On this week’s episode, Mat and Magrey talk about both Galatians & Ephesians with Rev Dr. John Christianson.

The Rev. Dr. John Christianson is the lead pastor at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Williamsburg, Iowa, and adjunct professor of the Upper Midwest Course of Study program through Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. He received his Ph.D. from Brite Divinity School in New Testament Studies and is a keen interest in the first-century Greco-Roman world. He was also a seminary classmate of Magrey’s at United Theological Seminary, where they received their Masters of Divinity degrees.

Their talk today helps shed light on the differences between these letters and the people to whom they were written. We have an opportunity to learn more about the ministry and person of Paul. They have a helpful conversation on how a modern audience can read and apply ancient biblical texts. It ends with Dr. Christianson’s favorite imagery in the Ephesians.
