Q&A: Mike has not yet settled his position on pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib rapture — he was raised in Calvary Chapel's strong pre-trib culture but feels his ability to defend pre-trib is thin and wants to do thorough homework before teaching publicly on it

Mike explains the basic eschatological framework: seven-year tribulation → rapture at some point → thousand-year reign of Christ → eternal kingdom. He acknowledges being raised in a pre-trib environment (Calvary Chapel) but has not vetted his own beliefs rigorously enough to teach on it publicly. He commits to doing the research first.
