Hey friends, welcome back to Jesus the Legend. I’m really excited about today’s guest—Peter Hiett.

I first came across Peter years ago through a YouTube video called Hallelujah in Hell. At the time, I wasn’t sure what to make of it—creepy music, chalkboards, dark rooms, Arielle singing, and some seriously strange (but intriguing) theology. Still, it stuck with me.

Later on, I heard him on David Artman’s podcast and realized—wait, that’s the same guy! Since then, I’ve really enjoyed his teaching.

Peter is the son of a Presbyterian pastor and went from studying geology to earning his M.Div. at Fuller Seminary. He’s written several books, has tons of teaching online and he’s been pastoring The Sanctuary in Denver since 2008. He’s been ordained by multiple branches of the Presbyterian Church, and he and his high school sweetheart, Susan, have been married since 1983. They’ve got four kids—whom Peter says he likes most of the time.

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to chat with him today and I’m sure you will love it.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Jesus the Legend—a podcast where we’re doing our best to uncover the beauty and depth of God’s story, often in ways that surprise and transform us. I’m so happy you’re here today, because we’re dipping our toes into the book of Revelation… and we’re going to go all the way to the end because if you stop at the lake of fire, you miss something profound. In fact, I believe you’ll miss the heart of the whole thing. I’m guilty of doing it for many years… it’s like once I hit Chapter 20, my brain stopped taking in what God was saying.

For most of my Christian walk, I was mentally stuck at the great judgment… books being opened and names being read. So, I’m going to START there…. because that’s where the story seemed to end for me for so long.

Today we have a very special guest—John Crowder. I’ve known John for years, and while he’s certainly stirred up controversy in some religious circles, I genuinely believe that if people would take the time to listen to him, get to know him, and hear his heart, they’d see that his deepest desire is for people to encounter Jesus in a real and transformative way.

My sense is that many of his critics haven’t taken the time to understand him. They hear one thing that offends them, make a snap judgment, and write him off. But that kind of quick dismissal often misses the heart behind the message—and in John’s case, that heart is all about Jesus.

John loves to push the envelope and provoke people to extreme joy, radical grace and contemplative wonder through the scandalous, liberating good news of humanity’s union with God in Jesus Christ. Based in Oregon with Lily, his wife of 23 years, and their children, John is an internationally recognized author, speaker and advocate of Trinitarian theology. John brings a Christological lens to his teaching, with openness to supernatural expression.

You can find him everywhere… all over Social Media, YouTube… his website is johncrowder.net… he's written tonnes of books… he speaks all over the world … he's got e-courses and t-shirts. Honestly, lob a ball with his name written on it in just about any direction and you'll find him.

Hope this chat blesses you… I know it did me… you guys are amazing!
