Rapture Anxiety and Gen X: Reconstructing Our Faith on Solid Biblical Foundations

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 3!

Did you live through the 1990s "Left Behind" books and movies? I heard they remade the movie recently. This episode was originally recorded in November 2022 and references an article that was published in September 2022 about "rapture anxiety" -- yes, it's a thing. So join me here on No More Silos as we unravel the cultural Christian history around rapture theology and try to reconstruct our faith based on what the Bible actually does say about Jesus coming back.

Erika Santiago opens the discussion by shedding light on the fusion of culture and Christianity, challenging the compartmentalized nature of information. The podcast takes a close look at Rapture trauma, recognizing it as a form of religious trauma that many from the Gen X generation may have experienced. We delve into the importance of decentering traditional Christian contexts, paving the way for a more inclusive and authentic faith experience.
