Living the Mystery with Encountering Ministries is a podcast developed to wrestle with the deeper questions of the Christian faith. These questions are too often explained in either heavy theological words, which is rarely helpful, or reduced to common cliches that don’t effectively provide insight and discovery. Many of these questions and topics are entrenched in mystery, which by definition means something that is beyond human understanding. And so that is our goal - to grow in the understanding of things that are beyond our full understanding - to grow in our knowledge of God.
This episode completes the series on the end times and serves as a summary of the whole. There has been so much confusion and misinformation regarding the idea of the rapture, and this episode clarifies it using an in-depth analysis of scripture with an understanding of how the rapture fits into the other concepts of the millennium and tribulation.

Ep 25: Tribulation (The End Times - Part 2)
An essential follow up to the last episode on the millennium, this episode looks at the great tribulation that is talked about in Matthew chapter 24. This topic has confused many and caused great controversy in the Church, with some believing that Christians will be raptured to heaven before the time of great oppression and suffering. But is that what the scriptures say? And if not, how should we view the systematic persecution of Christians in light of God’s love for His people? Tune into this deep dive for clarity and encouragement!
