The Son: King in Waiting - Audio

Where is Jesus right now, and has he forgotten about the mess the world is still in? Two thousand years after his resurrection, evil hasn't been erased, suffering hasn't stopped, and Jesus still hasn't come back. So what happened to him? This episode traces what the New Testament actually says about Jesus after his ascension, that he returned to his Father's right hand as the reigning King, that he serves as our human advocate who understands exactly what it's like to be tired, hurting, and tempted, and that he promised he would come back. Pastor Chris Hirschy walks through Acts, Ephesians, Hebrews, and Matthew to show why Jesus' story feels paused rather than finished, and why that pause is actually good news. Along the way, this conversation gets honest about the tension of living between Jesus' departure and his return: how to hold onto hope when judgment still feels far off, why no one can know the day or the hour, and what it looks like to keep working, make disciples, and live the way of Jesus while we wait. If you've ever wondered whether Jesus abandoned us, or what he's actually doing right now, this episode is for you.
