The Maranatha Pursuit (Part 2): From Fear to Longing for Christ's Return
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 2 of the Maranatha Pursuit series, I’m joined again by Uzihel and Brisa Alfaro to talk about the heart behind their children’s book, Jesus is Coming Back, and the deeper conviction that led them to write it.
As a child, Brisa experienced Christ’s return as distant, while Uzihel experienced it through fear. Now as parents, they’re committed to passing down something different:
A longing for Christ.
A longing for His return.
A life lived in anticipation, not for the things of this world, but for the One who is to come.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The heart behind their book and the message they hope to pass on
- How many of us were discipled with an incomplete view of the Gospel
- Why Christ’s return is essential, not optional to the full Gospel story
- How Scripture has always pointed forward to a returning King
🎧 If you haven’t listened to Part 1, go back and get to know Uzihel and Brisa.
