Explore why following Jesus is worthwhile even when life doesn't 'work out' as expected, and how understanding the symbolic imagery in Revelation's final battles can deepen your faith and resilience. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into listeners' challenging questions about faith, deconstruction, and the purpose of following Jesus amidst disappointment. They also unpack Revelation 19 and 20, shedding light on the symbolic nature of the battle scenes and judgments, and preview discussions on the concepts of the Lake of Fire and being 'outside the city.'

  • Symbolism in Revelation's Final Battles – Unveiling the symbolic and apocalyptic imagery of Revelation 19 and 20, including the battle scenes, the dragon, and the lake of fire.
