Who was Polycarp, and what did this disciple of the apostle John teach about Christianity? Explore Polycarp of Smyrna's life, his Letter to the Philippians, and his martyrdom—and discover how the early church passed the apostles' teaching to the next generation.In this video, we examine Polycarp's teaching on salvation by grace, the authority of Scripture, Jesus' true humanity, Christ bearing our sins, and the character of church leaders. We also explore his relationship to the Bishop of Rome, his references to elders and deacons, and his defense of the Christian faith against false teaching.Polycarp's story brings church history into our own lives: Are we faithfully passing on the gospel? Are we making disciples? And will we remain faithful to Jesus when following Him comes at a cost?Watch through the end as we consider persecution in the Roman Empire and Polycarp's refusal to deny Christ.What stands out most to you about Polycarp's life or teaching?

Were more of Jesus' twelve disciples connected than we realize? In Matthew 10:2–4, the Gospel writer does more than list the names of the apostles. He appears to arrange the Twelve in pairs. Peter and Andrew are brothers. James and John are brothers. But what about the other pairings? Were Philip and Bartholomew friends before they followed Jesus? Is Bartholomew the Nathanael described in John's Gospel? Could James son of Alphaeus have been related to Matthew/Levi? Why was Thomas known as "the Twin"? What did Simon's title—"the Cananaean" or "the Zealot"—mean? And why does Matthew preserve Judas Iscariot's betrayal in the very list of apostles? In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace opens Matthew's list like a cold case file. He separates what the Gospel writers explicitly say from what can reasonably be inferred, what remains merely possible, and what later tradition has added. Along the way, he examines the meanings of the apostles' names, their alternate names, their potential relationships, and the remarkable kind of mission community Jesus formed. The Twelve were not a random collection of religious professionals. They included brothers, fishermen, a tax collector, men with politically charged labels, men with duplicate names, men whose stories remain largely hidden, and the disciple who would betray Jesus. What can their relationships—and the mysteries still surrounding them—teach us about Jesus, the Gospels, and the kind of family Christ came to create? Get J.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches about living the transformed life. Romans 12:1-21 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.2 Corinthians 3:18 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.2 Corinthians 5:1717 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.Romans 6:14 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you,…1 Peter 2:1-21 So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. 2 Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 1 Peter 2:3 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.Psalm 1:22 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.James 5:16 16 …The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.James 5:1616 …The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.Ephesians 6:1212 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.Luke 10:1919 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.Luke 10:1717 …saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”1 John 5:1414 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.Philippians 2:9-109 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,…Acts 3:66 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”Galatians 2:2020 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Our guest this episode is an ordained pastor and journalist who's traveled the country speaking to conservative Christians and facilitating discussions about politics and division. But she's come to believe those efforts are ineffective, and has shifted her focus to combatting Christian Nationalism. This is episode 6 in Making Peace Visible's special series, Beyond Polarization. In episodes 1 through 5, we spoke to Americans invested in bridging political divides through journalism, social media, higher education and in civil society. This episode, with a spotlight on religion, examines the limits of trying to find common cause with people you disagree with. Rev. Angela Denker is an ordained Lutheran pastor and a journalist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She's the author of two books: Red State Christians (2019), and Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood (2025). Having grown up with a mix of Baptist, Evangelical and mainline Protestant influences, Angela eventually embraced a more liberal Christianity and progressive politics.While researching her first book, she saw some openness to dialogue and empathy for immigrants, for instance. But she says, by and large, efforts at bridge building between liberal and conservative Christians have fallen flat.Her second book focuses on the threat of Christian Nationalism, particularly among young white men and boys. In this interview, Denker speaks about why she thinks there are more important threats to the country and the church than polarization. And she makes a case for why we should be paying more attention to the role of religion in American politics today. We also touch on Denker's experiences and writing during ICE's Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.

