Episodes

Revelation 16 - The Seventh Bowl (DIDE Ep180)
We finally round out the drama of the seven seals, trumpets and bowls. Now we can see how the seventh of each thing brings us to the same place in time! Here's a very short episode to bring it all together.
-
Revelation 16 - Armageddon and the Sixth Bowl (DIDE Ep179)
The sixth bowl is open and the world is gathered into a place called Armageddon. What do these things mean? Well, here's my take on this topic!
-
Revelation 16a: The First Five 'Bowls' (DIDE Ep178)
We begin to explore the bowl judgements, with some questions worth considering such as: - What do these bowls represent and how might John and the early church understand them? - Are these literal? - When do they occur? - And, where is the church in this time, and if present, what are we to do in...
-
Revelation 15: The 'Bowls' are Coming (DIDE Ep177)
This is a short chapter setting the scene for the 'Bowl' judgements which are still to come. In this episode we simply explore the various elements as they are presented to us. There is a presentation of God being ready to wield a judgement which seems pretty final, and there is the church...
-
Revelation 14c - Sickles & Trampling (DIDE Ep176)
A short piece to complete my journey through Revelation 14, with the heavy theme of judgement rounding the chapter out. We can bring many Old Testament passages as well as a few of Jesus’ parables into this chapter as a means of understanding things more. Things are starting to get really heavy -...
-
Revelation 14b: 'Babylon is Fallen' (DIDE Ep175)
Three angels make an appearance in Revelation 14, and for the first time the name 'Babylon' is mentioned. There is of course a region in the mind of John as he writes, but it calls us to consider how it applies as a systemic reality for us as well...
-
Revelation 14a: 'The Mark of the Lamb' (DIDE Ep174)
As we come into Revelation 14, we are presented with a vision of the Lamb of God accompanied again by the 144000. This time they are presented to us in contrast with those who have been marked by the beast. It appears that the saints have a mark of their own, which builds on my thesis that 'all…
more -
Revelation 13c: 'The Mark of the Beast' (DIDE Ep173)
Ok! This is going to (hopefully) provoke some discussion. I've offered my take on the idea of the 'mark of the beast.' I believe this will comfort many believers and even offer hope to those outside our faith. It might anger some folks as well. I used to be that way too! Wherever you land on…
more -
Revelation 13b: 'The Beast from the Earth' (DIDE Ep172)
A second beast appears on the scene to accompany the Beast from the Sea and the Dragon (who is of course Satan). Together, they form a frightening unholy trinity. The two beasts are a human presence of some sort, and this is my take on what these might be...
-
Revelation 13a: 'The Beast from the Sea' (DIDE Ep171)
With the signs of the 'Dragon' and the 'Woman' now in play, we begin to explore other figures that will wage war with the church. The Beast from the Sea has been pointed to as simply the end time Antichrist by many in the modern church, but this comes at the expense of a pretty important…
more -
Revelation 12b: "D-Day & V-Day" (DIDE Ep170)
We are exploring the second half of Revelation 12 here, with the ongoing enmity between the 'Woman' and the Dragon
-
Revelation Ch12a: Introducing Two Great Signs (DIDE Ep169)
We are presented with a vision of two signs in heaven - a red dragon and a woman. One of these is easy to identify, but the other as a 'sign' is not so straight forward. Here's Cam's take on who she could be. This episode serves as an introduction to the two signs, with the next episode dedicated...
-
Revelation 11c: The Seventh Trumpet (DIDE EP168)
This is the final episode of 2025, and the last in my trilogy of studies in Revelation Chapter 11. It's a short piece on the blowing of the seventh trumpet - short because it expands on an idea already in play, and it will be filled out even more when the seventh bowl occurs.
-
Revelation 11b: The 'Two Witnesses' (DIDE Ep167)
We are again exploring Revelation 11 - this is the second episode out of three in this chapter. In this study we take some time to consider the role and identity of the 'Two Witnesses' who emerge in this chapter. The conclusions might surprise you, but I'd love to interact with your alternative...
