Ep. 171 (RtoR # 45) : What Are the Figurative Keys to Heaven and Hell?
We made it, Door-itos. This is the last parable on the Road to Revelation series 🎉 So maybe it's fitting that we talk about heaven and hell and the figurative keys to the two places that we see in the Bible because turns out, they have everything to do with all the parables that we have been...
-
Ep. 170 (RtoR # 44): The Three Kinds of Israel in the Bible (with Mica Pineda)
We're still not over the fact that Israel was actually a blessing that was bestowed upon Jacob by God and it means "overcome" and that the proof of Israel is 12 tribes - Jacob had 12 sons who eventually became the 12 tribes and Jesus had 12 disciples who are addressed as "12 tribes" in James 1:1....
-
Ep. 169: Does Sin Hinder Blessings and Other Questions (with Mica Pineda)
Mica is a host, actress, model, vlogger and restaurant-owner who even has a day job and we're still wondering how she found the time to join us on the pod but she did! She swings by to share her born-again moment and ask Instructor Aaron questions about prayer - would it speed up God's answer if…

Ep. 168 (RtoR # 43): The Parable of Heaven, Earth, Sun, Moon and Stars (with Issa Litton)
Host and actress Issa Litton is a curious cat and not only does she want to know about the heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars that are used figuratively in the book of Revelation but she even asks about the sea that passes away in Rv 21:1 😸 This is perhaps the biggest reason why people equate…
more -
Ep. 167: How Can We Know The End Time is Now? (with Issa Litton)
Our friend Issa is a host, actress and the Lit behind 1Lit Corp and she wants to know - why do some people think this is the time of the end? The term 'end time' gets thrown around a lot to mean the annihilation of the planet and life as we know it but is that what the Bible is referring to when…
more -
Ep. 166 (RtoR # 42): Why Are Jerusalem and Babylon at War in the Bible? (with Big Daddy Jake)
Jerusalem and Babylon are two places that appear from the Old Testament all the way to the book of Revelation in the Bible. We understand that these are actual places where a lot of significant events took place in the past but what are they doing in a book of prophecy for the second coming,...
-
Ep. 165: What Bible History Tells Us About the Second Coming (with Big Daddy Jake)
Big D has been in your ear for 30 years and currently does the mid-day and morning show on 104.3 Capital FM2. He was once Sam's radio boss and Tina's radio partner (who'd make her cry 😂). On this episode, he shares his thoughts on the second coming which leads to a conversation about how we…
more -
Ep. 164: We Get Personal With Instructor Aaron
The girls get a little QT with Instructor Aaron today because, you know, maybe he feels like he just gets grilled about the book of Revelation all the time (which we're sure he doesn't even mind! 😂). We tried to stay away from church stuff and failed miserably but we did get to squeeze in some...
-
Ep. 163 (RtoR # 41): Mariz Umali Puts On Her Journalist Hat
It's part 2 of our conversation with journalist and TV host Mariz Umali on the parables of bridegroom, bride, widow and orphan and she has questions! 🙋🏻♀️ Sam is officially blown away by this fascinating parable language and Tina is worried about being a spiritual orphan 😂 All while…
more -
Ep 162 (RtoR # 40): The Parables of Bridegroom, Bride, Widow and Orphan (with Mariz Umali)
It's a mouthful because we got lots to talk about on this two-parter with veteran TV journalist and pioneering K-fan Mariz Umali 😍 After hearing her thoughts on the book of Revelation, Instructor Aaron takes us through this language in the Bible of God wanting to marry us, us being the brides of...
-
Ep. 161 (RtoR # 39): The Parable of Death and Resurrection (with Migo Ybañez)
Our friend Migo joins us again today to talk about the fascinating language of life, death and resurrection that we find in the Bible. Perhaps one of the most puzzling things Jesus ever said was to a disciple who wanted to go away for a bit to bury his dead father - "Follow me, and let the dead...
-
Ep. 160: Migo Ybañez's Comeback From Debt with God
As we roll into Holy Monday, our friend Migo Ybañez sits down with us to talk about how his chase for money led him to a 5-million-peso debt which was really just the beginning of how he was stripped of everything he deemed valuable - a relationship, his car, his laptop, even his phone! We're…

Ep. 159: We Ask Instructor Aaron Some Random Questions (with Justin Quirino)
For this third and final installment of our conversation with Justin, we are putting Instructor Aaron on the hot seat! Kind of. Starting with Justin's question last time about the 4 living creatures, we get into the deep spiritual meaning of the physical laws of the Old Testament and also talk...