I couldn't escape from this passage.Mark 8:34-38 is one of those passages that stops you in your tracks because Jesus makes it very difficult to soften, qualify or explain away what He says.Jesus calls the crowd together with His disciples and says:"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."Who does that apply to?Whoever. Anyone.That includes me. And if you want to be an actual follower of Jesus, it includes you.In this video, we work through Jesus' challenging words in Mark 8 and what they mean for Christians today: What does it actually mean to deny yourself? What did Jesus mean by taking up your cross? Why is taking up your cross more than enduring life's ordinary difficulties? What does it mean to lose your life for Jesus and the gospel? Can we follow Jesus while making comfort, safety and security our highest priorities? What does Jesus mean when He warns about being ashamed of Him? What does this passage tell us about living on mission?Denying yourself isn't simply denying yourself something. It's accepting that your life is no longer about you.Taking up your cross means that when following and obeying Jesus becomes costly, our answer is still yes.And losing our lives for Jesus and the gospel means our lives become oriented around Him and His mission.Jesus isn't calling every Christian into vocational ministry. He is calling every Christian to follow Him wholeheartedly wherever He has placed them. There is no retirement from following Jesus and no category of Christian exempt from His call.In some ways this is a hard passage.But if you belong to Jesus, there's something in you that wants to respond:"I will deny myself, take up my cross and follow You, no matter what."Not because it's easy.Because of who Jesus is, what He has done and where history is going, He's worth it.Scripture: Mark 8:27-38Learn more at 12Church.net Take the Personal Evangelism Crash Course Here:https://www.twelvechurch.net/evangelism-crash-courseDiscover the Missional Living Map: https://missionalmap.comLearn more about 12Church: https://12church.netGet access to any tools and resources mentioned in this video here:https://www.12church.net/toolsThe 8 Essential Traits of a Disciple: https://www.twelvechurch.net/dnahttps://12church.net is about structuring your life around the call to be a disciple of Jesus Christ who makes disciples. It's about learning HOW to make disciples in this time and place.
It's a question that gets at the heart of what it means to follow Jesus. Is discipleship an optional next step for more serious believers, or is it inseparable from genuine Christian faith?In this episode of Curious Faith, we have a live phone call with our Curious Companion to explore the difference between identifying as a Christian and actually living as a disciple. We look at some of Jesus' strongest statements about following Him, the cost of discipleship, and how passages like the Parable of the Soils help us think about what real, lasting faith produces.This episode asks an uncomfortable but important question: Are we simply calling ourselves Christians, or are we actually following Christ?
Someone asked Jesus a question many people still wonder about: “Lord, are only a few going to be saved?”Jesus could have answered with a number.He didn't.Instead, He turned the question back toward the people listening: “Strive to enter through the narrow door.”In this episode of Your Life, Dr. Tony Haire and Dan DeBruler explore Jesus' challenging words in Luke 13 and the difference between simply being familiar with Jesus and actually living in relationship with Him.It's possible to know the language. Attend church. Study the Bible. Be surrounded by Christians. Talk the talk.But proximity isn't the same as relationship.Tony and Dan also discuss how easily Christians can become distracted by everyone else's spiritual condition—especially in an age of social media where publicly examining, criticizing and labeling other believers has become remarkably easy.Jesus turns our attention back toward the mirror.Instead of asking how many will make it through the narrow door, perhaps the more important question is:Am I actually following Jesus through it?Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FMConnect and learn more at Christian1057.com
Spirit of God E11 — In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit fills Jesus' followers at Pentecost; they are to be like a new temple of God's presence and power. In addition to a temple, the Apostle Paul throws another metaphor into the mix: the community of believers as a body filled with the Spirit. But where did Paul get this image and what does it mean? In this episode, Tim and Jon explore the Church as a Spirit-filled body, empowered with the Spirit's gifts to serve one another and the world.

