Revelations Podcast

What if we’ve been missing the power of the Holy Spirit?
In this transformative and powerful episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Laurel Bunker, a sought after Speaker and Teacher and Vice President of Pulse Ministries, for an honest, challenging, and faith-filled conversation about the person, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit—and why every believer needs to understand who He is and how He works in our lives today.
Why have so many Christians become uncomfortable with the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit? Together, Reagan and Laurel explore how the Enlightenment Era influenced the Church’s understanding of faith, reason, and spiritual power, and why we must be careful not to let intellectual understanding replace a living, active relationship with God.
Laurel unpacks the biblical foundation of the Trinity and explains how the Holy Spirit teaches, comforts, convicts, transforms, and empowers us to live in obedience to Jesus. She also shares why spiritual discernment matters, how to test what we hear and believe against Scripture, and why Christians must be willing to repent, pursue holiness, and partner with the Holy Spirit rather than rely on their own strength.
Reagan shares a personal story of encountering God through prayer and healing, while Laurel challenges believers to stop living as spectators and begin walking in the spiritual gifts God has given them. From healing and discernment to boldness in sharing the Gospel, this conversation is a call to deeper faith, greater spiritual hunger, and renewed expectation for what God can do.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Who the Holy Spirit is and what it means to understand Him as the third person of the Trinity
Why the Holy Spirit is essential to living out our faith
How the Enlightenment shaped the Church’s relationship with reason and spiritual power
What it means to grieve the Holy Spirit and how repentance leads us toward transformation
How to test the spirits and practice biblical discernment
Why spiritual maturity requires both the work of the Holy Spirit and our willingness to obey
How the Holy Spirit develops holiness, renews our minds, and produces spiritual fruit
Why Christians should expect God to work through spiritual gifts, including healing, discernment, and prophecy
How to grow in your understanding of the Holy Spirit through prayer, Scripture, and Christian community
A challenge for every believer: Are you open to the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s work in your life? Laurel encourages listeners to study the names and work of the Holy Spirit, ask God to reveal areas of unbelief, and approach Him with humility, hunger, and expectation.
It’s time to move beyond simply knowing about God and become disciples who live with the presence, power, and wonder of the Holy Spirit.
Listen now, and be encouraged to live with renewed faith, spiritual discernment, and expectation for what God can do.

What happens when shame, brokenness, and searching lead to a life-changing encounter with God?
On this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan Kramer sits down with Wendie Pett, ND, to hear her powerful testimony of redemption, surrender, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Wendie shares how she went from growing up in church to a season of partying, alcohol, and deep personal struggles—and how God met her in the middle of her despair and wanting to end it all with a message that changed everything: “Get up.”
Wendie’s story is a reminder that no matter how far we feel we have wandered, God’s grace can reach us. Through repentance, surrender, and learning to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, she discovered a deeper relationship with God and a new understanding of her identity in Christ.
Together, Reagan and Wendie discuss the power of sharing your testimony, releasing shame and bitterness, and being willing to obey God even when you don’t have all the answers. Their conversation offers encouragement for anyone longing to hear God’s voice, experience spiritual renewal, or believe again that God can redeem their past.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How God can meet us in our darkest moments and call us into a new life
Wendie’s journey from shame and despair to a deeper relationship with Jesus
Why surrender and repentance are essential to spiritual transformation
How the Holy Spirit helps us recognize God’s voice and direction
The importance of releasing resentment, anger, and shame
Why sharing your testimony can help bring hope and freedom to others
How one step of faith can change the direction of your life
If you’ve ever wondered whether God can use your past, restore your hope, or lead you into something new, Wendie’s story will encourage you to trust Him with your next step.
Listen, be encouraged, and remember: your past does not have to define your future when you place it in God’s hands.

What happens when we run from God—and what if His mercy extends to the very people we believe deserve judgment?
In Part 3 of our Bible study on Jonah, Reagan Kramer continues exploring Jonah chapter 1, revealing the consequences of disobedience, the sovereignty of God, and the surprising faith of a group of pagan sailors who encounter the power of the one true God.
When Jonah refuses God’s call to preach to Nineveh, he boards a ship headed in the opposite direction. A violent storm puts everyone aboard in danger, and Jonah eventually admits that his disobedience is the cause. But while Jonah is willing to face death rather than see his enemies receive mercy, the sailors respond with fear, prayer, and ultimately worship of the Lord.
This episode explores the contrast between Jonah’s hardened heart and the sailors’ growing faith. It challenges us to consider how we respond to people whose beliefs, actions, or values oppose our own. Do we simply condemn them, or do we pray for God to reach them with His truth and transforming power?
Reagan also unpacks the significance of the great fish that swallows Jonah for three days and three nights. Discover how Jesus later connects Jonah’s experience to His own death, burial, and resurrection, and explore the biblical symbolism of Sheol, the ancient world’s association with fish imagery, and the possibility of deeper meaning behind Jonah’s extraordinary experience.
In this episode, we explore:
Why Jonah ran from God and the consequences of his disobedience
How our sin can affect the people around us
The surprising response of the sailors to God’s power
Jonah’s bitterness toward Nineveh and the challenge of loving our enemies
How Jonah’s three days and three nights foreshadow Jesus’ death and resurrection
The biblical meaning of Sheol and the symbolism of the great fish
Ancient fish-god imagery and its possible connection to Nineveh
God’s sovereignty, mercy, and desire to bring people into His kingdom
As we prepare to enter Jonah chapter 2, we are left with an important question: What was happening inside the belly of the great fish? Would Jonah finally turn back to God, or would he remain trapped in bitterness?
Join Reagan for this continuing journey through Scripture as we discover how God can use even our rebellion, suffering, and unexpected circumstances to reveal His power and purpose.

