The outline for our discussion was a pair of articles written by DeWaay and Habbena for a past issue of DeWaay's Critical Issues Commentary. (A PDF of the entire issue, containing both articles, available here.)

In this episode, he explains this view, and compares it to the pre-tribulation view that has been popularised by the best-selling "Left Behind" series of novels. As a Pre-Tribber, I also present Ryan with questions to better understand his view.