We live in a culture that measures influence by followers, views, and platforms. But real influence isn't always that easy to measure.In this episode, we talk about the life effect of a disciple: the cumulative impact of ordinary faithfulness, everyday conversations, intentional relationships, and putting the kingdom of God on display in the natural rhythms of life. We explore how the people who have shaped us often did so in ways they may never have fully realized, and how our own influence can reach much farther than we may ever see.You don't need a massive platform to make a significant impact. Every disciple is influencing somebody. The question is, what kind of influence are we having?

How Spiritual Growth Happens (Disciple 10K) (Philippians 2:12-13) | Let Down Your Nets | Mike Kelsey
Message from Cam Potts on September 27, 2026
Following Jesus was never meant to be a “you and God” thing—it's a “you, God, and us” thing, as we learn to Lean Into Community and intentionally pursue relationships where we can know others and be known.
This video is about Sundays
Mount Pleasant Campus Pastor Aaron Mora
Pastor Jim explores what it means for a disciple to truly know God. Through Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3, he explains that knowing God begins not with good behavior or religious knowledge, but with being born again through God's grace. That new birth gives us a new heart, a new Spirit-led way of life, and a new family in the people of God. Discipleship, then, is an ongoing life of receiving God's grace, growing in relationship with Him, and allowing Him to transform how we live.
Today, we will be beginning a new series in the Gospel of John. Join us in the conversation. This is the audio podcast.
Romans 5:6-8 Delivered by Minister Mark Bourgeois September 27, 2026 at Disciples of Christ Worship Center, New Roads, LA
Main Point: Children exemplify who the kingdom of heaven belongs to.1. Children brought to Jesus.2. Disciples rebuke the people.3. Jesus corrects the disciples.
Being a disciple of Christ is more than just being a follower of God. Being a disciple is being a student of Christ and His Church. As disciples we learn to trust God more than we trust our own knowledge. We learn to be humble in the presence of God's many blessings. If we want to attract others to Christ, to be ‘fishers of men' we must learn to trust God with humility.
Some Christians have believed in Jesus and accepted his grace, but their lives don't look much different than people around them. Did Jesus want us to just be Christians like that? Or did he hope to see us become more? There was a group of people who traveled everywhere with Jesus and whose lives were totally changed. They were called disciples, and that is Jesus's goal for all Christians in this life. What does it look like to be a disciple? In the story of the first disciples Jesus ever invited to follow him, we get some important ideas. Disciples are simply those with Jesus, and no matter who you are or what life circumstance you're in, you can be a disciple of Jesus. And Jesus is who makes us into disciples, those who can Know, Grow, Go, Together with other disciples. In this message, Pastor Joel explains how Jesus does this.
September 27, 2026 | Pastor Joel Jean-Simon continues the Seek & Save series in Luke 14:25-35
Explore the necessity of the cross in this contemplative Christian devotional based on John 11:45-54. Discover why Jesus's death was always part of God's plan. In Episode 263 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, witness how the religious leaders' decision to kill Jesus unknowingly fulfills prophecy and sets in motion humanity's redemption. Through Caiaphas's unwitting prophecy—"It's better for you that one man should die for the people"—learn how God works through human opposition to accomplish His purposes. This guided meditation and daily spiritual practice will challenge you to understand Jesus's sacrifice and to live in the power of His resurrection. Perfect for anyone seeking to grasp the meaning of the cross and to respond with gratitude and commitment.
This episode examines the skeptic's eight theories of the resurrection and the evidence they can't explain. They include: Contradictory resurrection accountsDisciples going to the wrong tomb.Disciples stealing Jesus' body.Authorities stealing Jesus' body.The Swoon TheoryJesus' appearances were hallucinations.The resurrection as a mythPost-resurrection sightings of Jesus were mistaken identification.The resurrection of Jesus is the heartbeat of Christianity. But what do you do when someone claims the Gospel stories clash? Maybe they say the disciples visited the wrong tomb, Jesus only fainted, or His followers took the body.Questions like these can feel overwhelming, especially if you're new to the faith. But there's no need to panic or shy away from them.Dr. Bob Martin (Pops) examines five common objections to Jesus' resurrection and explains why they cannot explain the historical claims surrounding the empty tomb and the disciples' experiences.We explore the differences in the Gospel accounts, the wrong-tomb idea, stolen-body claims, the swoon theory, hallucinations, legendary growth, and mistaken identity. We also witness the remarkable change in Jesus' disciples, who went from fearful and defeated to courageous voices declaring that Jesus had risen.Our aim is not to win debates, but to help you think deeply, respond with kindness, and grow in confidence when your Christian faith is challenged.Above all, the resurrection is more than a fascinating topic for debate. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then who He is and what He taught calls for a personal response from each of us.Subscribe to Binmin for clear, biblical help as you take your next step with Jesus.
