Do you know how to honor God in a unifying, fulfilling way? Our guest today is Kristin Caynor, a researcher working on the Ephesians 2 Gospel Project! Kristin has her MTS from Duke Divinity and is currently working on her PhD at Trinity College as she dedicates her life to serving the global church the best way she can. She will be sharing her knowledge of Biblical text as we examine Ephesians 2 and its doctrine to horizontal atonement and salvation. We will discuss the beliefs and traditions of the early church in comparison to the modern church as we take a look at the text from the early church fathers’ eyes.
Then, it’s time to explore the Biblical basis behind cosmic and demonic powers at play in our world. We also talk about unity within the church and embracing a multi-cultural doctrine to bring glory to God. Why has Ephesians 2 been overlooked for so long? How does culture and context play a big role in how we interpret scripture today? What did the first 300 years of the church look like, and what has changed since then? By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to see an oft-overlooked text in a new light and new appreciation, so you can bring glory to God in a whole new way!
