What if history isn't random? What if every event, every generation, and every page of Scripture is one carefully placed piece in a picture God completed before the foundation of the world?

In this episode, Pastor Curt and Pat Coyle discuss the Bible's grand narrative—from Genesis to Revelation—and why understanding the "big picture" changes how we view trials, prophecy, the Church, and our place in God's unfolding purpose.

Welcome to another episode of The God, Family, and Country Radio Show / Plus+! In this exclusive studio session, Pastor Kurt sits down with author Pat Coyle to discuss his highly anticipated upcoming book series, The Faith Remained: From Patmos to the Present.

Many people are intimidated by the Book of Revelation, but it happens to be the only book in the Bible that is a direct revelation dictated by Jesus Christ Himself. In this episode, we unpack why nobody should be afraid of this text and how the first three chapters serve as a flawless structural blueprint for church health across all 20 centuries—right down to the present day.

What is presumption, and why does Scripture treat it so seriously?

In this episode, Pastor Kurt and Pat Coyle discuss the danger of assuming what God has not revealed and the importance of submitting our beliefs and actions to the authority of Scripture. Drawing from passages such as Job 38, they explore the relationship between faith, humility, and obedience, while examining how presumption can subtly influence both individuals and churches.

This conversation challenges listeners to distinguish between confidence in God's Word and confidence in themselves.

Topics Covered:

• Defining presumption biblically
• Faith versus self-reliance
• God's challenge to Job
• Humility before divine revelation
• Practical lessons for believers today

A thoughtful discussion for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of biblical faith and submission to God's truth.