-
Revelation 11:1-2 - Measuring the Temple (DIDE Ep166)
This is the first in a trilogy of episodes around Revelation Chapter 11. Here, we look at a possible meaning for the measuring of a temple complex that John is called to do. Since the Jerusalem Temple was probably not standing at the time of writing, we need to ask ourselves, 'what exactly would...
-
Episode 165: (Rev 10) The 'Little Scroll'
In this episode, we will explore the whole of Revelation Chapter 10 - there's just 11 verses and one central idea to consider. A 'little scroll' is presented to John, with instructions to eat it. What purpose might this serve, and what point might we take from this?
-
Episode 164: The Sixth Trumpet (Rev 9)
We explore the last half of Revelation Chapter 9 in this episode, and events which might surround the blowing of the sixth trumpet.
-
Episode 163: The Fifth Trumpet - When All Hell Breaks Loose!
We are coming into Revelation 9 and the blasting of the fifth trumpet. There is a sense that things are taking a dramatic turn in the narrative with new entities emerging from the Abyss...
-
Episode 162: The first four Trumpets are blown
We are beginning to explore more visions from John in Revelation - not from a linear perspective where the seals, trumpets and bowls all occur in order, but in a way where there is a degree of overlap as the end of the age approaches. In this episode from Revelation 8, we are given a brief…
more -
Episode 161: An overview of the Seals, Trumpets & Bowls (VIDEO)
What teaching series in Revelation would be complete without a graphic timeline?! In this video episode, I am offering some very basic imagery in an effort to convey my big idea around the seals, trumpets and bowls of Revelation. Many episodes are coming to explore these further, but I felt this...
-
Episode 160: Revelation Ch 7 - the 144000 and the Seventh Seal
This episode explores just what the title states! We look at who the 144000 might be, and what the half hour of silence might mean in the end time that is to come. I'm always open to a discussion so jump on the comments anytime!
-
Episode 159: Opening the Sixth Seal
We are only just completing the 6th chapter of Revelation here, but we are called to consider a conclusion about what John sees here - one that might even feel jarring for those who think of this book as a linear story!
-
Episode 158: Opening the Fifth Seal
I had a bit of trouble working through this particular passage over the last week. As this goes to air, we are a week removed from the death of Charlie Kirk, and the reality of martyrdom even in the modern West is being discussed as a distinct reality. The fifth seal is a statement of hope to…
more -
Episode 157: The Four Horsemen (Revelation 6:1-8)
This is one of the better known passages of Revelation, and they certainly capture our imagination! This is my take of the topic...
-
Episode 156: The Unopened Scroll & The Lamb (Revelation Ch5)
This episode explores the introduction of a scroll with seven seals, and the one worthy to break the seals and open the scroll. The details of the scroll and seals are still to come, but we have an amazing heavenly interlude to explore first - a source of encouragement for the church even as the...
-
Episode 155 - Revelation Ch 4:5-11
A continuing look at the events of John's first glimpse into the Throne Room of God. We begin to see that this throne sits not so much in a palace, but a Temple...
-
Episode 154: Revelation Ch 4:1-4
As we come out of the seven churches, the book of Revelation becomes a tricky text to navigate, but our journey begins...NOW! In this episode, we will start to consider ideas such as 'what happens next' as well as the idea of '24 elders' and the Throne Room of God. This passage looks at just 4...
-
Episode 153: Revelation - "To the Church in Laodicea" Pt2
My second look at this particular church, but also the final episode centered on the Seven Churches of Revelation. The REALLY challenging part of Revelation is coming up next!
-
Episode 152: Revelation - "To the Church in Laodicea" Pt 1
In this episode, we begin to explore the last church in the circuit being addressed in Revelation. This particular study considers (among other things) the idea of what being 'lukewarm' might be.
-
Episode 151: Revelation - "To the Church in Philadelphia"
This is my exploration of the second-last church bein g addressed in this special circuit of churches.
-
Episode 150: Revelation - 'To the Church in Sardis' Pt 2
This is the second half of my journey through the letter to Sardis. After the urgent call comes a call to be restored, not removed.
-
Episode 149: Revelation - 'To the Church in Sardis' Pt 1
This episode begins our exploration of Jesus' letter to the church in Sardis - a church that attracts no commendation, but instead an urgent call to action.
