It's not only about what you can see, which I think is a bit of Paul's point here,

that the super apostles look impressive, but the deep work of the spirit is more impressive.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can all, anybody can look impressive, but it's extremely impressive to actually become a different type of person.

Welcome to the Spoken Gospel podcast.

Spoken Gospel is a ministry that's dedicated to speaking the gospel out of every corner of Scripture.

In Luke 24, Jesus told his disciples that every part of the Bible is about him.

In each episode, hosts David and Seth work through a passage

of scripture to see how it's all about Jesus and his good news. Let's jump in. Well, welcome everybody to a very special episode of the spoken gospel podcast.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Last time we looked at 2 Corinthians.

We did like a holistic overview of the book. Today we're

going to zoom in to about two chapters within it because they have specific import to spoken

gospel and our mission here. Yes. And a lot of times we talk about what we're trying to do at

spoken gospel and why we're trying to do it.

We refer back to these chapters.

That's right.

And mainly, just to simplify it, so everybody knows what we're talking about, is mainly the idea that when we behold Jesus in Scripture, we become like him.

And so we tend to differentiate between Bible engagement and transformative Bible

engagement. There's a type of Bible engagement that actually changes you. And that is one

precipitated by an encounter with Jesus. And so that's why we try to show the gospel in all

of scripture is so people can have an encounter with Jesus and be transformed. And we, we try to get that from this text here.