François Gautier est écrivain et journaliste. Ancien correspondant du Figaro en Inde et Asie du Sud-est, auteur de nombreux ouvrages, il est très impliqué dans la vie culturelle, spirituelle et même politique de l'Inde où il vit depuis de longues années.L'ouvrage le plus récent de François Gautier nous permet de découvrir un personnage historique méconnu en Europe : Dara Shukoh (1615-1659), fils aîné de l'empereur moghol qui fit construire le Taj Mahal. Héritier désigné du trône de cette dynastie islamique qui a gouverné l'Inde pendant trois siècles, celui que François Gautier appelle le Prince du soufisme est une figure exceptionnelle très en avance sur son temps, comme sur le nôtre aujourd'hui.Dans une cour impériale traversée par les rivalités politiques et religieuses, se désintéressant du pouvoir et de la guerre, Dara Shukoh s'est passionné pour la mystique, la poésie et la recherche de vérité spirituelle. Peintre, collectionneur d'œuvres d'arts, il a écrit lui-même des poèmes d'amour où perce une dimension mystique qui se rapproche du Cantique des Cantiques. Disciple de maîtres soufis, il a développé une conception d'un Islam éclairé, fondé sur l'expérience intérieure de Dieu, l'amour et l'unité.Dara Shukoh a cherché à comprendre ce qui pouvait unir les différentes spiritualités. Il a étudié les traditions juives, chrétiennes et hindoues, à la recherche d'une vérité qui dépasse toutes les différences doctrinales. Il a noué des relations amicales avec des missionnaires catholiques et protestants, favorisant l'essor du christianisme en Inde.Auteur d'ouvrages de spiritualité, Dara Shukoh a comparé les mystiques du soufisme, du christianisme et des spiritualités orientales, ce qui lui a permis de confirmer une intuition profondément soufie : Dieu est Un. Si les hommes ont multiplié les langages, les traditions et les formes religieuses, tout converge vers le Un : l'amour des humains, l'amour de la beauté ou l'amour du divin.Grâce à la profondeur et la largeur d'esprit de François Gautier, nous pénétrons l'univers fascinant de l'Inde du Taj Mahal : une civilisation florissante, particulièrement subtile, imprégnée par la culture des beaux-arts et la quête spirituelle. Avec lui, nous découvrons également certaines pratiques méditatives orientales, dont le Pranayama, qu'il enseigne en Inde avec son épouse.Pour François Gautier, la destinée tragique de Dara Shukoh marque un tournant tragique pour l'Islam et pour l'ouverture et le rapprochement entre les grandes spiritualités… Le nid des conflits religieux qui sont trop souvent à l'origine des guerres. D'où l'urgence, pour lui, de faire connaître des figures comme celle du Prince du soufisme. Les seules qui peuvent jeter des ponts là où les abîmes se creusent.Pour lire Dara Shukoh, Prince du Soufisme, vers un Islam tolérant, le livre de François Gautier, cliquer ici. -------------- ZETEO, UNE MOSAÏQUE DU CHRISTJe n'imaginais pas, lorsque je publiais la newsletter Zeteo de dimanche midi dernier, qu'elle allait susciter autant de réactions et de messages… Il y en a eu tellement qu'il m'aurait fallu plus d'une semaine pour répondre à chacun. J'ai préféré le faire avec ce message aujourd'hui, pour dire mon émotion et ma gratitude à la vague merveilleuse de soutien que j'ai reçue, cette vague qui n'a cessé de me porter jusqu'aujourd'hui, sur ce petit bateau qu'est Zeteo.Dans cette newsletter, je tentais de répondre à la question posée la veille par une auditrice, si Zeteo ne serait pas devenu ésotérique ? Plus que les éléments que j'y ai alors apportés, je crois que les meilleures réponses sont les vôtres. Voilà pourquoi j'ai choisi d'en restituer la plupart, et vous pouvez les retrouver en cliquant ici pour aller sur la rubrique nos auditeurs sur notre site, que je viens d'actualiser. J'ai bien sûr veillé à garder la discrétion de ces messages, en en préservant l'anonymat.