This subject seems to divide believers more than anything else. We were in our early 20s.

88 reasons of why Jesus is coming back in 1980. You saw right through it. I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. Oh, I was so convinced. And the fruit of what I saw was terrible. I saw apathy. I saw people running up their credit cards, not paying their mortgages. the blood moons, the tsunamis, the pestilence and all that.

Yes, Jesus talks about it's very important, but what he spends a lot more time talking about

in scripture is about how do we prepare for that day? Why do you feel this urgency now after

so many years of not writing, not discussing this? You look at the average person in church in our Western society.

They go 90 minutes.

They go back and basically pursue their own interests for the rest of the week.

We're wasting our time by being consumed with social media.

Probably 90% of it's not even going to come true.

Is there things that you're seeing right now that let us know that we're in the season of his return?

I think the big super sign is the fact that...

Welcome to conversations with John and Lisa Bavir, and today I have the incredible privilege of

interviewing my husband on his latest book, The King is Coming. Wow. And I love

the subtitle. It says, it is time to prepare for the return of Christ. So, John, this is a big

topic that you've actually avoided for a long time. Why now? First of all First of all, you look absolutely gorgeous. No, we don't know.

No. I'm going to leave this in. First of all, okay, first of all, you look absolutely gorgeous. And I love your corduroy with the denim. That's just the Lisa Bevere outfit right there. Colorado vibe. All right. So it's a Tennessee vibe too. I think. Oh sure it is. It's beautiful

vibe is what it is. You look gorgeous anyway. Well, today we are going to be talking about the King is coming and I, this is conversations with John and Lisa, but it might be more of an interrogation of John by Lisa. And John, we're going to be talking about this book. It's already out there. People are already talking about it. Yeah, they are. And before we jump in, Lisa, can I say one quick thing? Lisa and I both want to thank you all for the way you support this podcast. It's amazing. If you are someone that regularly listens to conversation, you say, hey, I want to get involved. I want to help get the message of the Word of God out. Just click the link in the description.

Now, how do you want to interrogate me, babe? Go ahead.

Okay, so John, why now? Why now write a book? The King is coming?

Why do you feel this urgency now after so many years of not writing, not discussing this?

Do you know, Lisa, I actually went four decades and then preach one message on the second

coming? I don't know. Have you? Have you done? So we're both in the same boat. Yeah.
