Before we begin our church-wide journey through Revelation, let’s pause and ask: what kind of book is this, really? Is it a vision? A letter? A prophecy? A secret code to decipher? (Spoiler: no.) In this episode, we talk about why Revelation is in the Bible, who it was written to, and how to read it without losing your mind or your hope. Whether you’re feeling excited or anxious about studying it, this is the episode to settle your feet before we dive in.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/summertime-jamLicense code: KTRRXEDC0ALPXAWH
Before We Begin is a short, occasional podcast from Stanhope Anglican Church that gives you a preview of our upcoming sermon series.

Designed to help you read ahead, listen well, and engage more deeply, this podcast is a great way to get oriented before Sunday. Join us as we go deeper into God’s word — seeking to be shaped and transformed by it.