-
Ep. 158 (RtoR # 38): The Parable of Living Creatures and Wind (with Justin Quirino)
Halo, Doo-rito! 😇 Do you know that the Bible shows us the structure of heaven and from different angles?! Oh my word. Moses, Jesus and John all saw heaven and when God shows His kingdom in this way, it is for whoever sees it to build it so He can dwell here on earth. This is what God wants and…
more -
Ep. 157: How Justin Quirino Heard God Speak in His Life
Sam will never forget the time she was backstage with Justin for an event - she was excitedly talking to him about her new-found faith and he whipped out his phone to show him that he had been praying for her 🥰 He swings by the show today to share how he found his way to the evangelical…
more -
Ep. 156 (RtoR # 37): The Parable of Idol (with Tin Gamboa)
We wouldn't think twice to call Tin our DJ and sportscasting idol but we're hitting the brakes once we're in faith and Bible territory. We can see throughout the book that God abhors idols and worshiping them was basically an act of forsaking the one true God. Physical idols in the Old Testament...
-
Ep. 155: What Does the Bible Say About Purgatory? (with Tin Gamboa)
Our friend Tin is smart, funny, adorbs and she actually knows and talks professionally about basketball - give the rest of us a chance, girl! 🤩 Today, she opens up about how the loss of loved ones got her wondering about Purgatory so we set out to answer that question and the most wonderfully…
more -
Ep. 154 (RtoR # 36): The Parable of Rock (with Jam Alas)
Are you ready for today's parable to rock your wooooorld? 🙊 The language of stone or rock is something that we see all throughout the Bible - the Ten Commandments were written on stone tablets (a foreshadowing of Prov 3:3 which says we should write God's commands on the tablet of our hearts ❤️),...
-
Ep. 153 (RtoR # 35): Does God Have Favorites? 😱 Plus Lotsa Q's About Bible (with Jam Alas)
(We noticed that the audio cut off at some point on the first version of this episode and it has been replaced. Thank yew! 😗) Our Jam-Jam is host of the podcast Lokal Locas PH and she joins us today for a catch-up sesh + to share with us where she's at with the faith. In the process, we end up...
-
Ep. 152 (RtoR # 34): The Parable of Song (with Jay Aruga)
Alright Door-itos, this one's gonna be off the scales! 🎶 Rv 15 mentions the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb and then in Rv 14 there is mention of a "new song" which is to be the eternal gospel (that only the 144,000 can learn! Shoutout to our past episode on the parable of seal! Yes, we...
-
Ep. 151 (RtoR # 33): The One Where We Geek Out on the Bible (with Jay Aruga)
By "we", we mean Instructor Aaron and our guest Jay Aruga - host of The Jay Aruga Show the first Filipino podcast on conservative values - while Sam and Tina sit back and ask questions. Not only that, Jay is also on Unboxing Catholicism with our friend Bernz Caasi and they are currently doing a...
-
Ep. 150 (RtoR # 32): The Seventh Trumpet (with Nikko Ramos)
On our last episode with Nikko, we established that the trumpets that appear in the book of Revelation are actually a parable or figurative language for people and the sound of these trumpets is actually a testimony. But why is the seventh and last one different and important? And are we hearing…
more -
Ep. 149 (RtoR # 31): The Parable of Trumpet (with Nikko Ramos)
Nikko Ramos is host of the Call to Arms podcast and editor-at-large of Slam Online. He’s joining us today and Sam has zero chill because since their radio days together, Nikko has gotten engaged, married and become a parent all during the pandemic (while Sam has had none of the above happen to...
-
Ep. 148 (RtoR # 30): The Parable of Seal
The seal is one of them parables that are understood in different ways and we're here for it! And it's an important one because there is a specific number of people - 144,000 - that the book of Revelation says is sealed. We can say that this is a literal number because there is a great multitude...
-
Ep. 147 (RtoR # 29 ): Commentary vs. Testimony - What's the Difference?