-
Episode 148: Revelation - 'To the Church in Thyatira' Pt 2
The last short exploration of this particular church - the promises the Lord makes to a remnant who remains true.
-
Episode 147: Revelation - 'To the Church in Thyatira' Pt 1
In order to make each episode a little shorter I am creating a handful of double episodes, just while the 'seven churches' are the subject matter. The two episodes on each church will come out at the same time. This is the first look at what Jesus says to the church in Thyatira - the presence of...
-
Episode 146: Revelation - 'To the Church in Pergamum'
This is a church in a complex setting, going through some rather complex things - there's good, and there's terrible things going on in their midst. There's a lot for us to consider in our modern church setting, much to learn from this ancient church for our time.
-
Episode 145: Revelation - 'To the Church in Smyrna'
This is the second letter out of seven churches addressed in Revelation. It's a church with a lot going on outside of them, but no rebuke to be found within.
-
Episode 144: Revelation - 'To the Church in Ephesus'
The next stage of our Revelation journey calls us to consider the stories of 7 key churches. For some, this can be seen as a complete picture of the whole church - either over time or in its many expressions at any current time. However, it is also of vital importance to remember that these are...
-
Episode 143: Revelation Ch 1:9-20
This section introduces us to a powerful and victorious image of Jesus. In this episode Cam takes some time to explore these and what they might mean. Each part of Jesus' presentation in Chapter 1 is mentioned again in Chapters 2&3 so taking the time to understand them a little now is an…
more -
Episode 142: Revelation Ch 1:1-8
These are the opening statements of the book of Revelation, and already there is wonderful depth to explore!
-
Introducing the Book of Revelation (DIDE 141)
It's the beginning of a new season with a new book of the New Testament to explore. This is an introduction to Revelation -considering the author, the setting, the time and the four major viewpoints that have helped us interpret this book over the years. My aim in this series will be to be as...
-
Episode 140: Jesus Before Pilate & Herod
This longer episode takes some time to consider the details of the trial of Jesus - before Pilate, before Herod - as well as some reflections on the curious case of Barabbas
-
Episode 139: Denial & Consequence (Part B)
This is the second of two detours from the main thread of Jesus' trial - the second case study of a disciple in crisis during this time. In this episode, we briefly examine the final steps of Judas
-
Episode 138: Denial & Consequence (Part A)
We take a brief pause from the trial of Jesus to consider the first of two short case studies. Peter's denial is the first of these.
-
Episode 137: The Trial of Jesus (Step 1)
In the timeline of our Synoptic Gospel journey, Jesus has been arrested and is going through the various stages of the trial process. This episode explores the initial hearing in the home of Caiphas the High Priest.
-
Episode 136: The Arrest of Jesus
This episode continues to explore the dramatic events of Gethsemane and what takes place after the disciple's final prayer meeting together.
-
Episode 135: Jesus in Gethsemane
The Passover event crosses into a garden prayer meeting. Here we briefly look at the setting, the prayer of Jesus and the posture of the disciples. A fuller reflection on the whole process from arrest to death and resurrection is still to come, but here Cam offers a practical thought about the…
more -
Episode 134: Multiple Denials and "Enough" Swords
This is a fascinating passage that first looks at the bravado of the disciples contrasted with the knowledge of Jesus that Peter's denials were imminent. But it then switches gears to a teaching where some very interesting phrases are used...
-
Episode 133: The Lord's Final Passover Table
This is an attempt to try to capture some of the richness of Passover and bring elements of this into the meal that has now become known as Communion. It's important to know some of the theology that existed around the first century and how Passover spoke into that - as it helps us understand how...
-
Episode 132: Setting the Final Passover Table (Intro)
This episode simple introduces the setting and logistics of the last Passover event that Jesus shares with his disciples. The idea of betrayal and some of the origin story of the Passover is presented here with a view to show in the next few episodes how Jesus puts himself into the festival in a...
-
Episode 131: "The Strong Aroma of Spikenard" (Part C)
This is the third and final look at the two accounts of the broken alabaster box events in the gospel accounts. This time we return to Bethany and explore the disciples responses to this, as well as Jesus' own insight about the event an how it pertains to his redemptive work
