The book of Revelation is, first and foremost, a revelation of Jesus Christ. It is a pulling back of the curtain so that we can see Jesus even more clearly.

Mark 7:24–30 and the Syrophoenician woman is an amazing picture of Jesus' words from a few verses earlier, "There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him.” Jesus crosses several religious and cultural boundaries by engaging with a Syrophoenician woman, and instead of being made unclean by her, his presence brings purifying power to her. The implications of this encounter for Christians and the mission of God are many!

I was privileged to sit down with author and professor, Joel Looper, to talk about his book Another Gospel: Christian Nationalism and the Crisis of Evangelical Identity. In our hour-long conversation, Joel clarifies what “Christian nationalism” actually is and what it is not, and explores why this movement reveals a deeper crisis of identity within contemporary evangelicalism. On top of that, we discuss the evangelical reactions to Charlie Kirk's tragic death, the immigration situation, and what Bonhoeffer might think of the Christian Nationalist movement.
Joel Looper teaches at Baylor University and coordinator for Shalom Mission Communities, a network of international Christian communities. He is also the author of Bonhoeffer’s America: A Land Without Reformation.

In this episode, I’m joined by New Testament scholar, Donnie Berry, to talk about the scope of God’s plan for the world.

Faith isn’t passive—it’s active, alive, and always moving. When Paul met Christ, his entire life changed direction. He went from persecuting Christians to proclaiming Christ with boldness and purpose. Abraham’s faith was the same—he believed God, and he went. True Christian faith doesn’t stop at belief; it transforms how we live, where we go, and what we do.
