    Unscrolled | Episode 42: A Look Back: Revival, Reason, and the Megiddo Mosaic

    This week, we’re featuring a special recap episode highlighting some of our most memorable conversations. Andy Steiger and Wes Huff of Apologetics Canada discuss why many people, especially younger generations, are becoming increasingly open to spirituality as they search for deeper answers about meaning, purpose, and human value. They explore how the Bible provides both a historical foundation and a framework for understanding ethics, identity, and truth.   Next, host Matthias sits down with Dr. Bobby Duke, chief curatorial officer of Museum of the Bible, to examine the significance of the Megiddo Mosaic, an archaeological discovery from one of the earliest known Christian worship spaces. Together, they unpack what this remarkable find reveals about the beliefs, practices, and community life of some of Christianity’s earliest followers.  Finally, Pastors Tim Timberlake and Philip Anthony Mitchell of the Street Preachers podcast share their perspective on a growing global revival movement, arguing that genuine spiritual renewal is being fueled not by church-growth strategies or personalities, but by prayer, biblical proclamation, authentic worship, and discipleship.    Show Notes:   Unscrolled, Episode 4: Can I Trust the Bible?
