"Christ" Is Not a Name – Anointed E1
The title most often applied to Jesus is “the anointed one”—that’s what the Greek word “christ” means! But what is the practice of anointing? What does it signify, and who gets anointed? The practice of anointing people with oil is a theme we can trace throughout the entire story of the Bible. In this episode, Tim and Jon start a brand new theme study all about anointing.

How Will Jesus Use His Power? – Firstborn E9
Under levitical law, touching anyone unclean would make you unclean too. But when Jesus touches people who are unclean, they get healed and become clean instead––it’s like his holiness is contagious. In this episode, Tim and Jon talk about the way Jesus uses his power and authority as the cosmic firstborn.

God's Firstborn Son – Firstborn E8
The authors of the gospel accounts in the Bible—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—regularly refer to Jesus as the Son of God, a title that’s connected to the theme of the firstborn. In this episode, Tim and Jon explore what it means that Jesus is God’s Son through the stories of his baptism and testing in the wilderness. Listen in to find out how Jesus uses his power in a way we’ve never seen another human do before.

David, the Latecomer King – Firstborn E7
In the scroll of Samuel, Israel demands a king in place of the judges that have been ruling over them. It sounds like a simple enough request, but Yahweh calls it idolatrous. Why? In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss the motives behind Israel’s request and the role of Israel’s first kings, Saul and David, in the unfolding theme of the firstborn.
Customer Reviews
I finally understand concepts I’ve heard about since childhood
This has been so eye-opening for my husband and me! We’ve learned truths about God that have healed our hearts and our skewed perspectives after being brought up in legalistic backgrounds.
I’m always learning something new
This podcast has taught me so much about how to read the Bible as a unified story. I’ve loved the series going through the Torah and it’s given me a whole new appreciation for the first 5 books of the Bible.
In every episode, I always seem to learn something new. I’d recommend this show to anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible. The hosts do a fantastic job of breaking down very complex topics and themes in an interesting and easy to understand way. It really makes the Bible feel so much more approachable.
todays re-release of Heisers interview was such an appropriate thing to do.
have sadly watched him wither lately and was glad to take part w a community tribute. So thank you BP
