  1. Ragamuffin Gospel - Wonder and Grace

    The Ragamuffin Gospel, Chapters 5 & 6 I asked for wonder. He gave it to me. In this session, we worked through chapters 5 and 6 of The Ragamuffin Gospel together — and they turned out to be two halves of one movement: wonder, and then what wonder produces. Chapter 5, "Cormorants and Kittiwakes,"…

  2. Ragamuffin Gospel - Tilted Halos

    The Ragamuffin Gospel, Chapters 3 & 4 Jesus is, like, totally intense about ragamuffins. That's how Brennan Manning first heard it — from a couple of valley girls — and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Because it's funny, and it's also exactly right. In this session, we worked...

  3. Ragamuffin Gospel - Grace, Drunk Straight

    This week in Beyond Sunday School we dove into the first two chapters of Brennan Manning's The Ragamuffin Gospel — "Something Is Radically Wrong" and "The Magnificent Monotony." (And yes, I deeply appreciate a preacher who can nail the alliteration.) I opened the session with a question, and I…

  4. Introduction - What's So Amazing About Grace?

    Welcome back to Beyond Sunday School! This season, we are shifting gears from our deep dive into Revelation to focus an entire year on a single, transformative topic: Grace. To kick off our journey, Dan introduces the book that will guide our initial conversations—Brennan Manning’s classic, The...

  5. Revelation 15 - Home at Last

    We close out our journey through Revelation with chapters 20, 21, and 22 — the final judgment, the new heaven and new earth, and the garden-city of Revelation 22. Along the way: why our hope isn't heaven but the new creation, what the "thousand years" actually means (and doesn't), the...

  6. Revelation 14 - The Ultimate Victory

    We dive into Revelation 19, marking the end of a major teaching loop in the book. This chapter gives us a breathtaking glimpse of God’s ultimate victory through the cross and the second coming.

  7. Revelation 13 - Seduction, Symbols, and Self-Destruction

    more

  8. Revelation 12 - Purity, Justice, and the Purpose of God's Wrath

    Talking about the wrath of God isn't exactly the most popular topic for a Tuesday afternoon. To our modern sensibilities, the heavy imagery of judgment, plagues, and cosmic shaking can feel incredibly uncomfortable. But what if we've been looking at God's wrath all wrong? In this episode, we dive...

  9. Revelation 11 - Finding Victory in the "Already But Not Yet" (Revelation 15)

    Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we are diving deep into the imagery of Revelation chapter 15. While it's a shorter passage, it packs a massive punch as we enter a brand-new rotation of the story. Before the next wave of plagues and judgment bowls even begin, John takes us into a stunning…

  11. Revelation 9 - Dragons, Monsters, and the Powers Behind the Curtain

    What do a dragon, two monsters, and the number 666 have to do with your life in 2026? More than you might think. In this episode, we work through Revelation 13 — one of the most misread, most sensationalized passages in all of Scripture. We slow down, set aside the end-times speculation, and ask...

  12. Revelation 8 - Behind the Cosmic Curtain

    In this episode, we dive into the "third cycle" of Revelation, moving into the deeper, cosmic realm of the vision. Chapter 12 pulls back the curtain on the spiritual reality behind the history of God's people and the mission of Christ. We break down the wild imagery of the "great sign" in...

  13. Revelation 7 - Sweet as Honey, Bitter in the Stomach

    Sweet as Honey, Bitter in the Stomach — Revelation 10–11 **Beyond Sunday School** | Season XX, Episode XX --- ## Episode Summary What kind of book is Revelation, and why does it matter so much how we read it?

  14. Revelation 6 - Navigating the Storm

    In this episode, we dive into the intense and often misunderstood imagery of Revelation 8 and 9. We move past the seven seals and into a new cycle of vision: the seven trumpets.

  15. Revelation 5 - Horses and the Multitude

    In this episode of Beyond Sunday School, we move past the introductory visions of Revelation and dive into the "tricky stuff" of the first six seals.

  16. Revelation 4 - A Glimpse into the Throne Room

    "It’s about to get super weird."

Rose explores the "Seven Concentric Circles" of the heavenly...

  17. Revelation 3 - The Second Four Churches

    Episode Summary:What does Jesus actually look for in a local church? Is it the size of the building, the depth of the history, or something entirely different? In this episode, Pastor Daniel Rose concludes his walk-through of the letters to the seven churches in Revelation. Moving through…

  19. Revelation - Seeing the Voice of the Risen Christ

    In this episode of Beyond Sunday School, we begin our journey through the book of Revelation by slowing down and listening carefully to chapter 1. Rather than treating Revelation as a code to crack or a book to avoid, we receive it as an unveiling—a revealing of Jesus Christ meant to be read…
