Podcasts about eunuchs

Send us a textIn this episode, Glenn, Arnie and Fred continue discussing Acts chapter 8 where Philip was sent by the Holy Spirit to go near the chariot of the Ethiopian eunuch who was returning from worshipping God in Jerusalem. We discussed how Philip did that and was able to preach Jesus to him from Isaiah chapter 53. We note how the eunuch learned about baptism, belief and confession. We then note that there is one more thing that one must do to be saved according to Jesus, and we talk about that. We move on to a discussion of each of the specific things that New Testament says one must do to be saved. We point out the specific passages that the tell us what the Lord requires everyone to obey in order to be saved. We note that denominations teach differently about what one must do to be saved. We ran out of time before we finished this subject and will address the conclusion next week. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this episode provided for your convenience.

Fr. Mike focuses on the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch and how it demonstrates the importance of having guidance when reading Scripture. Although God's Word is infallible, we can easily misunderstand it without proper interpretation, which is why we have the Magisterium of the Church. Lastly, Fr. Mike also touches on the role of persecution in the life of the Church, and St. Paul's encouragement to abide by the law of love. Today we read Acts 8, Romans 13-14, and Proverbs 27:15-17.

Send us a textWe begin this episode by continuing our discussion of the importance to understand that the Bible is complete and we cannot add anything to it or remove anything from it. It is our guide for everything we do in our lives as well as what the church does, how to be saved and what we are to teach. Consequently, we need nothing else to guide us, particularly any man-made documents to specify what the church does like most denominations have. We note that even if the sign says "church of Christ" one must examine if that church follows the New Testament in all that it does. We next begin our discussion of what the Bible says about being saved. We note that God wants all people to be saved. We note what Jesus says about a narrow and a wide gate and how they relate to one's spiritual life. Jesus discusses a proper foundation as well. We look at that. We include in this episode a short discussion of sin, what it is and what it does, as well as what we, as Christians, can do about it. We move to a discussion of the importance of understanding when the Bible is literal and when it is figurative in what is written. We talk about what Peter by the Holy Spirit said about when we are speaking about God and His word. We look at some plain passages that say what one must do to be saved and what many in the denominational world say about them. We discuss the example of Philip teaching the Ethiopian eunuch about Jesus and what the eunuch learned and did. We ran out of time before we completed this discussion. So, we will begin the next episode with it. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying.

In this pod Mike and Gidget are jimless this week as week talk news, tv, and The Eunuch Maker.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked call of the King's eunuchs—those who were entrusted with preparing the bride, guarding the inner courts, and stewarding what was sacred. From the story of Esther to the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 19 and the prophetic promise of Isaiah 56, there is a powerful thread of consecration, loyalty, and holiness.This isn't just historical—it's prophetic. In this hour, God is raising up modern-day eunuchs: leaders who don't touch the bride for personal gain, but prepare her for the return of the King. Voices who can be trusted with influence because they've surrendered their ambition. Hearts who know the King intimately and care more about proximity to His throne than popularity among the people.If you've been called to protect the purity of the Church, carry the burden of the Lord, or stand in intercession for a generation, this message is for you. The King is looking for those He can trust. Will you be one?Support the show

GAZA Road Lessons | His Word, His Plan, His People In today's episode, we look at Philip's unexpected call to leave a thriving ministry in Samaria for a dusty, desert road. What followed was a Spirit-ordained moment with eternal impact. Discover how listening to God, sharing boldly, and trusting His plan—even without all the details—can lead to life change for you and others. Key Takeaways: 1. Obeying without hesitation opens doors for God to move through you. 2. The Holy Spirit still speaks—our role is to slow down and listen. 3. Every believer is called to share Jesus, not just the trained or titled. 4. God's plan may lead you away from comfort and toward a single person in need. 5. Your obedience today could be the start of someone else's eternity.

The Berserk-in continues this week on WSP as the court proves just as dangerous as the battlefield for Griffith. And Foss proves that he is terrible at lying about anything.

While Philip was leading the rapid growth of the church in Samaria, a messenger from God sent him far South on a desert road to meet an Ethiopian eunuch who was returning home. Read to explain the scriptures, the Eunuch not only received Christ but was baptised along the side of the road. We explore the power of the gospel and why it is good news for this man searching for God. 

What can we learn about evangelism from the book of Acts? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider one account from Acts 8:26–40.

From the royal courts of Babylon to the Acts of the Apostles, eunuchs appear in some of the most intriguing corners of the biblical story. But what did it really mean to be a eunuch in antiquity? Were they trusted chamberlains at the heart of ancient empires, symbols of inclusion at the edges of faith, or even 'angel'-like beings transcending the ordinary categories of gender?In this episode, Helen and Lloyd are joined by Shaun Tougher to explore the lives of eunuchs in the ancient world and their reception in early Christianity. Shaun Tougher is Professor or Late Roman Byzantine History at Cardiff University and the author of The Roman Castrati: Eunuchs in the Roman Empire (2022). He is a world-leading expert in the study of eunuchs. SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

