Dr. Jacobs explains the Eastern Christian understanding of Christ's descent into Hades, distinguishing it from Hell. The letter clarifies how Eastern Church fathers viewed Christ's descent as destroying death's power and liberating humanity. A comparison with Western theological perspectives reveals fundamental differences in how these traditions understand this doctrine.All the links: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheNathanJacobsPodcastX: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastSubstack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Website: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/Academia: https://vanderbilt.academia.edu/NathanAJacobs

In Genesis 22:20-24; 25:1-6, 12-18 there are a number of genealogies recorded. Many see genealogies and skip them thinking they are unimportant. The genealogies of Genesis have a theological purpose. Here we see that the genealogies highlight the surprising ways the promises of God are fulfilled which points to their greater fulfillment in Christ.

Questioning the Trinity is like trying to cancel a gym membership—taxing, frustrating, and somehow you end up in worse shape. But why is there such a visceral reaction to even questioning it? In this video, I break down Theological Stockholm Syndrome—how centuries of persecution, dogma, and intellectual investment make the Trinity untouchable for many Christians.Inspired by a video from Ruslan (a rich man's Mike Winger), I explore:

It's time for church leaders and believers to stop offering prettily packaged responses from a safe distance. It's time for us to sit in the ashes with the hurting, our Sunday clothes covered in dirt and grime, our faces lined with tears. Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the church needs to go.The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren't simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer for church leaders as they engage the pain in their congregations?Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In this incredible tool for ministry leaders and trauma survivors alike, Keener offers:deep wisdom at the intersection of trauma theory and the book of Job for Christian communitiesreflection questions for ministry practitioners and those walking alongside those who have experienced traumaengagement with the idea of a shattered worldview and how to overcome the effects of that experience.Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It's time for the church to do the same.1. You define trauma as a response to an event and not the event itself. Why is it important that events are not defined as trauma?2. In your book, you reference Judith's Herman's Three Stages of Recovery. What is it and why did you use Herman's concept?3. On page 49-51 you mention how it is common for people to present with Denial, Avoidance, and Shock as a standardresponse. However, this can lead friends and family to confuse their presentation with maturity or faithfulness, can you share more about that?4. In several places you insightfully point to the inner conflict of Job's friends. How does trauma challenge our ordinaryassumptions of how the world works? Can you also say moreabout The Retribution Principle?5. Toward the end of the book you mention how God comes to Job in his ashes. Why is this important for those who are desperate for hope?6. You mention the art of Kintsugi, how can this concept help us understand the trauma healing process?

Lucifer is one of the most complex and historically misinterpreted figures in Western religious and esoteric traditions. While commonly associated with Satan and the Devil in Christian theology, the name Lucifer, meaning "light-bearer" in Latin, initially referred to the morning star, Venus, in Roman astronomical and literary traditions. This episode examines the historical development of Lucifer, tracing his transformation from a celestial body to a theological symbol of rebellion, pride, and forbidden knowledge.We begin by exploring Lucifer's origins in Greco-Roman thought, where he was poetically invoked as the herald of dawn, with no demonic associations. The shift toward his identification as a fallen angel occurred through the interpretation of Isaiah 14:12 in the Latin Vulgate, where St. Jerome translated helel ben shachar ("shining one, son of the dawn") as Lucifer. Though initially a reference to the Babylonian king's downfall, early Church Fathers reinterpreted this passage in a cosmic framework, eventually merging Lucifer with Satan in medieval theology.This video also examines Lucifer's presence in alternative traditions. In esoteric currents such as Gnosticism, Renaissance Hermeticism, and modern occultism, Lucifer has been reinterpreted as a symbol of enlightenment and spiritual liberation rather than as a fallen adversary of God. The Romantic era further complicated his image, with figures like John Milton and William Blake casting Lucifer as a tragic hero challenging divine authority.Using primary texts and scholarly research, this episode provides an in-depth analysis of how religious doctrine, literary imagination, and cultural shifts shaped the evolving identity of Lucifer. How did an astronomical term become a feared adversary of divine order? And what does Lucifer's ongoing reinterpretation reveal about the tension between orthodoxy and esoteric knowledge?CONNECT & SUPPORT

