    11-4 - The Other Side of the Cross: The Subject of All Scripture

    In this fourth episode of our Resurrection Series, Tim and Steve journey down the Emmaus Road (Luke 24:13–35) to explore how the resurrected Christ reveals Himself in all of Scripture—especially the Old Testament. Far more than symbolic or prophetic references, we discover that Christ is eternally present in the Scriptures—indwelling time itself and inviting us to encounter Him in a living, sacramental way. This episode dives into: Why Luke 24 contains the longest resurrection story in the GospelsHow Eucharist opens our eyes to recognize ChristWhat "sacramental time" means and why it mattersChristophanies, typology, and Jesus’ ongoing presence in the Old TestamentWhy reading Scripture with Jesus changes everythingThe beauty of Christ pursuing us—even when we’re stuck in disappointment💖 Support the mission: https://www.impactnations.com/monthly-giving-champions 📘 Grab the book: https://a.co/d/e0yN8v7 🔔 Subscribe and join us every Thursday as we follow the Resurrected King into deeper revelation. #ResurrectionSeries #ImpactNations #ChristInScripture #OldTestamentJesus #Typology #SacramentalTime #Eucharist #RoadToEmmaus #JesusRevealed #PodcastTheology

    11-3 - The Other Side of the Cross: We Must Not Be Passive

    In this third episode of our Resurrection Series, Tim and Steve explore one of the most misunderstood disciples—Thomas. Was he really a doubter… or just a man who longed for the same encounter his friends had? This powerful conversation will challenge how we think about doubt, belief, church community, and what it means to bear the marks of grace. 💡 What you’ll discover in this episode: Why Jesus showed His wounds—and what it means for usTwo interpretations of “if you retain the sins of any” (John 20:23)Why shame is never from GodHow Jesus meets each person uniquely in their painThe power of inclusion and the danger of religious scapegoatingThe connection between resurrection, Eucharist, and true humanity📌 "The church is not a community of judgment. It’s a community of the forgiven.” 💖 Support the mission: https://www.impactnations.com/monthly-giving-champions ➡️ Want to experience it firsthand?

    11-2 - The Other Side of the Cross: Marks of God's Grace

    What does it mean that Jesus still has scars after the resurrection? Why does He breathe on His disciples? And what is the significance of Mary Magdalene’s encounter in the garden? In this powerful follow-up to Episode 1, Tim and Steve explore John 20:11–23, uncovering deep truths about identity, commissioning, and the Spirit-breathed birth of the Church.

    11-1 - The Other Side of the Cross: On Holy Ground

    We're back with a brand-new series on the Impact Nations Podcast—this time, digging deep into the resurrection of Jesus. Tim and Steve Stewart kick things off with the Gospel of John and explore how three often-overlooked details—the folded face cloth, the angels inside the tomb, and Jesus being mistaken as a gardener—are actually rich with theological meaning and profound relevance for our lives today. 📌 In this episode: What the folded face cloth reveals about Jesus and MosesHow the angels point to the reestablishment of the mercy seatWhy Jesus as a gardener is more than just a case of mistaken identityWhat the resurrection means for our own humanityHow to see Jesus clearly in places of grief, darkness, and deathThe role of the resurrection in Christian creeds and Church traditionPractical encouragement for walking by faith—not by sightThis is the first of six episodes in a journey through John and Luke's post-resurrection accounts. Let’s explore what it means to live resurrection life today. 📖 Scripture References: John 20, 1 Corinthians 15, Jeremiah 31, Exodus 37, Genesis 1, Proverbs 8 🌍 Support the work: https://www.impactnations.com/monthly-giving-champions 🎙️ #ImpactNationsPodcast #Resurrection #FaceCloth #MercySeat #DivineGardener #JesusIsAlive #NewCovenant #NewCreation #JohnsGospel #Christianity #Faith #Creeds #BiblicalTheology #SteveStewart #TimStewart #KingdomOfGod
