In this episode we begin a brief series on the study of the end times, referred to commonly as eschatological studies in theological circles.
The first concept we discuss is preterism, which is a belief that all Biblical prophecy came to pass before AD70 and the destruction of Jerusalem.We discuss this with our guest, Daniel Rogers! Daniel has published his work on his website and on his youtube channel.

This episode is part 2 of our interview with Biblical scholar and published scientist, Dr. Denis Lamoureux.
We've referenced his work on the podcast before, and we were thrilled to have Dr. Lamoureux join us for a wonderful discussion about the synthesis between what science shows us and what the scriptures teach us.
Dr. Lamoureux is the author of several books, and has provided what is largely considered to be the best, most accessible work on the subject of the Bible and Evolution. Below are links to Dr. Lamoureux's TED talk, his books, and his website.

In our previous episodes we discussed the dichotomy that exists between science and faith, discussing some of the scientific errors in scripture. In this episode, we discuss some interpretive strategies people have used to reconcile those concepts with one another, and Lee details which strategy he found most helpful and why.
We intend to wrap up this series with a Q&A, and we'd love to hear your questions so we can (hopefully!) answer them!

What does it mean to Explore Faith?
Everyone has a belief system. We believe what we believe in large part because of what we've been taught by our parents, grandparents, pastors, and faith leaders.
But what happens when our inherited belief systems no longer serve us? What happens when our faith divides rather than unites, causes strife instead of peace, and brings angst and anxiety in place of freedom and joy?
Kevin Pendergrass and Lee Grant found themselves asking these questions and began the process of exploring their belief systems in search of something better than what had been handed down to them. In their exploration of their faith, they found a God that loves all, whose grace is far bigger than they could have ever imagined.
