12: Jovan Mackenzy, the Parousia, and Eschatology 101

Hosted by Adam Moore, John Howell, Dustin Ranem, Colin Pearson

Dustin was gone this week, but somehow we managed to keep the humor for the first segment. Jovan Mackenzy (Von Frasier), creator of the original #DatPostmil intro song, joined us to confront our Batman blasphemies from Episode 10. We took his rebuke into consideration and charged forward with some meatier eschatological discourse. In the second segment, we discussed the four primary views concerning the millennium of Revelation 20 (DispensationalismHistoric PremillennialismAmillennialism, and Postmillennialism) as well as the origins and history behind those terms. After that we discussed the various views concerning the New Testament use of the Greek term Parousia—the “coming” of Christ. We wrapped it all up in the last segment with a brief synopsis of the four basic interpretive frameworks for New Testament prophetic literature (FuturismPreterismHistoricismIdealism) and how they relate to the four primary views on the millennium!

244: Classical Education Part 1: A Dominion-Perspective

Hosted by Andrea Schwartz

In this episode of the Out of the Question Podcast we address: “What makes an education classical?” and “Is it a good fit for believers in their pursuit to further the Kingdom of God and take dominion in Jesus’ name?” Cathey Brown helps us answer these questions in this first of a four-part series.

Part 1/4 serves as a general introduction while demonstrating the relevancy for all, regardless of where one is in the educational journey.

Summary

  • The general public and Christians view classical education as a traditional and academically rigorous approach, but many may not fully understand what it entails.
  • The hosts emphasize the importance of parents being involved in their children’s education and having a clear goal in homeschooling.
  • They explore the relationship between education, religion, and one’s ultimate concerns, highlighting the need for a biblical foundation.
  • The episode also addresses concerns about neutrality in education, the role of worldview in curriculum choices, and the need to evaluate materials based on biblical standards.
