“If the Church is really supposed to be yours, you’ll have to make that much more obvious than it is at present.”
Joseph Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict XVI, paraphrasing the temptations of Christ
The Church is a vital step in the Story of God. It hearkens back to Eden; it picks up the role of Israel. It is military, and it is political. It recalls themes from King David’s time. It prophesies the Return of Jesus. In this episode, Blaine and Anthony begin a conversation on God’s people, discussing in particular the many names given to the followers of Jesus, names that weave together themes from the story so far.
