Elizabeth Woodson is joined by Matt Chandler to have a conversation about the book of Revelation. In spite of all that we might find confusing about the book, one thing is really clear, Revelation reminds us that Jesus is returning and this future promise gives us a present and eternal hope. 

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Can you provide us with some clarity by giving us a quick overview of the message of the book of Revelation?
• Why did John want to highlight the spiritual war that is happening around us for his readers?
• How have Christians over-emphasized or under-emphasized this?
• How do we grieve with hope and how does that influence others?
• How has this truth helped you press through hard moments with hope?
• How does The Book of Revelation and the theme of hope point us to the gospel?
