What if the Old Testament wasn’t just ancient history—but a divine setup for the Gospel?
In this episode of Naughty vs. Nice: A Christian Podcast, Todd and Laura explore how the lives of Samson, Isaac, Joseph, Noah, Abel, David, and others weren’t random Bible stories—they were shadows and types pointing straight to Jesus. From Isaac’s near-sacrifice on Mount Moriah to Samson’s final act of deliverance, each story echoes a greater fulfillment: Christ Himself.
We’ll dive into:
-
Why Abel’s blood cried out, but Christ’s speaks a better word
-
How Hebrews 11 isn't just a hall of faith—but a breadcrumb trail to Jesus
-
What Jericho’s fall, Noah’s ark, and David’s sling all reveal about redemption
-
Why seeing the shadows matters for understanding the substance
If you've ever wondered how to read the Bible as one unified story—not a scattered collection of moral tales—this episode will shift your perspective and deepen your awe for Scripture’s divine authorship.
