Episode Synopsis

This podcast outlines a theological framework concerning the ultimate purpose of God and the complete restoration of all things throughout history. It explains that this restoration began with the incarnation of Jesus and operates on an already/not-yet principle, meaning the "age to come" has been inaugurated but awaits its final consummation at Christ's return. It details how God forms the church as a preview of restoration, empowers believers to join this mission of reconciliation, and will eventually return to bring about a physical and cosmic restoration that culminates in eternal communion with God in a new creation.
