Episode 25 Guest Jeff Verdoorn | Bible Teacher Jeff Verdorn returns to break down the complexities of end times prophecy and the assurance of salvation. After a powerful session with middle school students, he addresses one of the most debated questions in faith: once a person is saved, is it possible to fall away? He explores biblical evidence suggesting that the Holy Spirit offers an eternal seal that cannot be broken. From the symbolism of the shofar to the theological link between creation and the end of the age, this discussion provides clarity for those wrestling with doubts about their eternal security.
