Join Ross and Clay as they turn it up to 11 on one of Paul's least known but most universal letters. Paul didn't plant the church in Colossae but he loved them enough to write.

We haven't forgot you friends! In this episode Ross and Clay cover Paul's favorite church, the Philippians. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

Ross and Clay continue through Paul's epistles with the book of Ephesians.

In his letter to the churches in Galatia, Paul pushes grace to its limits. And on the other side is a holiness that will not be defined circumcision or any other adherence to religious piety or social norms. Paul insists that the only thing that matters is grace.

2 Corinthians is a tough letter to read because in it Paul expresses some pain of church hurt. If you've been hurt in church you may resonate. But beneath the pain is an honest defense of both Paul himself and the gospel he proclaims.

Sometime between Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth and this one, Paul was hurt. Words were exchanged. So in addition to all of the theological depth and pastoral care of any of Paul's letters, 2 Corinthians also carries with it the tone of reconciliation. Join Clay and Ross as they kick off Paul's second letter to the Corinthians.

Huge thanks and congratulations to John Archibald, Becca Andrews and their whole team on their podcast: American Shrapnel.

Paul ends 1 Corinthians by addressing some specific issues that may not affect you or your church but whose solutions are universal by using the logic of the cross. And Clay finds out that Ross has always wanted a mullet.

Dr. Chuck Gutenson joins Clay and Ross to kickoff 1 Corinthians with a hard look at Paul's insistence on the foolishness of the cross and how it should affect our lives.

Thanks Doc.
