Why do churches close - even when people are busy, active, and sincere?

Rather than beginning with moral failure or practical problems, the Book of Revelation begins with a theological reorientation. John shows us that when churches lose their vision of God, everything else soon follows.

In this episode, we explore:

- Why Revelation starts with worship before warning

- How churches drift when they lose the awe of God

- What Revelation 1 reveals about the God who speaks, saves, reigns, and turns up

- Why churches' and individuals' ethical failure is often the symptom, not the root cause

- How reclaiming a biblical vision of God renews discipleship and church life

- What this means for struggling churches, chapel closures, and Christian witness today

This is not speculative end-times teaching.
It is pastoral, biblical theology aimed at restoring clarity, confidence, and faithfulness in pressured churches and distracted believers.
