Do sincere Christians quietly carry a fear of Jesus’ return? In this episode, we slow down and separate the different kinds of fear that can get tangled together — fears of judgment, not being “good enough,” the unknown, being deceived, leaving loved ones behind, or even the fear that you might not truly believe. We also talk about how bad teaching, spiritual trauma, and confusion around end-times (eschatological) views can deepen that anxiety.

Rather than shaming or dismissing those feelings, we look honestly at them — and then back to the character of Christ, the heart of the gospel, and the hope Scripture anchors us to. If you’ve ever felt uneasy, hesitant, or even afraid when you hear talk about Jesus’ return, this conversation is for you.

This week, Steve gears us up for next week’s big topic—“Why Am I Scared of Jesus’ Return?”—with a fresh Prophecy Update from the headlines. We’ll start with the latest bold claim that someone may have finally located the actual Garden of Eden (because sure… why not discover it now, right?). From there, we shift to the serious stuff: growing talk of “peace” in the Middle East, rising global power plays, and why Scripture warns believers to stay discerning when the world starts promising “peace and security.” All of it points us back to the same anchor — keeping our identity rooted in Christ above everything else.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story behind my grandfather’s unexpected passing—and the unseen spiritual battle that quietly consumed him in his final days. This is not an attempt to accuse, expose, or shame. It is a warning, a testimony, and an urgent reminder that even the strongest believers can be blindsided by a fight they never saw coming.

My grandfather was a man of faith, character, and integrity—someone who discipled others, loved his family, and spent his life pursuing the will of God. Yet in the end, he became tangled in lies, legalism, and spiritual confusion that slowly eroded the truth he once stood so firmly on. His struggle reveals a sobering reality: none of us are immune to deception, despair, or the weight of trying to earn the righteousness that only Jesus can give.

By sharing this story, my hope is simple—if you’re battling hopelessness, spiritual pressure, shame, or the fear that you’ve drifted too far from God, I want you to know there is another way. There is freedom. There is healing. And there is a Savior who carries the weight you were never meant to hold.

This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, unworthy, or quietly losing the fight inside their own mind. You are not alone—and the battle you don’t see coming can be defeated by the One who fights for you.

In Episode 17, we heard Cory Rocher share how God rescued him from the edge and restored his purpose. But he also hinted at a deeper story… a father he feared he’d lost, and a prayer that seemed too far gone to answer.

Today, we hear the other side of that story. This is Richard Rocher’s testimony — a journey from brokenness, hate, hopelessness, and distance to a restored relationship, a peace that surpasses understanding, and a shared ministry that points unmistakably to God’s grace.

Join us as we witness how God’s timing is never late, always perfect, and always purposeful.
