My guest today is Zach Johnson - a warehouse supervisor from Pennsylvania.

About 6 weeks ago Zach put up his first post on the app formerly known as Twitter. The opening read as follows:

“My name is Zach, and my goal in creating this account is to provide a space for thoughtful dialog, debate and research regarding what the Bible calls the "last days," from a Fulfilled Eschatology perspective. I hold to "Covenant Eschatology," also called full preterism, which teaches that all things related to the end-time — the Second Coming, Final Judgment, and Resurrection— were fulfilled in the generation leading up to and consummating in the AD 70 judgment on Jerusalem and the Temple. "

Zach and I had a great chat covering his views on Genesis through to Revelation, explaining how he got there and what it means for his outlook on life.

What's the point anyway?

This podcast series aims to address this question - bringing on a range of guests from various backgrounds, all of whom have faced challenges along the way and have either arrived at, or are seeking to arrive, the answer to the question on the point of our existence.

Through the depths of the covid era in 2020-21 I became disillusioned with the world and started to really ask this question myself. A staunch atheist up until that point, I ended up exploring everything and eventually came to believe that Jesus was who he said he was. I’ve now spent 3 years dealing with this complete change in world view and I’ve met and spoken with so many fascinating people in the process. A hardcore materialist in my past life, I used to be interested in who was achieving so-called success, but nowadays I’m far more interested in people that have battled addiction, contemplated suicide, lost careers or family, and come
through the other side of it with far more curiosity in questioning things that actually matter. I’m not really your typical Christian or church-goer. In fact I really struggle with much of what modern Christianity projects itself as to the wider world. So far from creating a podcast that preaches to the choir, I wanted to create a platform where I can speak to a range of interesting people, Christians or not, who have pondered the question of what the point of life is and see if
we can’t learn something from each other.
