In this week’s special call-in show, Shawn and Grady reconnected after the EschatologyStudy of “last things”—TGNN teaches all biblical eschatology was fulfilled in 70 A.D. More Conference to reflect on key takeaways, clarify lingering theological questions, and encourage listeners toward spiritual freedom grounded in faith and love. Though the show was pre-recorded (due to everyone being in different locations), it was packed with insight and honest reflections from both hosts.
Conference Recap Highlights:
- A Wide-Ranging Conference, All Unscripted:
Grady and Shawn praised the organic flow of the conference. Speakers tackled fulfilled eschatology from many angles — historical (Grady), academic (Patricia), psychological (Willie), relational (Shade), theological (Adam), and spiritual (Shawn). Though no topics were assigned, everything came together seamlessly, offering attendees a well-rounded perspective on the past fulfillment of biblical prophecy. - Faith and Love over Obsession with Doctrine:
Both hosts reflected on how focusing too much on prophecy or symbolism (like “firmament” or “Nephilim”) can distract from the heart of the message: the liberty and love available now through Christ. Grady emphasized that even his eschatological passion must always point back to personal spiritual freedom. - Addressing Leftover Questions:
Several questions from the conference were answered, including:- The meaning of the “firmament” in Genesis (a poetic ancient understanding of the sky).
- Why people say “already, but not yet” about the kingdom (Grady unpacked how that idea misunderstands the Hebrew wedding motif and the completed covenant work of Christ).
- Concerns about biblical references like “city on seven hills” (not exclusive to Rome).
- How to understand the “Holy Spirit living in us” (as Christ’s Spirit guiding all people now).
- Key Theological Takeaways:
- The new covenant is fully in effect now — not partially.
- Fulfilled eschatology (also called “Victorious EschatologyThe belief that Jesus already fulfilled end-times prophecy, bringing spiritual victory—not future destruction.”) frees us from fear-based religion.
- People struggle not because they don’t have enough answers, but because they don’t nurture their faith through seeking, reading, and trust.
- Wrestling with Fulfillment’s Challenges:
Shawn noted that while the truth of fulfillment brings freedom, it can also leave people spiritually adrift if they stop feeding their faith. He shared concerns about how some who embrace fulfilled theology lose joy or fall into bitterness. Grady responded that liberty always brings responsibility — and spiritual maturity comes through continued seeking, not stopping. - Reading vs. Studying the Bible:
Grady gave a helpful distinction:- Reading builds familiarity and knowledge of what’s in the text.
- Studying means going deep into a topic with research, context, and application.
Both matter — and are necessary to keep growing.
- Encouragement to Seek, Not Master:
For listeners discouraged by not “getting answers,” both hosts emphasized: the seeking itself is the success. God works in the process. Faith grows through searching, reading, and letting the Spirit teach. - Closing Thoughts:
The show ended with a reminder that knowledge is never the goal — love is. And that love starts by letting go of fear and religious obligation, and trusting that we’re already free in Christ. More love, more faith — that’s the message.