À l'image d'Ana, qui écrit que Zeteo est une mosaïque du Christ, et qui reprend la phrase de Marguerite Kardos qui disait récemment que Zeteo est une abbaye multicolore, vos réponses sont émouvantes, édifiantes, profondes, fouillées…Elles me confirment à quel point ce sentiment que je ressens souvent avec Zeteo se vérifie avec vous comme avec tous les magnifiques invité(e)s de ce podcast : celui du dépassement. Dépassement de sentir que ce qui rassemble tant de belles personnes autour de lui me dépasse, pour ma plus grande joie, et si souvent la vôtre ! Comme le disait Christian Bobin, citation que me répète souvent la merveilleuse Frédérique Lemarchand, « ceux qui nous sauvent ne savent pas qu'ils nous sauvent », et j'ajoute, c'est tellement mieux comme ça !Bien sûr, il n'y a pas eu que des réactions de soutien. Mais par rapport aux centaines de messages et de réactions, je peux dire que des messages de défiance, il n'y en a pas eu plus qu'il n'y a de doigts dans une seule main. Et pourtant, ces réactions m'ont peiné, et c'est à ces personnes en premières que j'ai tenu à répondre personnellement.Chez elles comme parmi certains d'entre vous, j'ai retrouvé cet argument que Zeteo peut parfois surprendre en empruntant des chemins spirituels inhabituels.Une de ces personnes est allée plus loin. Elle m'a interpellé au sujet de ce qui serait une mutation de Zeteo, qui serait tombé dans le « divertissement spirituel, où il y aurait à boire et à manger »…Cette semaine, en pensant à tout cela, j'ai eu une image. C'est celle du Christ marchant en Terre Sainte. On sait qu'il n'a pas toujours suivi les chemins les plus balisés, qu'il n'a pas visité que les villages bien vus, qu'il n'est pas resté au Temple avec les prêtres comme ils l'auraient voulu…J'ai cette image qu'il va toujours au-devant de situations nouvelles, de paysages différents, de personnes différentes… J'ai cette image qu'il va toujours au-devant de tous, qu'il est ouvert, qu'il écoute chacun, qu'il parle à chacun, qu'il guérit, qu'il prédit parfois… Et pourtant, il est toujours le Christ !Et en même temps, comme le disent admirablement certains de vos messages, il échappe toujours aux catégories dans lesquelles on veut le ranger bien vite pour se rassurer, pour ne pas confronter des peurs, ou pour n'en garder parfois que ce qui nous convient.J'arrête là l'image. Il est bien évident que je ne me compare pas à Jésus, même s'il est mon modèle… Mais il y a quand même dans l'aventure de Zeteo quelque chose qui ressemble à ce chemin… Comme je l'écrivais la semaine dernière, le choix des invités se fait au rythme des rencontres, des suggestions des amis, des appels du cœur, en ayant ici la conviction de suivre un fil, avec la joie au cœur, et souvent l'enthousiasme…Mais je n'ai pas le sentiment de changer de direction… je ne me pose même pas cette question ! Le Christ est toujours au cœur.J'aimerais citer ici Agnès, une auditrice. Elle s'est posé la question, lorsque j'ai invité une chamane : « jusqu'où explorer ? y a-t-il des limites à ne pas franchir ? » La conclusion de son message, une vraie ouverture, est très belle.Non, Zeteo ne fait pas de tourisme spirituel. Et si effectivement je n'hésite pas à explorer parfois de nouveaux chemins, n'est-ce pas aussi pour tenter de répondre à cette immense soif spirituelle que vous êtes si nombreux à connaître ?Non, il n'y a pas qu'un