In this episode, we explore Advent and the theme of peace through the lens of the Book of Revelation. The Apocalypse of John, while often understood to be about the future, has endless insight into life today, especially when it comes to what it means to truly experience and live a life of peace. Peace may not be the first think you think of when you think of Revelation, but the book offers vital insight into what true peace is and how to find it. While the world offers its version of peace, Jesus offers the only route to true, lasting peace. We often mistake what makes us “safe” and “comfortable” for true peace. Revelation helps us see through the facade to God’s vision of peace for all.
Phil’s new book, Reintroducing Revelation, released last week! Have you found Revelation to be confusing, inapplicable, or just too weird to be meaningful? In this book, Phil shares the importance of Revelation for life today, bringing the reader into the world of the 1st century while making connections to culture today and how it challenges and encourages followers of Jesus no matter where you are in your walk of faith.
