Let's talk end times. There are few people you can sit down and talk about eschatology with, and Dr. Allen Tennison is one of them.Professor, teacher, doctor, and counselor of theology, Dr. Tennison has discipled our community through so many teachings in VOUS spaces. I wanted to sit down with him to talk about the gray areas we all get scared to bring up: the end times, what the Bible calls eschatology, and what the rapture looks like. It's not his first time on the pod, and it most certainly won't be his last.We talked about how our destination determines how we walk. If you know where you're headed, you'll live differently. Are you storing up treasures in heaven, or missing the promise right in front of you? Do you carry the hope God promised?In this conversation, we see that even God's warnings of destruction are really promises of restoration.Tune in for the premiere on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube channel at 7:30 PM
