Truth & Shadow Podcast

In this episode of Truth in Shadow, host BT engages with Rob, a pastor and scholar, to explore the Book of Revelation from a fresh perspective. They discuss how Revelation is often misinterpreted as a doom-laden prophecy, when in fact it is a profound love story about God's enduring presence and the call for the church to act in love and justice. The conversation delves into the themes of fear, clarity, and the church's role in confronting empire and violence, emphasizing the importance of transformation and community engagement.
