Summary
In this episode we speak with former church pastor, author and teacher Keith Giles. Like many evangelicals, Keith inherited a dispensational understanding of the End Times. If you’re not sure what that is, think anti-Christ, mark of the Beast, the rapture, Jesus’s return, and the New Jerusalem.
Keith slowly became aware that this was a relatively new, ill-informed and damaging way of reading the bible. So he set about discovering a healthier ‘End Times’ vision.
After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on their own experiences of dispensational End Times theology, and how their faith deconstruction and subsequent embrace of a more progressive faith has reshaped that.
Interview starts at 11m 40s

| 0:07.0 | The Welcome back to Nomad Podcast. I'm Tim Nash and this is Nick Thorley. Hello. |
| 0:41.7 | It's 2022, Nicholas, and Nomad is entering its, wait for it, 13th year. Really? I was going to say 12th. |
| 0:48.3 | Who would have thought that we would sustain talking about Christian stuff for this long, mate? |
| 0:53.3 | Well, some people would question whether we have. We're not really talking about Christian stuff for this long, mate. Well, some people would question whether we have. |
| 0:57.4 | We're not really talking about Christian stuff anymore. |
| 0:59.9 | We do get the occasional email that suggests that. |
| 1:02.3 | Yeah, it's Christian, but not as we once knew it. |
| 1:04.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:05.2 | I've got vague memories of you and me having a conversation about six months into |
| 1:09.4 | Nomad, sort of pondering how long we could sustain |
| 1:11.7 | this one. And there were sometimes where we thought we'd gone a bit too broad, like when we started |
| 1:18.6 | interviewing Martin Smith and people, we were just chasing the celebs. And that was a correct |
| 1:22.6 | assessment, isn't it? And yet there's still so much to talk about, isn't it? It really is. |
| 1:30.5 | Yeah, it's an endless seam of we're mining. |
| 1:31.8 | Is that what you call it? |
| 1:33.4 | Mining the rich seam. |
| 1:33.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:40.7 | Because it continues to be compelling and fascinating and provocative and healing, perhaps. |
| 1:44.9 | We're 13 years in, and we've only just got round to talking about end time stuff. |
| 1:48.9 | Really? Has there never been one? I can't remember doing an episode. We definitely haven't dedicated an episode to it. There's been no eschatology on Naimad previously. I don't believe so, |
| 1:53.7 | no. Not entirely sure. What the heck has been going on? It's crazy. I think I said once |
