🎙️ Issues Podcast — “Dispensationalism: A Biblical Defense”

In this timely and engaging episode, Stephen Russ sits down with Martin Wickens and Joe Shakour to discuss one of the most debated theological subjects today: Dispensationalism—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters more than ever.

This episode speaks to:

What the Bible means by “dispensation” and how Scripture itself shows God dealing with humanity in distinct stewardships

Why hyper-dispensationalism is dangerous, especially when it alters the Gospel or invents multiple ways of salvation

How to think biblically about Israel today without collapsing into political reactionism or cultural pressure

Why covenant promises to Israel still matter—not because Israel is perfect, but because God is faithful

How a literal hermeneutic preserves clarity, consistency, and confidence in the Word of God

Where premillennial hope fits into the believer’s daily life, not as speculation, but as comfort and motivation

This episode cuts through noise and social-media theology, calling believers back to a simple, Scriptural, Christ-honoring framework for understanding God’s plan through the ages.
