The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast

Why does the Bible speak about a new heaven as well as a new earth? And if God is going to renew creation, why should Christians care about the world right now?In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright explore some of the Bible’s most dramatic and misunderstood themes: the future of creation, the defeat of evil, and the fate of Satan and the fallen angels. Together they unpack what Scripture means by a “new heaven and new earth”, why Christians should care deeply about justice, stewardship, and even issues like climate change, and how God’s renewal of creation shapes the way we live today.They also tackle big questions surrounding the devil, Armageddon, and the return of Christ. Is Armageddon meant to describe a literal physical battle? Where are Satan and the fallen powers now? And how will Jesus finally deal with evil when he returns?A hopeful and thought-provoking conversation about the end of evil, the renewal of creation, and the victory of Christ.

What will happen when Jesus returns? What does the Bible really teach about resurrection, judgment, and the rapture?In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright tackle some of the most debated questions surrounding the end times. Together they explore what Christians can genuinely say about heaven, life after death, the return of Christ, and the future resurrection promised in the New Testament.They unpack Paul’s statement that “the dead in Christ will rise first”, examine where modern rapture theology came from, and ask whether popular end-times teaching has sometimes distorted the biblical picture. The conversation also addresses the sobering question of what happens to those who reject the love of Jesus, as well as the ways apocalyptic speculation can fuel unhealthy ideology, fear, and even forms of idolatrous nationalism.Above all, this episode is about hope, clarity, and readiness: Jesus will return, and the Church is called not to panic or speculation, but to faithful living in the present.
