Redeemer Equip Conversations

Jim Burke, elder and pastoral counselor, brings practical care insights. Rick Bowers, pastor and Scripture teacher, offers theological exposition. They trace dragon and beast imagery from the Old Testament, unpack beasts as empire and false religion, explore the mark and 666 as symbolic allegiance, and discuss cultural idols, spiritual drift, and practices to remember you are sealed.

Brandon Barker, executive director and pastor offering theological clarity, and Jordan Elder, a Redeemer Round Rock pastor who teaches Revelation, unpack vivid imagery from Revelation 8–12. They explore trumpets as de-creation, the calling to witness, the cosmic spiritual war behind earthly events, ordinary faithfulness as resistance, and how accusation targets identity.

Erin Kellogg, women's ministry leader who focuses on discipleship and practical faith formation, and Jordan Elder, preaching pastor who brings sermon-centered reflections on Revelation and Christian identity. They discuss Revelation 7's interruption of chaos, the image of being sealed by God, how casual Christianity shapes us, the need for communal formation, and why holiness and visible unity matter.

Kevin Clark, a gospel community leader who disciples and cares for small groups, and Jordan Elder, a preacher offering pastoral and exegetical insight, walk listeners through reading Revelation responsibly. They explain why the throne and the Lamb are central. They warn against sensational, predictive readings. They offer practical ways to steady faith, cultivate patient endurance, and keep worship at the center.