Fourteen centuries of enslavement, from the Prophet Muhammad's day to modern Mauritania. Justin Marozzi's fascinating book "Captives and Companions"  has as its subject the complex history of slavery across the Islamic world, challenging simplistic narratives and revealing uncomfortable truths about power, race, and religion.Our conversation touches on how Islam didn't invent slavery but incorporated existing practices while encouraging manumission. We talk about the huge diversity of slavery - from the devastating Zanj Rebellion when East African slaves revolted in Iraq, to the paradoxical power of Mamluk slave-soldiers who became sultans. I particularly liked how Justin managed to balance the brilliance and the cruelty of the concubines at the court in Baghdad at the height of its power. We also spent a lot of time discussing eunuchs. What purpose they served, the way Islam got round the prohibition on the practice and how and why the use of eunuchs lasted so long.The racial side of things was a surprise to me. Primary sources from Islam's greatest medieval intellectuals expose deeply racist attitudes toward black Africans, while white Circassian slaves commanded premium prices. And the Barbary Corsairs provided another surprise, with a surprising number of Europeans who "turned Turk" to join Muslim pirates enslaving fellow Christians across the Mediterranean.When we reach abolition, Marozzi talked about how external Western pressure, not internal Islamic reform, primarily drove formal emancipation. And his interviews with people in Mali and Mauritania document hereditary slavery continuing today, with miserable stories of those fighting for freedom in the 21st century.You can send a message to the show/feedback by clicking here.

The Time Machine is back... with some changes! Join Helen and her new co-host, ancient history Prof. Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, as they discuss what they're working on at the moment: everything from ancient Babylon, the Hittites and Persia's first lady to ancient 'lives' and the historical Mary. They are also joined by the show's new researcher and producer, Dr John Nelson. They explore John's research on the absence of a physical description of Jesus in the Gospels, and ask how Jesus came to acquire the familiar appearance he has today. This episode also offers a glimpse into what is coming up on Season 4: Dale Allison on Interpreting Jesus, Sean Tougher on Eunuchs in the Bible & Beyond, and Louise Lawrence on Disability and the Gospels, among many others! SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

In this hard-hitting follow-up, author Medha ji dismantles pop-culture myths around the Mughals and revisits why Ch. Shivaji Maharaj's revolution mattered. She challenges romanticized screen portrayals (Salim the “hero,” Akbar the “liberal”) with court chronicles and references, then contrasts them with Ch. Shivaji's governance—protecting civilians, punishing molestation, and easing agrarian burdens. We also examine the human cost of imperial monuments—extraction from farmers, enslavement, famine—and ecological shifts like poppy displacing native crops, alongside Jahangir's own tally of mass hunts. Finally, we address textbook narratives that blur the Maratha handover to the British—and why remembering accurately matters now.

In this powerful message from Shane Willard, originally shared at the CIM Network Conference hosted by Hill City Church, we explore one of the most challenging and freeing questions for the Church today: Are we building fences to keep people out, or digging wells to draw people in?Using the story of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, Shane unpacks what it means to move from a fence-based to a well-based faith - where inclusion, love, and transformation take priority over exclusion and rule-keeping. This teaching will stretch your perspective, challenge old paradigms, and inspire you to reimagine what it means to be a follower of Jesus in today's world.00:00 - Intro & Podcast Update01:14 - Why We're Sharing Shane Willard's Sermons02:54 - Shane's Opening & Vision for the Weekend06:48 - Two Framing Stories10:46 - From Fences to Wells11:13 - Acts 8 and the Eunuch's Question17:05 - Fence-Based vs. Well-Based Paradigms23:03 - The Unexpected Fruit in Ethiopia23:47 - 10 Contrasts Between Fence & Well-Based Churches27:06 - Hiddenness vs. Honesty in Church Culture28:09 - Measuring Distance vs. Direction31:24 - The Atheist Door Greeter Story33:04 - Legal Transaction vs. Way of Life36:12 - Heaven Now, Not Just Someday37:01 - God for Me vs. God for the World39:06 - From ‘Saved' to ‘Thirsty'40:09 - What Makes a Thirsty Culture?41:47 - Jesus Redefines Access at the Temple43:30 - Wrestling With Application47:56 - Are We Digging Wells or Building Fences?49:06 - Final Blessing & Challenge

In this episode, Rob Griffin unpacks the story of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, inviting us to see it not just as a story of conversion, but as a radical moment of inclusion. With historical insight and theological depth, Rob explores how eunuchs in the ancient world represented gender and sexual minorities—and how scripture speaks directly to their belovedness.Through passages from Isaiah, Matthew, and Acts, this teaching reaffirms God's welcome to those often left out. Recorded during Pride Month, it's a timely reminder that the gospel is good news for everyone.Kindred Church is a Christian community gathering in Reno, Nevada.

In one of our most horrifying episodes yet, we look at a man who clamped and amputated the genitals of potentially hundreds of men, and carried out unimaginable sexual torture – all from his basement flat in North London.But what makes this story truly unbelievable is that every one of those victims wanted for it to happen. They belonged to a secretive community of 'nullos' – people who fantasise about the removal of sexual organs. And each procedure was filmed and streamed for a waiting online community of tens of thousands of members. There, disembodied penises and testicles were auctioned off… and even eaten. It's time to discover the savage online empire of the Eunuch Maker.Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