We didn't really set out to answer that question when we hit record but you know what they say: when life gives you lemons, bust out the tequila! This is us busting out the tequila. Other questions that we didn't set out to answer but turns out are really important and interesting as we move...
-
Ep. 146 (RtoR # 28): The Parable of Mountain (with RikiFlo)
Alright Door-itos, we're legit back on the Road to Revelation! Ever notice how mountains are poppin' in the Bible? The Garden of Eden is called the holy mount of God (Ez 28:13-14), Noah's ark came to rest on Mt. Ararat, Abraham bound his son Isaac in Mt. Moriah, the Ten Commandments were given to...
-
Ep. 145: The Return of the Comeback Part 2 (with DJ Mo Twister)
Thanks for the warm welcome back, Door-itos! 💙 On this second installment of our convo with Mo - whose spirit is ruling over the world we are living in right now? Did God know the pain and suffering we were all headed for and just forge ahead anyway, knowing that He can restore everything in the...
-
Ep. 144: The Return of the Comeback Part 1 (with DJ Mo Twister)
Hey Door-itos, it's been a minute. Just kidding, it's been 2 months! 😳😂 You know what's kind of neat though? Our last episode 143 is for I love you and we're back on Valentine's Day ♥️🧀 So please, take this as our Valentine's offering and help us welcome old and new friends to kick off the…
more -
Ep. 143 (RtoR # 27): The Parables of Flesh and Blood
We are so tickled that our last episode for 2021 is number 143 ❤️ We're talking about the parables of flesh and blood in the Bible which we are to eat and who better to have this convo with than a restaurateur? 😄 Our friend Ryan Cruz is the man behind Ramen Yushoken, Mendokoro Ramenba, Kazunori...
-
Ep. 142 (RtoR # 26): The Parables of Beast, Horn, Head and Tail
The beast in Revelation is possibly one of the scariest and most infamous imageries we find in the book. But actuallyyy, there are many other animals that appear throughout the Bible. The people of God are called sheep, Jesus is called the Lamb, what is sacred is not to be given to dogs and…
more -
Ep. 141 (RtoR # 25): The Parables of Sea, Fisherman, Net, Ship
This may seem like a random cluster of parables but trust that there is a method to the madness! Not only were some of the OG disciples literal fishermen but in Matthew 4:19, Jesus told them to follow him and he will make them fishers of men. In Matthew 13, we see the Parable of the Net where the...
-
Ep. 140 (RtoR # 24): The Parables of Water, Spring, River
Hey Door-itos, please flow on in for today's parables 💦 We are diving into the fascinating language of water and its many forms that appear often in the Bible. Water is essential to life and when we see a verse like Deuteronomy 32:2 where God refers to His word as dew, showers and rain that fall...
-
Ep. 139 (RtoR # 23): The Parable of Treasure
We welcome December with a 🕺🏻dance💃🏻 and by pondering on what is true richness in the eyes of God. As you do. In Rv 3:17-18, Jesus rebukes one of the churches by saying that they think they are rich but are actually wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked and that they should buy gold from...
-
Ep. 138 (RtoR # 22): The Parables of Blind, Deaf and Clothes (with RikiFlo)
Our friend RikiFlo is the mother of three children and three podcasts, she's a very busy bee! So we are delighted that she made time for us to talk about the parables of blind, deaf and clothes that appear in the book of Revelation (Rv 3:17-18). You know who else was a busy bee? Jesus. On top of...
-
Ep. 137 (RtoR # 21): The Parables of Light and Darkness (with Mikey Bustos)
It’s YouTube phenom Mikey Bustos in the haaauz! Shortly before the pandemic, Mikey had a funny feeling that something was about to go down in the world and he is adding a bunker into the dream farmhouse that he is currently building. Another thing you might have not known about our good friend…
more -
Ep. 136 (RtoR # 20): The Parables of Fire, Censer and Pot
Today's episode is 🔥FIRE🔥 Come to think of it, there are some odd and puzzling ways the word 'fire' is used in the Bible - God's word is made into a fire in Jeremiah's mouth, Jesus said he brought fire and he is also said to baptize with fire. You guessed it - this isn't literal fire but a...
