Ephesians #4 Spiritual Warfare

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie discuss Paul's exhortation to put on the "full armor of God" and spiritual warfare. They explore it through several lenses, beginning with the biblical narrative of the kingdom of God versus the kingdoms of the world. They emphasize that Satan wages war through deception, and believers are called to respond with the truth of God’s Word. The conversation also delves into the reality of the demonic and how it fits within the broader context of spiritual conflict in the life of faith.

Ephesians 3: Wives, Children, Slaves: What Does This Mean?

So what does Paul say about wives submitting to husbands? And does the Bible endorse slavery? In this episode, Rob and Vinnie explore the household code and Paul's central message to the Ephesians congregation. In doing so, Paul adapted the Roman household code, which was very patriarchal, in light of the Christian ethic and the central command to "Be imitators of God" and "walk in love."

Ephesians: Paul's Classic letter; an overview

The Church Today: dealing with religious Trauma

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie explore the realities of religious trauma and spiritual abuse—how they manifest, their lasting impact, and why so many have been hurt by the very place meant to offer healing. We discuss how the church has too often been a source of harm rather than refuge and what it truly means to be a place of restoration and grace. What does a Christ-centered response to spiritual abuse look like? Join us as we engage in an honest, compassionate conversation about pain, faith, and the hope for a healthier, more redemptive church.

Artemis, Women pastors (2 Tim 2), and Ephesians with Sandra Glahn

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie interview NT scholar Sandra Glahn to discuss her book Nobody's Mother. Sandra argues that understanding the historical, archaeological, and inscriptional evidence relating to Artemis provides a critical backdrop to Paul's letter to Timothy and his exhortation that wives should not be teaching their husbands because Adam was made first and Eve sinned first, and to the book of Ephesians.

Galatians Part 7: The Fruit of the Spirit and the Deeds of the Flesh

Rob and Vinnie dive into Galatians 5, exploring the contrast between the deeds of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. They discuss how Paul’s list of sinful behaviors was meant to be viewed collectively rather than as isolated wrongs, challenging the Galatians' sense of superiority over others. Paul’s emphasis on the fruit of the Spirit wasn’t about rigid moralism but about the freedom found in Christ. But what does it truly mean to live by the Spirit and bear its fruit? Rob and Vinnie break down each aspect of this passage, offering practical insights on how the Church today can embody Spirit-led living
