Ever been desperately looking for something, like your car keys, then it dawns on you where you left them, you run to that place and "Eureka", you found them!! What a sweet feeling. “Eureka” means “I found it!” Myke and Mike examine one key word that changes how we understand the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Twenty-two chapters, 404 verses, 11,952 words… and "Eureka" here it is, one little word that packs a punch that has changed the world.

The great theological question, does God REALLY have a sense of humor?  Plain old laughing-out-loud situations or illustrations to teach a serious point? Some versions of modern Christianity are so dead-pan serious about everything that what is in the Bible is always taken without an ounce of delight or humor.

We happen to think that God has incredible sense of humor, to be honest, all we have to do is look in the mirror to get that one

Revelation is always taken in an absolutely humorless way. But we see something happen three times in the book –the first time, it is very serious, and the next two times are just plain funny! Watch this video and see what we are thinking about.

Ok, this one might just make you want to really read the book/play we are calling “Experiencing Revelation” on February 1, 2022. Today Myke and Mike take on some more language issues that seem to be missed, possibly, in the interpretations. So before you start going, “no way” give us a listen, and put some critical thought into the discussion today, could Greek word “ekkelsia” have been misinterpreted in Revelation? Have fun, because we are enjoying sharing with you.

Ok, here's a great way to end the year, or begin the next one, Armageddon!!! Just an easy, soft subject to relax with, actually maybe all that fear, hype of death, dying and destruction is just that, hype, not biblical but... you get the picture, sort of. Well Myke and Mike want to make the picture clearer. One of hope! One that transforms! One that we all need. Coming soon, the true launch of Experiencing Revelation, February 1, 2022. Happy New Year!!

Well we have finally done it:) This one will get your motor running and hopefully your brain engaged in actually reading through Revelation in one sitting. Ever done it. We challenge you to take the time to read it, in it's entirety, in one sitting. Go for it! We believe, and quite frankly know, context is pretty much the ball game in correctly understanding the Bible. So Myke and Mike wade into some pretty deep waters on this one. Enjoy and by the way, Merry Christmas.

The journey continues in "Experiencing Revelation"! Today Myke and Mike talk about the phrase, "Please Come". In our world it can be spoken in a variety of emphasis but in the context of Revelation it is connected to specific Greek words. We hope you will find this one fun and a challenge to keep going in understanding Revelation in maybe a new and fresh light. Our book releases February 1,

The Dragon is a huge character in Revelation, but is it really a dragon as we think of them. Fire breathing, flying, scaley, huge reptilian body, sharp claws, huge nasty needle like teeth and a nasty disposition. Once again Myke and Mike wander into an area shall we say that might have a bit of controversy but give a listen and you might find we are on to something. February 1, 2022 “Experiencing Revelation” the book, will be out. Until next week.

Words matter. Mystery is one of those words in Revelation. Myke and Mike unpack the translation or shall we say the non translation of this very important word in Revelation. Hope you enjoy it. As always we welcome your thoughts. February 1, 2022 the book will be out!

666 is probably one of the best known numbers from the Bible out there. Yes, we have a very different take on what that number means or doesn’t mean. So before you totally write us off as nut cases, give it a listen with an open mind and see what you think. Let us now, in a loving friendly type of way;). Until next time.

So what was John really doing on the island of Patmos? Myke and Mike continue the discussion of some very different possibilities of what John was actually doing during his time on Patmos. We invite you to think with us of the very real possibility that John was continuing his life long theme of revealing who Jesus Christ is as we think together on what Revelation is all about. Enjoy!
