Episode 480: Why Our End Times Theology Matters, Part Three--Does God Need Our Help?

About this episode

This episode explores whether God needs our help in cosmic battles and the meaning of the 'armor of God'.

We've all seen the classic poster with Uncle Sam trying to recruit soldiers for previous war efforts, with his severe look and the caption, "I want you!" But is that how God operates? Does God need our help to fight some cosmic battle in the future, or is the victory already won in Christ? And when the Bible talks about wearing the "armor of God" is that for some kind of literal, physical battle to come, or about letting our whole lives be prepared for being faithful witnesses to Jesus and daring examples of love? We'll explore these questions in this week's episode of our Eastertide series, "Why Our End Times Theology Matters," here on Crazy Faith Talk!
