In this episode, we do a deep dive on Acts 3:19-21, one of the most ignored texts when it comes to NT eschatology. In Acts 3:19-21, Peter specifically notes that his view of eschatological matters is the one spoken of by the Old Testament prophets, and his timeline is not difficult to understand... it just might be problematic for some people's eschatological views.

In this episode, we look at two videos: one by Tucker Carlson, who argues Israel cannot be the chosen people of God, and one by Gavin Ortlund, who argues that Gentiles are now the true Israel, therefore Israel as a nation loses its significance.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