What if you stopped trying to prove that you’re enough—and simply received the love God has already given you?
In this impactful and deeply vulnerable conversation, Reagan sits down with Nick Hall, founder and president of Pulse Ministries, to talk about something many Christians quietly struggle with: knowing that God loves you intellectually, but having a hard time actually receiving His love.
Nick shares his incredible journey of following Jesus from childhood, surrendering his life to ministry at 18, working alongside some of the most influential evangelists of our time—and yet spending years believing that his worth was connected to what he could accomplish.
For years, Nick lived with a “try harder” mentality. His identity became tied to achievement, approval, ministry, and being the person everyone could count on. Even while preaching about the love of God to thousands, he struggled to feel that love for himself.
After years of painful seasons, loss, exhaustion, and what he describes as God “undoing” him, Nick began to discover a different way to live: not striving for God's approval, but resting in God's delight.
They talk about:
Why high achievers can struggle to receive God's love
The difference between doing for God and abiding with God
What happens when your identity becomes tied to performance
Breaking free from the cycle of striving, exhaustion, and burnout
Learning to be comfortable simply being God's beloved son or daughter
Why vulnerability and confession should be normal parts of Christian life
The importance of having people who can speak truth and encouragement into your life
Why leaders need people who minister to them, not just people they minister to
Finding healthy community, mentors, accountability, and prayer
How receiving God's love can transform your family and relationships
Breaking generational patterns of performance and approval
Why God's kindness is an invitation, not condemnation
Learning to slow down enough to actually experience God's presence
One of the most powerful moments comes when Nick remembers being in his garage during the pandemic, covered in sawdust, and realizing that he was experiencing God's love in a way he had never experienced it on a stage or at a major ministry event.
As Nick says, “The aim is…let's not forget where our power comes from.”
If you've ever felt like you have to do more, accomplish more, serve more, or prove yourself to be enough, this conversation is for you.
You are not what you do. You are God's beloved.

“The end is coming!” Throughout the years, this short but terrifying sentence has sent shivers down the spines of believers, conjuring images of apocalyptic destruction and trials foretold by ancient texts. But should the faithful tremble at the thought of the book of Revelation, or is there a deeper understanding to be had?
This is a question Jenny Mire was able to answer in her journey to understand the end times. In this episode of The Revelations Podcast, we take a deeper look into the Bible and human history. Jenny sheds light on Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy, and why she believes that Jesus reigns in the present. She explains the Olivet Discourse and the relevance of the Old and New Covenant so we can better understand the meaning behind the book of Revelation.
This episode will give you hope to continue Gods will in your life and peace to sustain you as you walk with Jesus!
Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:
Gain insight into the different major perspectives of the end times and Jenny’s partial preterist, amillennialist view.
Understand the Olivet Discourse and how Jesus’ proclamations are fulfilled throughout history.
Be freed from fear with a better understanding of the end times and the new covenant with our Lord, Jesus.

Episode Highlights
[03:28] Jenny Explains Eschatology
Eschatology is the study of the end times or the end of the world as we know it. The Greek word “escha” means last or farthest away.
There are many different views and words for this study. Specifically, Jenny views it as the “last days.”
Like many others, Reagan and Jenny have been exposed to the fear of the end times that Hollywood and society have perpetuated.
However, the book of Revelations isn’t about fear. It is about the revealing of Jesus Christ.

[06:55] Jenny: “Revelation is ‘the revealing of’… It means the revealing of Jesus Christ. It is about Jesus. When you look at Revelations with those lenses of ‘Where are we seeing him revealed?’ your view starts to change.”

