A Second Look at the Second Coming
Date Aired: 4/21/2025

With Easter in the rear view mirror, we take a long-overdue look at the next chapter in the story of Jesus: the second coming. Scholar Tucker Ferda is making waves with some compelling new ideas about the origins of second coming prophesies. He joins Helen and Dave to discuss what Jesus himself might have believed about the end of days and his role as the prophesied Son of Man.