seul chemin pour aller au divin, détenu par des institutions qui seraient les seules propriétaires de la vérité. Dieu n'est pas consigné à demeure dans les bénitiers, il ne ruisselle pas que par les goupillons. Il y a une multitude de portes qui communiquent entre le monde visible et le monde invisible. Si les religions ont connu d'immenses désaffections, c'est parce qu'elles ne s'adressaient plus à tant de personnes alors que certaines découvrent de plus en plus que le divin est partout.J'admire le pape Léon, sur notre sol français aujourd'hui, qui veut tellement ouvrir les portes de l'Église catholique ! J'étais bouleversé de voir les images de foules en liesse à Paris, notamment de voir tant de jeunes, au Stade de France ou à la Concorde, tout cela pour suivre le Christ ! Ils ont l'enthousiasme au coeur, malgré toutes les tempêtes qui assaillent le monde, nos institutions et l'Église. Quelle émotion de voir toutes ces foules, la joie et la force merveilleusement intacte d'un peuple immense qui, quoiqu'il arrive, suit irrésistiblement le Christ ! Là aussi, le monde de demain est déjà aujourd'hui.Ici, il y a quelques années, ma fierté était de recevoir de plus en plus de femmes. Ensuite, elle a été de donner la parole à des personnes qui vivent l'exclusion en raison de leur orientation sexuelle. Maintenant, elle est de recevoir des personnes merveilleuses comme Claire Barré, chamane, ou Agnès Stevenin, guérisseuse spirituelle.Non, les chamanes, les thérapeutes spirituels ne sont pas tous des charlatans, ils ne sont pas tous les proies même involontaires d'esprits mauvais. Cessons ces chasses aux sorcières d'un autre âge, pratiquées parfois même par certains qui, en cachette, vont consulter les médiums, voyants ou autres, quand il y a des problèmes.Je suis sûr qu'il y a autant de personnes fiables que d'autres pas fiables, là comme ailleurs, comme dans les églises ou même les écoles. À nous d'être adultes, responsables, et pour cela il est toujours mieux d'être éveillé que de vouloir rester dans l'ignorance ou le déni.Je tiens à redire encore ce que j'ai écrit la semaine dernière : Zeteo, un podcast libre et indépendant, accompagné par une multitude d'amis merveilleux aux suggestions souvent si précieuses. Zeteo cherche la joie, l'amour et la guérison, pas la provocation. J'ose croire que la diversité des profils de ses invités le démontre.Je voudrais finir ce message en répondant aussi à ceux qui m'interrogent sur la présence du Christ, déjà dans le logo, et dans l'introduction de chaque épisode qui n'a pas changé depuis sa création il y a sept ans. Parfois, je reçois la demande de retirer le Christ, soit de ceux qui trouvent que Zeteo serait trop chrétien, soit d'autres qui trouvent qu'il ne l'est plus.J'ai infiniment de respect pour les grandes sagesses, les grandes spiritualités, les grands Maîtres comme Amma ou le Dalaï-Lama… En même temps, et dans le sillage de tant d'invités, parmi lesquels Annick de Souzenelle, Philippe Dautais, Marguerite Kardos, Denis Marquet et tant d'autres, j'ai au cœur cette conviction que le Christ est unique, dans son message d'amour et l'offrande de sa vie.Comme le poète Stéphane Bataillon l'a dit à ce micro, je ne comprends peut-être pas tout du mystère du Christ, mais j'ai la conviction que ce mystère est le cœur et la clé de notre incarnation.Le divin est trop aimant de l'humanité et de sa création pour ne se manifester que par le Christ. En même temps, le Christ reste unique, central, il est l'alpha et l'oméga.Oui, il peut y avoir parfois des épisodes avec des croyants d'autres spiritualités, où on ne parle pas du Christ. Pour moi, le