Summary

Topics:

Brant has a hope-filled conversation about the end times with author and friend Mike Bishop. They reframe judgment, resurrection, and Jesus' return…not with fear, but as good news.

Quotes:

"There's a lot of wonderfulness ahead—it's not just a fear thing."

"The story the Bible tells is not escape—it's a united new heavens and new earth."

"Judgment is actually good news—God will finally deal with evil and set things right."

"Why would you not want a just God who will sort everything out perfectly?"

"Everything we do now is training for reigning in the new heavens and the new earth."

0:00.0	Welcome to the Brand and Sherry Oddcast, sponsored by America's Christian Credit Union.
0:06.0	To order Brand's latest book, Life is Hard, God is Good, let's dance, or to find out more about the show, go to brantanthanson.com.
0:18.6	So here's the subject, people, I don't think talk about as much anymore, and that is
0:23.8	Jesus coming back and Judgment Day and that kind of stuff.
0:27.8	It just seemed like the air was thick with it back when I was a kid.
0:32.2	I think Mike and I talk about that in the interview here a little bit, but Mike Bishop is a friend of mine,
0:38.8	and he wrote a little book called Hope and Endurance, and it's about, like, the Second
0:45.9	Coming of Jesus and Judgment Day and the kingdom and its fullness and stuff.
0:50.4	He kept it short. We'll talk about that, too, which I really love.
0:53.6	But the upshot from this
0:55.4	interview, I hope you get this, is that there's a lot of wonderfulness ahead. It's not just a fear
1:03.3	thing. And so we can talk about this and think about things in a different way that's maybe more

1:35.1	that had a 70 page book. So mine's 80, but close. Maybe I'd like the other one. Maybe I should talk
1:42.7	to that guy. I don't know. The problem with eschatology books is I don't know that anybody reads them anymore. I don't know. It's so weird because when we were younger, everybody was talking about this and they traumatized this with it, like the end time stuff. I expected Jesus to crack open the sky at any moment and judge me harshly
2:04.6	which did your dad read the uh 1988 book no edgar wise and hunt wise i can't yeah yeah but it's
2:13.4	it's i talk about in the book we were in gainsvilleville because my brother was just starting the University of Florida.
