Sean is a Christian Apologist and podcaster.

What is the Abomination of Desolation—and has it already happened, or is it still coming?

In this episode, we explore one of the most debated topics in biblical prophecy, diving into the books of Revelation and Daniel to unpack the meaning behind the “Abomination of Desolation.” We discuss the destruction of the temple in 70 AD, the concept of prophecy having both “already” and “not yet” fulfillment, and what a future version of this event could look like.

We also tackle modern questions surrounding faith and technology:
• Could artificial intelligence play a role in end times prophecy?
• Why do humans seem wired for morality, purpose, and judgment?
• Are apocalyptic ideas something we naturally understand?

This is a deep, thought-provoking conversation that blends theology, philosophy, and modern culture in a way that’s accessible and engaging.

In this episode, we sit down with Gregg Hull, mayor of Rio Rancho, for a conversation about leadership, public safety, infrastructure, and the future of New Mexico.

Hull explains how Rio Rancho has approached growth, crime, and business development through data-driven planning and local decision-making. He shares why he believes strong communities—not one-size-fits-all policies—are the key to solving statewide challenges, and discusses what led him to launch a campaign for governor.

We also talk about education, homelessness, hiring qualified professionals in government, and why he views public service as delivering measurable results for taxpayers.

This episode offers a practical look at how leadership decisions at the local level can shape the future of an entire state.