It reveals the New Covenant and what that means for us, believers.
[07:23] The Major Views of the End Times
The dispensational view looks at Revelations at different times. From the growth of the Church to the 7-year peace agreement of the Antichrist and Jesus’ return to reign and end all evil. The Church is raptured before, in the middle, or after the 7-year tribulation
Amillennialism believes that Jesus reigns right now. There will be no rapture and the Church waits for Jesus’ second coming and then eternity.
A preterist view believes the Revelations were fulfilled in the first century. A partial preterist believes that it has mostly been fulfilled and only awaits the return of Jesus.
Other views include historical, post-millennialism, futurism, and idealism. Listen to the full episode to gain a better understanding of the different views of the end times with Jenny.
Jenny is a partial preterist with an amillennialist viewpoint. She believes that Jesus is reigning in the present. Once He comes back, he will bring eternity.
[13:09] The Journey Into Studying the book of Revelation
In 2020, Jenny started questioning what other people told her about the end times. She started reading Revelations and felt uneasy about how some things didn’t make sense.
She discovered that the 7-year tribulation theology came from Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy. Jenny started reading the Book of Daniel and listened to different views
Jenny started studying the Hebrew writings in Daniel. It's through this that she better understands the 70 Weeks prophecy and how it actually refers to Jesus and His ministry.
The next step in her journey was understanding what Matthew 24 says when talking about the end times and the great tribulation.
In the past year, she studied Revelations and listened to different views and perspectives. With prayer, Jenny felt the Holy Spirit confirm her beliefs not with fear but with peace.
[17:02] A Deeper Look Into Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theology and History
Dispensationalism was made popular in the 1800s by John Nelson Darby. His work has then been taught in seminaries.
Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. He documented the history of the Jewish-Roman War. His works are crucial in understanding the views of the end times.
In Matthew 23, Jesus proclaimed destruction and judgment on that generation before He died in 30 AD. In 66 AD, Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem before pulling out and allowing Christians who heeded Jesus’ warnings to flee the city.
The Roma-Jewish War lasted for 3 and a half years as written in the books of Revelations and Daniel. It ended in 70 AD after a final siege lasting 5 months.
A better understanding of these dates gave Jenny a deeper look. Learn more about these historical dates and Bible writings in Jenny’s full explanation in this episode.
[27:02] The Book of Revelations
Many believe that John wrote Revelations between 90 and 95 AD. However, based on his age and writing, it makes sense to have been written around 60 AD
Revelations is the last book in the Bible as it describes the destruction of the temple and how it embodies the Mosaic Covenant.
Jenny asks important questions to better understand Revelations in her journey. This brings her to the realization that the Old Covenant is done and the New Covenant has everything we need.
[31:30] Explaining the Olivet Discourse
The Olivet Discourse is found in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Before this, Jesus calls out the Pharisees and scribes as hypocrites in Matthew 23.
Jesus and His disciples talk about His proclamation of judgment on the Pharisees, the destruction of the temple, and when it will occur. The disciples ask Jesus about the signs of coming and the end of the age, referring to the Old Covenant Age.
In Matthew, Jesus refers to the “Abomination of Desolation” mentioned by Daniel about the first-century destruction. Luke 21 tells the same story of this discourse where he writes about this desolation as Jerusalem surrounded by armies.
These chapters and verses can be seen in the Roman-Jewish war between 66 AD and 70 AD.
Jesus’ proclamation was fulfilled. Romans conquered, took people captive, and left others dead. Not one stone was left in the temple when it was destroyed in the war.
[42:38] The End of the Old Covenant
The 70 weeks of Daniel was during Jesus’ 3-and-a-half-year ministry. He was crucified midway through the 70th week.

[43:19] Jenny: “When Jesus came when he resurrected and ascended into heaven, He began reigning at that point. The new covenant was in effect for those who accepted it.”

After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the New Covenant and His reign began.
This overlapped with the Old Covenant as it became obsolete and slowly vanished. The fall of the temple was the end of the Old Covenant.
[46:14] Following the Way of the New Covenant
Recently, there has been talk about rebuilding the temple. However, Jenny believes that this is a distraction of the enemy from our task to grow and become many.

[46:34] Jenny: “You and I are the temple and the Holy Spirit. God dwells in us and where He dwells is His glory. So when it says the glory will fill the whole Earth, that is us, believers.”

People are so focused on what can happen in the future that it distracts us from what we should be doing. Many are scared and choose not to live their lives due to this fear.
We get stuck in fear. However, it’s important to ask about if this is from the Lord. The Lord is perfect love and not based on fear.
John, as a prophet of the first century, wrote Revelations referring to the first destruction of the temple like the prophets of the Old Testament.
Jenny believes we are at the end of the book, experiencing Jesus’ reign and waiting for His return. We are made spiritually new in Christ but yearn for physical restoration.
[56:16] Freedom From Fear By Understanding the End Times
What Jenny has learned about the end times has helped her in understanding the New Covenant.
She is now on a new journey to find out what it means to be a new creation and know our true identity.
Once we stop fearing and looking for the Antichrist and more, we can focus on Jesus and the New Covenant. There is freedom from fear to be able to live and move forward.