Christ est partout ! Le divin est partout. Ce divin que les chamanes des steppes ou des jungles savent voir dans la nature, que les artistes voient dans la beauté, que les grands cœurs voient dans la générosité, que les prêtres voient dans le religieux… il s'agit partout de la même création en lien avec son créateur divin, génial et merveilleux. N'ayons pas peur, ne séparons pas, unissons ! Ayons parfois l'exigence de sortir des idées reçues, des clichés, des sentiers battus.Si effectivement un auditeur m'a quasiment supplié de retirer l'icône du Christ comme effigie du podcast, il n'est pas rare que je reçoive, de personnes très bien intentionnées, la demande de changer mon introduction qui lui fait référence. J'y ai d'ailleurs réfléchi et j'en ai parlé autour de moi en choisissant à dessein des personnes très différentes, toutes attachées à ce podcast.Je peux me tromper, je suis faillible, avec mes qualités et mes limites. Et puis, je ne suis pas le même — et le podcast non plus — qu'il y a sept ans lorsque je le lançais. Et il est possible qu'aujourd'hui, je rédigerais ma présentation un peu autrement. Possible, mais pas sûr.Ce que je sens aujourd'hui, c'est que je garderai comme effigie le Christ Pantocrator, une icône qui figure dans tant de mosaïques de tant d'églises orientales. Je ne toucherai pas non plus à l'introduction. J'aurais trop l'impression de toucher à l'ADN du podcast, aux intuitions qui lui ont donné naissance… J'ai ici une autre image, celle d'une tunique sans couture, qu'on ne peut donc toucher sans la détruire.Ça n'est pas le Christ qui est clivant. C'est souvent ce que l'on en fait. Le Christ, comme le disait Fadila Semaï à ce micro, n'est pas la propriété de certains. Il appartient à toute l'humanité.Zeteo, podcast indépendant, libre et fragile, est un peu en ligne de crête. C'est pourquoi j'ai été très sensible à tous les soutiens que j'ai reçus ces derniers jours. Je tiens à remercier tous ceux qui l'ont exprimé, comme ceux qui ont fait un don ou qui vont en faire un, car Zeteo ne dépend que d'une générosité qui est tout le temps nécessaire, au rythme d'un effort qui se renouvelle chaque semaine.Cette ligne de crête, vous allez la retrouver maintenant avec Dara Shukoh, le personnage incroyable et pourtant réel que beaucoup d'entre vous allez découvrir dans l'épisode qui vient, présenté par François Gautier que j'ai rencontré la semaine dernière à Paris, alors qu'il vit en Inde la plupart du temps…Je vous souhaite une magnifique semaine dans les couleurs d'or du début de l'automne. La vie est merveilleuse, il y a parfois des peines et des creux mais il y a tellement de joies et de vagues portantes, et je tenais vraiment à partager avec vous tous celles que j'ai ressenties à la réception de l'écrasante majorité des messages.

Spirit of God E10 — After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the Holy Spirit becomes the primary way Jesus' presence and power remains with his followers. The book of Acts demonstrates how the Spirit's coming fulfills the Hebrew Bible's hope for God to dwell with his people in a new kind of temple. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore how Pentecost marks the beginning of a new Spirit-filled temple community, uniting God's people and continuing Jesus' mission.CHAPTERSRecap of Luke and Setup for Acts (0:00-16:19)A New Temple at Pentecost (16:19-34:04)The Spirit Uniting a Scattered Diaspora (34:04-46:21)Jesus' Followers as a New Temple in 1 Peter (46:21-1:00:05)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Acts of the Risen Lord Jesus: Luke's Account of God's Unfolding Plan by Alan J.
