In this episode, Greg and Nathan explore the New Testament letters—from Romans to Jude—and how they reveal the struggles, growth, and grace of the early church. They discuss how the apostles, especially Paul, pastored these young communities through conflict, confusion, and theological questions. From justification and sanctification to unity and correction, these letters show what it means to be a gospel-shaped community—still messy, still growing, but held together by grace. Whether you're new to the Bible or have read it for years, this episode will help you see the letters not as distant doctrine, but as deeply personal words that still speak to today's church. Why did God choose so many letters—and what do they mean for us now?

Gabe directs behind the scenes for the podcast and just wait until you hear him at the table!In addition to Gabe, we have Pastor Will Chung, the Lead Pastor of Beloved Church in Buena Park, CA, the people's padre, Adam Mesa and Chelsie. We haven't had a debate in a while, so we thought, we'd have another! This episode unfolds a profound conversation revolving around the complex role of language and representation in contemporary Christianity.Another contentious yet intriguing subject discussed was the use of cussing in Christian communication. Yes, we said CUSSING. The conversation evaluated reactions to Tim Ross's use of cuss words in his podcast, assessing whether this communicative approach could potentially attract people to the faith. The discussion also reflected on historical instances such as Paul's use of a cuss word in the Bible for emphasis. This thought-provoking episode encourages self-reflection, understanding, and dialogue, reminding us of the need for compassion, conviction, and clarity in our approach to evangelism and the necessity of recognizing and addressing the power of language within Christianity.So, grab your tea or coffee and join us in this weeks conversation.--Get connected with our guests:Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/?igshid=Y2I2MzMwZWM3ZA%3D%3D--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get to know some of the team:@amesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Gabe - does not have instagram@chelsiebaham https://www.instagram.com/chelsiebaham/@nancysnavas https://www.instagram.com/nancysnavas/

Give me your young, your old, your faithful masses yearning to worship freely. This revision of The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus could well be the rallying cry of Pastor Steve Cassell of Beloved Church in Lena, IL.

Pastor Steve and I consider how churches and people of faith should respond to Illinois' lockdown and examine the dangerous precedent that could be established by our governor's abuse of his executive power. We also detail some of the horrific consequences of the lockdown, as well as the incredible opportunities for the Church to be an instrument of God's healing and restoration in the midst of the pandemic.