-
Ep. 135 (RtoR # 19): The Parables of Bowl, Scale and Rod
Welcome to Parable City. Population: Door-itos 💙 A bowl, or any vessel for that matter, refers to a person's heart when used figuratively in the Bible. The scale is the word of God that weighs our heart and deeds. The rod is also the word or the person who has the word that can comfort, judge,...
-
Ep. 134 (RtoR # 18): The Parables of Food at the Proper Time and Yeast
As early as now, we can already tell you that the key to understanding the parables is knowing their physical characteristics. Food is what sustains us. It's seasonal and there's good and bad food. Yeast is a living thing that changes the structure of the dough that it is added to. Given these...
-
Ep. 133 (RtoR # 17): The Parables of Seed, Field, Tree and Bird
Are you ready for them para-para-parables?! (High five if you sang that line) To the shock of no full-fledged Door-ito, we are starting with the seed and with good reason - in Mark 4, Jesus was adamant that we realize its meaning saying, "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you...
-
Ep. 132 (RtoR # 16): Why is the Kingdom of Heaven Hidden in Parables?
So there's the moral-lesson parables (shouts, Good Samaritan 👋🏼) and then there's the figurative language-parables. The latter is a language that God uses in the Bible where He will take something physical and its characteristics to convey something that is spiritual and this kind of parable is...
-
Ep. 131 (RtoR # 15): How Can I Distinguish Good and Evil?
Hebrews 5:12-14 makes a distinction between an infant believer and mature believer and interestingly, being one of the two has to do with the ability to distinguish the teaching that is coming from God and the teaching that is coming from the enemy or -- good and evil. Things get really…
more -
Ep. 130 (RtoR # 14): Where is the Kingdom of Heaven?
Halo! Totally didn't plan this but we love it when the stars align - we're talking about Heaven on All Saints' Day 😇 Did you know that God's promise at the end of His salvation plan is for Heaven to come down here on earth? When that happens, there will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain...
-
Ep. 129 (RtoR # 13): How Can I Be a Child of God?
I think we all know without question by now that God's heart for us is "lavish l♥️ve" as Brother JPaul so often puts it 😜 But in order to keep basking in that love, we need to put our God-given free will to good use and do our part to belong to Him. And according to the Bible, this isn't some...
-
Ep. 128 (RtoR # 12): The First Coming of Jesus
It's what makes us Christian - recognizing and accepting Jesus as the promised Messiah when he came 2000-ish years ago. The first coming is something that we are all familiar with but on this episode, we take a slightly different but infinitely fascinating look at what Jesus did while he was here...
-
Ep. 127 (RtoR # 11): God's Covenant Through the Old Testament Prophets
Insta Abi once said that sometimes, when she teaches about the covenants, she gets tired of repeating how the chosen people kept breaking the covenant again and again and it makes her reflect on the heart of God. And I think I get it. WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS 😩 Today, we are touching on the period…

Ep. 126 (RtoR # 10): The Fulfillment of God's Promises to Abraham Through Moses
How does Moses style his hair? With a parting HAHAHAHA. Sorry. Hope you Door-itos had a restful weekend 'cause we're hitting the ground running today with the epic period of Joseph to Moses (legends!). There is no way we could possibly do justice to this super eventful and colorful era with an...
-
Ep. 125 (RtoR # 9): God's Covenant with Abraham
So it seems like the best joke I could find about Abraham is "Who was the smartest man in the Bible? Abraham. Because he knew a Lot" and I feel like he deserves so much better because out of everyone that's been given a covenant so far, Abraham is the only one who was able to keep it! I mean…
more -
Ep. 124 (RtoR # 8): God's Covenant with Noah
1 Cor 10:11 tells us that the history that we see in the Bible serves as examples and warnings for us and boy oh boy does the story of Noah have them in spades! After the sin of Adam and Eve, God chose Noah and had him preach for a hundred years for the people to repent. Noah also warned everyone...
-
Ep. 123 (RtoR # 7): God's Covenant with Adam
Greetings and salutations, Door-itos! 💙 Welcome to today's jam-packed episode where we welcome Insta Abi of NHNE as she kicks off our journey into the different covenants between God and His chosen people starting with Adam. Yes, Adam! (Hos 6:7) That whole story of Adam and Eve is rife with...
