PHIL HOPPER: When is Jesus Coming Back? (EP 22)

The Papa Ron Podcast

Pastor Phil Hopper is the lead pastor at Abundant Life Christian Church in Lees Summit, MO. This happens to be the church that Jillian and I attend. After a particular sermon back in August, I really began to get a serious tug on my heart to ask Phil to be on the podcast. Reluctantly, I had already been having a tug about using this platform to talk about Jesus but it wasn't until this particular sermon when the tug became a bit more serious. More about that in a minute. Phil Hopper grew up like most midwest boys with a passion for sports and the outdoors, with God fearing parents. In fact, I had the opportunity to bond with Phil during a deer hunt in 2021 with Michael Hunsucker of Heartland Bowhunter. Phil went on to play D-1 football at the University of Kansas. Yes, I had a Jayhawk on my show. HA! Although he grew up in a Christian home, he wasn't living a christian life. However, after a serious auto accident when Phil was coming home from college, it was then when his life changed dramatically. After graduation, he joined the Police Academy where eventually became a member of the Kansas City Police Department SWAT Team. 8 years later, he's the pastor of a church. How in the world does that happen?! Phil's story is very interesting. But as referred to earlier in this description, it was after the last sermon Pastor Phil did on the Book of Daniel (that lays out a timeline of Jesus' second coming), that ultimately inspired me to pursue Pastor Phil to join Jillian and I for an episode. When is Jesus coming back? The Book of Daniel breaks down the "Season" of the second coming and Pastor Phil explains it in this episode. You might be shocked to hear his explanation, which he clearly recognizes as his opinion but he's convinced, based on the facts of the Bible and how over time, the Bible has repeatedly proven that history repeats itself. Very fascinating. There are links below that will direct you to the Abundant Life's series on the Book of Daniel and in particular, the last sermon where Phil breaks down the timeline of when Jesus is coming back.
