We’re exploring the striking rise of doomsday books, movies and academic commentary—dealing with collapse, catastrophe, survival and the end of the world as we know it.

Why are these stories everywhere right now? Why do audiences keep returning to visions of ruined cities, failed systems, rogue technology, climate disaster and desperate communities trying to endure? It reveals something deeper about the human heart: our fear of judgment, our longing for rescue, our awareness that the world is not as it should be and our hope that history is moving toward more than chaos.

Christianity has always taken the end seriously, but not with the despair that often marks modern apocalypse stories. Scripture speaks honestly about brokenness, evil and coming judgment, yet it also points to redemption, resurrection and the renewal of all things in Christ. Join us as we ask what today’s doomsday boom tells us about our culture, where it diagnoses real anxieties, where it distorts hope and how, as Christians we can respond with clarity, compassion, and confident hope.
