique viewing experience, which was 8 years later, and also in the foothills of Tibet. (I also remember playing in our little Tibetan World Cup at 13,000 ft!)

After the World Cup recollections, we look at a new article published by an old American friend who has decades of experience in China….

Today David gives his answer to whether the following statement in the Declaration of Independence is more influenced by enlightenment hubris than sound Christian theology: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." The difference between the one and the other is manifest in a new version he's authored and would encourage future generations to bring to fruition.

Has the Great Tribulation already happened… or is it still to come? In this study through Matthew 24, Pastor Brian Gunter examines one of the most debated questions in biblical prophecy: what did Jesus mean when He warned about the coming “Great Tribulation”? Focusing on the Olivet Discourse, Brian walks carefully through Christ’s words concerning the abomination of desolation, the destruction of Jerusalem, and the possibility of a future fulfillment beyond A.D. 70. Along the way, he challenges common assumptions about end-times theology while comparing Scripture with Scripture. Whether you hold to preterism, historic premillennialism, amillennialism, or are simply trying to understand Matthew 24 more clearly, this episode offers a serious and thoughtful look at one of the Bible’s most important prophetic passages.

Today, David applies the Apostle Paul's declaration that true wisdom and knowledge are found in the revelation of "the mystery of God, of the Father and of Christ (Colossians 2:3) to a famous sentence sentence in the Declaration of Independence often quoted by Christians. Does that statement contain a clue that the signatories had been taken captive by the vain philosophies of men? Today he sets the stage for the concluding answer he will release tomorrow. Don’t miss either episode.
