Episode 478: Why Our End Times Theology Matters, Part One--Can We Speed Up Jesus' Coming?

Every so often, it seems there is a flare-up of folks worried about Jesus' coming again, or whether current events in the news could be triggering the end of the world. In this new series for Eastertide, colleagues in ministry Sarah, Erica, Natalie, and Steve will be exploring why a faithful and thoughtful end-times theology (sometimes called "eschatology") matters, and why it's worth being wise readers of Scripture rather than getting swept up in the latest talking point or fear tactic. In this first conversation, we'll ask the basic question, "Is there anything WE can do to speed up or slow down Jesus' coming again?" And if the answer is no, then what ARE we supposed to be doing with our lives in the mean-time?
