Joel Richardson is a New York Times bestselling author, filmmaker, and Bible teacher known for his clear and passionate teaching on biblical prophecy, the return of Jesus, and God’s redemptive plan for Israel and the nations. Through his books, films, and online content, Joel seeks to equip believers with a grounded, apocalyptic hope rooted in the Scriptures.
The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Gloriously Good News of God’s Plan to Fix Everything is a sweeping journey through the entire biblical story—from Eden to the New Jerusalem—revealing the Messiah as the promised “seed of the woman” who crushes the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15).
This book traces the war between the two seeds through every major covenant, prophecy, and hope of Scripture. Combining biblical theology, prophetic insight, and devotional clarity, Joel Richardson unveils how the gospel is not merely about escaping this world, but about God’s promise to restore all things through the victorious reign of His Son.

Description
Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joel Richardson (NYT bestselling author, filmmaker, Bible teacher) to unpack Joel’s new book, The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Glorious Good News of God’s Plan for Fixing Everything.
From Genesis 3:15 and the “war of the seeds” to Jesus as the Divine Warrior, we explore why the Bible is not just a promise book—it’s a war narrative with a guaranteed victory at the Cross, fully manifested at the Lord’s return. We tackle the “now and not yet” paradigm, embodied hope and the resurrection, the prophetic centrality of Israel (Abrahamic & Davidic covenants), and why recovering a Hebraic, non-Platonic worldview matters for discipleship, evangelism, and everyday faith.
Joel also shares why he crafted a tactile, heirloom-quality book (linen cover, foil, ribbon, full-color art) to help readers slow down, wonder, and worship—plus how to access his ongoing chapter-by-chapter Bible study series.
