RAPTURE ALERT! This month, Sam and Beth crack open Left Behind: The Kids #1 – The Vanishings and revisit the Christian apocalypse series that had a vice grip in churches the late ‘90s and early 2000s. We’re talking purity culture, rapture theology, and cringe-worthy moral lessons!
Pairing this literary trip down religious trauma lane? Fire & Brimstone, a bourbon-based cocktail with enough heat to send you straight to the other side and a classic Smoke Show.
We break down the wild plot, relive our youth group fever dreams, and ask the big question: WHY were we all reading this? Grab a drink and let’s get into it!
