episode 10-18 Christus Victor artwork
10-18 Christus Victor

What if the story of the Cross was never about satisfying a wrathful God, but about defeating the very forces that hold humanity in bondage? In this episode, Tim and Steve unpack the ancient view of the atonement known as Christus Victor—the belief that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, sin, death, and Satan were overthrown once and for all. They explore how this early church understanding offers a cosmic perspective of salvation, rooted not in guilt and punishment but in liberation and restoration. Along the way, they revisit the teachings of Irenaeus and Pelagius, challenging centuries-old assumptions and rediscovering the triumphant love revealed at Calvary. Highlights: * How Pelagius, often misunderstood as a heretic, actually reflected the sacred anthropology of early Celtic and Eastern Christianity. * The contrast between Augustine’s doctrine of original sin and Pelagius’s view of the divine image in humanity. * Why the early church understood the Cross as a cosmic victory over sin, death, and the devil—not divine punishment. * Jesus' death as a triumphant descent into death and Hades to rescue humanity, not a ransom paid to God or Satan. * The role of the Trinity in the crucifixion: God was in Christ, reconciling the world through self-giving love. * How the Christus Victor perspective calls us into a life of freedom, restoration, and participation in Christ’s victory. 🎧 Listen to the full series at: https://impactnations.com/podcast 🌍 Learn more about the mission: https://impactnations.com ❤️ Become a Monthly Giving Champion: https://impactnations.com/give-monthly

episode 10-17 A Violent God? (Penal Substitutionary Atonement Theory) artwork
10-17 A Violent God? (Penal Substitutionary Atonement Theory)

For centuries, the dominant explanation for the cross in Western Christianity has been rooted in retribution—Jesus taking the punishment we deserved. Is that really the whole story? Does it reflect the true heart of God? In this episode we trace the historical development of the Penal Substitutionary Atonement theory. How did theology, empire, and culture combine to shape a view of God that is more violent than loving? Is it time for a different lens?

episode 10-16 A Precarious Progression (from Original Sin) artwork
10-16 A Precarious Progression (from Original Sin)

This week on The Road to the Cross, Tim and Steve dive into one of the most influential ideas in Western Christianity: original sin. How did a fifth-century theory by Augustine come to dominate our understanding of salvation, the cross, and even our identity? Tracing the theology from Eden to empire, they uncover a progression that reshaped how many Christians understand God's character—introducing fear, shame, and legalism into what was meant to be good news. 📌 Highlights include: * The history and impact of Augustine’s doctrine of original sin * Why translation errors in Romans 5 changed everything * What the early church believed about humanity’s nature * Why PSA (Penal Substitutionary Atonement) became dominant—and what's missing * How recovering a restorative gospel can reshape your faith This is Part 1 of a two-part exploration of atonement theories—don’t miss next week’s episode as we examine Christus Victor. 💡 If you’ve ever felt like the gospel was more about shame than restoration, this conversation is for you. 🌐 Learn more or support our mission: impactnations.com [https://impactnations.com/]

10-15 Cruciform Love (with Dr. Bradley Jersak)

This week on The Road to the Cross, Tim travels to Canada to sit down with theologian and author Bradley Jersak for a powerful conversation about cruciform love—the kind of love revealed on the cross that lays down power, enters our suffering, and forgives without limits. Together, they unpack what it means for Jesus to be self-giving, radically forgiving, and co-suffering—and how this shapes the way we pray, lead others, and share the gospel. With compelling stories, theological depth, and practical insights, this episode is a heartfelt invitation to reimagine what love really looks like when it’s shaped by the cross. 📌 Highlights: * Why Jesus’ love isn’t just admired—it’s lived * Making space for people to encounter Christ personally * The problem with fear-based evangelism * How the Holy Spirit empowers us to embody love * Practical ways to lead people to Jesus without pressure This is one of our most intimate and revealing conversations yet—don’t miss it. 🔗 Learn more or donate at impactnations.com [https://impactnations.com/]

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