This episode comprehensively examines the intersection of faith and daily vocation, as we continue our Whole Church Job Fair series. With Ryan Does, a seasoned merchandiser for a regional bread company and an accomplished podcaster, we delve into the relevance of theological discussions often reserved for seminaries and churches. We explore how the principles of the Imago Dei and social justice manifest in everyday work, particularly in the context of Ryan's experiences. Throughout our discourse, we reflect on the necessity of empathy, community, and authentic engagement in both professional and spiritual realms. Ultimately, this conversation seeks to illuminate how our daily occupations can serve as a canvas for embodying our faith in tangible, meaningful ways.Ryan Does joins us to delve into the nexus of everyday work and the theological concepts often debated within church circles and seminaries. As a merchandiser for a regional bread company and the host of two podcasts, 'Across the Bifrost' and 'Skipping Church', Ryan offers a unique perspective on how theological discussions can permeate our daily lives, particularly through the lens of his own experiences in the workplace. The conversation navigates the relevance of theological themes such as the doctrine of the Imago Dei and social justice, arguing that these concepts are not merely abstract principles but are intimately tied to the way we engage with one another in our communities and professions. Through anecdotes and thoughtful dialogue, we explore how integrating these theological insights can foster a more compassionate society and encourage meaningful connections among individuals, ultimately enriching both personal and communal life. The episode further investigates the significance of soft skills and conflict resolution in Ryan's line of work, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of everyday professions that reflect deeper theological truths. We confront the challenges faced by church leaders in addressing real-world issues with authenticity and empathy, advocating for a shift away from superficial engagement towards deeper, more meaningful interactions. By examining how our work can serve as a manifestation of our faith, Ryan inspires listeners to consider the ways in which their own occupations can contribute to the greater good and the embodiment of Christlike qualities in the world around us. In a broader context, the discussion underscores the necessity for church leaders and theologians to remain grounded in the realities of everyday life, recognizing that their teachings must resonate with the lived experiences of their congregations. As Ryan articulates, fostering a church culture that values genuine relationships over mere performance can lead to a richer, more fulfilling expression of faith that transcends traditional boundaries. Ultimately, this episode serves as a clarion call for unity and understanding within the Church, urging us to embody the principles of love and service in every facet of our lives, especially in our workplaces. Takeaways: In the contemporary context, the theological discussions pertinent to church and seminary can profoundly influence daily occupational practices and interpersonal interactions. Ryan Does articulates that integrity in one's work serves as a testimony to one's character and can foster meaningful relationships within the community. The podcast emphasizes the significance of viewing others through the lens of the imago Dei, advocating for empathy and understanding in all interpersonal relationships. Through addressing theological topics, the hosts aim to bridge the gap between ecclesiastical discourse and the realities faced by individuals in their everyday lives. ..The Music in this episode is "Day by Day" by the Porter's Gate Collective.

Segment 1: • Christians struggle to disagree well—social media makes it worse. • Todd & Scott Klusendorf have debated for years but remain friends. • Theological debates often aren't about core doctrine but secondary issues. Segment 2: • You can reason someone into being pro-life, but only the Gospel saves. • Pro-life work must be gospel-driven, not just about changing culture. • Objective morality requires an objective moral lawgiver—atheists borrow from Christianity. Segment 3: • Scott partners with Catholics on pro-life issues—Todd is hesitant. • Does working together send a false unity message? • If the Gospel isn't clearly proclaimed, is it worth the partnership? Segment 4: • Both sides want abortion abolished—disagreement is on strategy. • Incrementalism saves lives now, abolitionists demand immediate justice. • Are abolitionists hurting their cause by rejecting practical steps?
