- How did the earliest believers, those in the New Testament era and shortly aft...
In this episode, we explore the covenantal argument for baptism.
Throughout Scripture, God makes covenants with His people, and baptism is often viewed as the sign of initiation into that covenant relationship. But how do these two ideas connect? How does a biblical understanding of God’s covenants shape the way we think about baptism?
We’ll argue that, based on our relationship with God under the new covenant, baptism should be ad...

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
