In this week's Grace Abides podcast, Nick and Andy dive into Revelation 15 — one of the most powerful and visually stunning chapters in the book of Revelation.

We talk about:

• The meaning of the seven last plagues

• Why heaven’s “victory party” looks completely different from worldly victory

• What it means that “all nations” will worship before God

• The overwhelming glory of God filling the temple with smoke

• Why Revelation’s final message is ultimately about restoration, not fear

Plus, we wrestle with some big questions:

• Is God forever angry?
• Who might surprise us by being part of God’s kingdom?
• How do we rediscover wonder and reverence in modern Christianity?

If you’ve ever found Revelation confusing, intimidating, or fascinating, this conversation is for you.

The Most Rev. Emily Martin of Iowa joins Nick & Andy with her humor for Revelation 14 including warning, worship, endurance, and hope:

Together they explore:
• The difference between the mark of the Lamb and the mark of the beast
• Why only the redeemed can sing the song of heaven
• What “Babylon” represents and why it still matters today
• How Christians remain faithful under spiritual pressure
• The powerful promise: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord”

Revelation is strange, mysterious, and relevant — and this conversation tackles some of the biggest spiritual questions Christians still ask today.

Listen in and join us for a thoughtful and encouraging discussion!

Dragons. Beasts. The mark of the beast. 666.

What is Revelation 13 really talking about?

In today’s episode of the Grace Abides podcast, Nick and Andy tackle one of the most discussed — and misunderstood — chapters in the entire Bible.

• Who is the beast?
• Can people unknowingly worship evil?
• Will there someday be a literal “mark” required to buy or sell?
• Does 666 actually help us identify the Antichrist?
• And what comfort does Revelation give Christians living in fearful times?

Join us as we dig into Revelation 13 and talk about how Christians are called to live faithfully in a world full of deception, fear, and false worship.

This one will definitely get you thinking.
