Understanding the Times

With all the chaos in the world, Jan your podcast reminds me that God is in control. I always like to hear how the events happening in the world are all related to what is happening to Israel. Jan, you give me hope. I look forward to Friday and your new podcast.

Jan and Company I am so thankful for your voice and look forward to your podcast every single Friday!! You share the truth of God‘s word without exception!! Bringing Jesus to all listeners and making available to anyone!!

In these last days we need more podcasts like this! Podcasts that don’t allow us to keep our heads in the sand, but instead cause us to acknowledge the times we are living in. We truly need to be about our Lord’s business and share his redemption plan with others, while we have the chance.

When your home church doesn’t teach much about the end times, and won’t commit to a firm end times eschatology, where do you turn? Here. Listen to this podcast and those associated with Olive Tree Ministries. Well explained and Bible-driven, Markell and her guests are excellent deliverers of God’s truth.

It’s not that I disagree with every single thing Jan Markell says, but be aware that this work is pushing a very niche political worldview more than the gospel. On the site and in the show, Markell pushes questionable, usually vague conspiracy theories and extreme far-right publications and voices. Her approach promotes what looks to me like factionalism, which the Bible warns us against, and is not as careful in making assertions and checking facts, protecting the reputations of others, or being restrained in imputing weather phenomena to God’s judgement as I feel is necessary for a responsible broadcaster. Therefore, I exhort listeners current and potential to exercise caution and discernment.
