End Times and Discipleship (GH) | Ep 109

Why do our views of the end times matter for discipleship?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 108 with Dr. Darrell Bock on the kingdom of God, Progressive Dispensationalism, Israel, cultural engagement, and Christian mission.The conversation asks why end-times views are not merely abstract theology or speculative debate. How we understand the future shapes how we live today. If the mission of Jesus is only a rescue operation from a doomed world, we may relate to culture, creation, justice, institutions, and our neighbors in one way. If the Kingdom is already breaking into the world through Jesus and His people, we may live with a very different sense of purpose.Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc explore the difference between “splitter” and “joiner” approaches to Scripture, how Christians think about Israel and the church, why some followers of Jesus hold to a rapture and tribulation while others do not, and how these views shape our understanding of the cross, resurrection, new creation, and the Kingdom of God.They also reflect on Dr. Bock’s tone: gracious, curious, bridge-building, and willing to hold conviction without hostility. Deep discipleship requires more than being right. It requires learning how to wrestle well, listen carefully, love our neighbor, and represent the Kingdom regardless of how history unfolds.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
