In this episode we look at four eschatological viewpoints: historical premillennialism, postmillenialism, amillennialism, and dispensationalist premillennialism. We look at a little of the history behind these views, their implications, and why Left Behind can't be our lens for understanding final things!
As we get close to the end of the early church series, we learn how persecution played a role in the spread of the gospel and how today's American culture parallels Ancient Rome.

The early church developed quickly and expanded fast. How did they worship God in those early years? Many denominations claim to follow the pattern of the early church, but do they? In this episode we will look at how the early church "did" church at their gatherings, and how it laid the groundwork for what we do today.
In this episode we meet ten figures of the early church: five men and five women who shaped the culture of the first 500 years. A common theme in this era is the challenge of Rome's idolatry: will these women and men burn incense to the emperor, or will they choose Christ and die? Learn how their lives model a faith for us today.
The early church faced a lot of heresies in their first 500 years. Arianism, Gnosticism, and Docetism threatened the church's teaching and forced them to refine their teaching to match the gospel. In this episode, you'll journey through three major creeds and five major councils!
Dive into the history of the church as we look at the culture, governments, historical events and social shifts that shaped its first 500 years!
