Progressive Dispensationalism, Eschatology Reimagined – With Dr. Darrell Bock
Welcome, theology nerds and seekers! On this season 9 finale, we’re diving deep into the world of dispensationalism. Whether you’re a seasoned theologian or a fresh-faced learner, we’ve got something for you!
Our guests are Mike Dente, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Paris, France, and Professor Darrell Bock from Dallas Theological Seminary. We discuss everything from the distinctions between Israel and ethnic Israel, the Church, and political Israel, to progressive and traditional dispensationalism. We’re unraveling the complex tapestry of God’s divine program, one thread at a time.
We dive into the pivotal covenants God has made, and seek to understand how these manage His divine program. We also discuss the interplay between covenantal theology and dispensationalism, and what this means for our understanding of the Bible’s multi-dimensional nature.
We also explore the complexities of identifying God’s people (is it Israel, or the Church?), examine the reconciliation of one people of God, and discuss the mission of redemption for Jews and Gentiles alike.
We also address the relevance of prophecy update church services… Yes, we’re going there!
We dig into the ethical implications of judgment and rapture in the dispensationalism context, offering insights on compassionate interpretation and the importance of living out your faith. Plus, we discuss the potential dangers of viewing those who do not share our faith as enemies rather than a mission field.
In the second half of the episode, we ask Dr. Bock to engage with an article by Scot McKnight, as well as the teachings of NT Wright. You definitely don’t want to miss this!

We can be booked individually, but we love working together as a package deal, much more fun.
We don’t charge to speak. The Gospel is our mission, not our side hustle! You are free to donate an offering to support what we do, but we don’t have rates and we aren’t afraid to work for free. We only ask that our travel expenses are covered.
Note: Due to both of us having newborns, we are less likely to be open to traveling outside of our home states of Oklahoma and New Jersey in 2022, but we’d love to work with you in 2023 and beyond, and are also open to creating video content for your event, or speaking virtually at your event, big or small.
