What if Jesus wrote a letter to your church? In the book of Revelation, we find seven powerful messages from Christ Himself, spoken to real congregations in the first century and still echoing with relevance today.
Join David Wollen and Dr. Joe Stowell this week on The Great Stories Podcast as they begin a new series: “The 7 Churches of Revelation.” In this episode, they dive into the letters to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Laodicea, unpacking both the challenges these churches faced and the faithfulness they were called to. Along the way, they reflect on the importance of studying Revelation and share the joy of filming this series on location.
The 7 Churches of Revelation (DVD)

These letters, penned by the Apostle John over 2,000 years ago, still speak powerfully today—offering praise, correction, and enduring hope. Filmed on location in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), each episode brings biblical history to life, providing spiritual insight and practical application for believers today.
