• Revelation Series – Episode 1: Hearing the Apocalypse

  In the first episode of our new Revelation Series on The Edge Podcast, Dr. Mark Chironna and Dr. Mario Hood embark on a prophetic journey through the most misunderstood book in the New Testament.Rather than decoding predictions, this conversation invites listeners into a deeper way of seeing, hearing, and living in light of the risen Lamb. Drawing from both pastoral insight and theological depth, Drs. Chironna and Hood explore Revelation as a letter, a prophecy, and a transformative vision, one meant to shape the Church’s imagination, not just its eschatology.If you’ve ever felt intimidated by Revelation, this episode will help you reframe the Apocalypse not as something to fear, but something to hear.What if the end is not about escape, but about endurance?

• Prophetic Integrity in a Fragmented World

  In this episode of On the Edge, Dr. Mario Hood sits down with Dr. Mark Chironna to explore his timely and piercing new book, Prophetic Integrity and the Elijah Legacy: Cultivating a Listening Ear and a Discerning Heart. Together, they discuss the urgent need to reclaim a sacred, Spirit-formed understanding of prophetic vision, one that moves beyond sensationalism and into the deep work of healing, integration, and communion with God.Drawing from voices like Abraham Heschel and William James, and engaging thinkers such as Charles Taylor and Iain McGilchrist, Dr. Chironna offers a compelling framework for prophetic consciousness in our disenchanted age. From the fragmentation of the modern self to the sacred task of re-enchantment, this conversation traverses theology, psychology, and spiritual formation to recover the weight and wonder of truly hearing God.If you’re longing for discernment with depth—and prophecy that restores rather than divides—this conversation will meet you at the edge of insight and transformation.

• The Spirit of Anger and the Scapegoat Machine

  In this Podcast episode, The Spirit of Anger and the Scapegoat Machine, I invite you to step into the raging undercurrent shaping our world, a culture where anger is no longer a reaction, but the atmosphere we breathe. I address how the ancient instinct to blame and exile has returned in full force, even within the Church, and how the real battle is not against enemies out there, but against the spirit of accusation itself.Drawing from the insights of Scripture and the brilliance of Rene Girard, I take you on a journey as to why scapegoating feels powerful but leaves us unchanged, and why Jesus, the ultimate and final scapegoat, stands as the only way out of the cycle. If, like me, you're weary of outrage culture, if you're longing for something deeper than blame, and if you’re ready to walk the path of the Lamb instead of the path of accusation, this podcast is for you.
