Should Christians Prepare for the End Times? | Q&A with PJ | Pastor Jeff Schwarzentraub
Should Christians prepare for difficult times ahead—or does preparation show a lack of faith in God?
In this episode of Q&A with PJ, Pastor Jeff answers real questions from BRAVE Church about biblical preparation, death, the rapture, fearing God, and the mysterious fourth figure in the fiery furnace.
Pastor Jeff discusses why wisdom and preparation are not the opposite of trusting God, how parents can talk with children about death without glorifying it, and why believers are called to make the most of every day God gives them. He also explains his pre-wrath view of the rapture, why Christians should be prepared to stand firm during tribulation, and what it truly means to fear the Lord.
Finally, Pastor Jeff walks through Daniel 3 and answers whether Nebuchadnezzar understood the fourth man in the fire to be Jesus—and why Pastor Jeff believes this may have been an appearance of the pre-incarnate Christ.
Keep asking questions. Keep digging into Scripture. Keep growing in your faith.
Questions discussed:
• Is it wrong for Christians to stock up and prepare for difficult times?
• How should we explain death to children?
• Will Christians go through the Tribulation?
• What does it mean to fear God?
• Was Jesus the fourth man in the fiery furnace?

Feeling Weak, Stuck, and Struggling? Here's What to Do | Q&A with PJ
What do you do when you feel weak, stuck, and spiritually exhausted?
In this episode of Q&A with PJ, Pastor Jeff answers Karen's question about walking through seasons of discouragement and struggle. He begins with the most important question: Do you truly have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? From there, he addresses unmet expectations, isolation, repentance, biblical community, authentic prayer, and learning to depend on God's strength instead of your own.
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:9, Pastor Jeff reminds us that God's grace is sufficient and His power is perfected in weakness. You don't have to pretend to be strong. You can bring your fear, anxiety, doubt, and exhaustion honestly before the Lord and trust Him to lead you.
Whatever you're walking through today, remember: you are not permanently stuck. Every season is temporary, and for those who are in Christ, your ultimate destiny is with Jesus forever. Recenter your life on Him, trust Him with your future, and know that you are deeply loved.

Are We Born Guilty? Marriage, Halal Food & Nebuchadnezzar | Q&A with PJ
What does it truly mean to know God, stand firm in faith, and live with integrity when the world around you is shifting? In a powerful Q&A following his sermon in Daniel 2:31–49, Pastor Jeff tackled some of the church's most searching questions with pastoral honesty and theological depth. From the sobering reality that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) to Nebuchadnezzar's telling words—"your God" rather than "my God"—Pastor Jeff revealed that intellectual acknowledgment of God is a far cry from surrendered faith.
He met questions about marriage, food, innocence, and historical evidence not with easy answers, but with grace-filled truth rooted in Scripture. His insight that we don't become sinners when we sin—we sin because we are sinners by nature—challenges comfortable assumptions and invites honest self-reflection. Whether you're wrestling with doubts about the Bible's reliability, the weight of a difficult marriage, or simply asking "How do I get closer to God?", Pastor Jeff's answer remains the same: pursue Christ with right motivation, apply His Word, and take steps of faith. Don't navigate life's hardest questions alone—bring them to your church family and keep asking.
