The Story Is Ending
The earth and humanity had a beginning and, just like any good story, will have an ending. The Story is Ending is a podcast exploring how the Bible brings history to an end The foundational Bible verse is Revelation 12:11 - "They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren't in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ." The spirit of that one statement is why this ministry exists. There are two elements to this podcast: The "witness" of someone's story and teaching on The Story. I hope you will find my story helpful for you as we start the first few scenes and I invite you to share yours along the way.

Episodes
In this unique first episode, I decided, after months of writing (starting and stopping), to share a different approach on the biblical Sabbath.
As I say here a few times, I believe the Sabbath comes directly from the eternal heart of God himself. Its nature is as eternal as God himself. As I point out in a previous episode and from Abraham Heschel's book, The Sabbath, eternity is wrapped up in the sacred Sabbath tha...
Hi everyone - finally! I finally sat down with someone to record their story. I met Aaron through the Iron Council. He's got his own story of redemption from the streets of Denver to the Navy to being a father. God has done some amazing work in and through him. Please enjoy hearing Aaron's story as found within The Story.
I have been wanting to get this on my podcast for some time. Beginning last year as November started, I challenged myself to read every day from this prayer in the back of John Eldredge's book, Moving Mountains. As I read it day-to-day, I also started adding highlights and God inspired more customization as words and phrases arose in the moment. This version is the seventh update and I decided to have an easy-to-access audio...
I start my vocational ministry calling with pastoral ministry in Wisconsin. I thought I knew something about ministry. But I did not.
However, God shows up in a wonderful way as I finish my time at seminary, despite a stress-filled and ambiguous final semester.
This is a reading of the wonderful little story of two angels, as written by J. B. Phillps. I thought it would be great for Christmas.
Philippians 2:5-13
'Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,
who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
as something to be exploited.
Instead he emptied himself
by assuming the form of a servant,
taking on the li...
Doing something a little different with this episode. I came across a photo in my Instagram feed of a little boy in Afghanistan. I made it the wallpaper background for my phone and multiple times a day I see the image.
I've been thinking about what I'd say and how to reflect on this striking image, so rather than write it all out, recording thoughts as a stand-alone episode seems best.
Join me as I refl...
The Priority of Worship
This chapter sets the stage for why the seventh day Sabbath is highly relevant for us humans, right down to the end of earth's Story.
Hint: It's all about worship.
I am excited to get this series started! Go to TheStoryIsEnding.com and find the page with some additional notes for this episode.
Yes, I found her. She found me. We found each other. That, among other things, happened as I finished out my college years to get a B.A. in Theology. Where did we end up? Take a listen and find out.
Nearly forgetting to get my story updated to today, this first episode takes us through my second year at college, where I met a very special someone.
Join me as we take a sneak peek into an upcoming new series, The Story of the Sabbath.
This is a series I have been wanting to do for a long time because, for one, I just don't see anyone else out there doing this work on the importance of the biblical Sabbath, besides in books. Important and very good books that I will draw from for this series.
I'll use the structure of story as I have been talking ab...
In this last episode of the series, chapter five, we enter into the very presence of God. We pray with confidence because we've been, all along, getting closer and closer to him.
I finish this series with an actual prayer through the sanctuary. I hope it helps!

This episode is all about bread. The table of showbread, or bread of the presence.

With this episode we spend time at the alter incense, where we pray on behalf of others.
Here's the show-specific page with a few extras for you, including a rendering of the altar of incense.
With this episode, we dive deeper into and learn about the first places in the Hebrew sanctuary and prayer life for us. In this chapter on the story of prayer we cover:
- The East Gate
- Altar of Sacrifice and Laver
- The Candleabra in the Holy Place
Go to here for some more notes and thoughts in including some depictions of the sanctuary itself.
From the very beginning with our first parents, Adam and Eve, it's clear that God wants a connection with his people. He desperately loves us and has paid a heavy price to keep that connection open.
With this first episode in a series on prayer, we will take a look at what God has done in fulfillment of the beautiful promise found in Exodus 25:8 "Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst."...
In this latest episode we will finish learning about how we overcome in the war we find ourselves in while taking a close look at the final three churches of Revelation 2 and 3. My story this time includes time in Japan while in the Air Force.
Go to www.TheStoryIsEnding.com/overcome for all the notes and Bible references mentioned in the podcast.
With this episode, my new life begins! And during our Bible study time, we take a look at how we overcome in this war we find ourselves in. In both segments, you will find some practical help in your life as well.
God can take any space, whether it be physical, spacial, or time, and make it sacred. I believe he did exactly that on what I will call an orchestrated day when I walked into a Taco Bell in the spring of 1991 while living in Florida. Little did I know that day would change my life forever.
This episode includes an overview of Revelation 12, taking a look at who's involved and how the chapter is broken down into its scenes.
This part of my story also includes the slippery slope that was my young single life living in South Florida in the military. I still had questions, but they weren't quite in the front of my mind at this time.
