Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we were never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way. On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face on our journeys to glorify God.

Today we get to hear from John T. Rhodes, who lives all the way across the pond in the UK, where he serves as the Minister of Christ Church Central Leads.

John T. has spent the last 10 years planting churches in England, and he's the author of Covenants Made Simple and Man of Sorrows, his brand new book with Crossway.

Today we're talking about Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King. I know you're going to walk away from this conversation with a better understanding of what Christ did for us and what he's doing for us even now.

Before we dive in, I want to tell you about our sponsors who helped make it possible for us to share this conversation with you guys today.

Prefdisch, BJU Press, and the Dwell App. Dwell is an audio Bible app that I love. Their mission is inspired by the psalmist who encourages us in Psalm 119 to hide the word of God in our hearts.

With 15 different inspiring voices, 10 different Bible translations and original background music, you're going to love listening to scripture. One of the coolest things about Dwell is their new Read-A-Long experience.

If you've ever seen Apple Music's lyrics feature, that's exactly what you can expect. Bold text accompanied with beautiful background art that scrolls as the narrator reads to you.

By reading along as you listen, you're able to further reinforce your brain's intake of scripture, significantly increasing your ability to recall and more deeply internalize what you're listening to.

It's such a great option for memorizing passages of scripture. To get started with Dwell, go to dwellapp.io-jernium and to get 10% off a yearly subscription or 33% off Dwell for life, saving you $50.

Visit dwellapp.io-jernium and commit to listening to and loving God's Word.

John T. Rhodes, welcome to the Journey Women Podcast.

Thank you. Good to be with you.

It's very good to be with you. What time is it where you're at because we're in totally different places in the world right now?

We are. Yeah. So I'm in the north of England in Yorkshire, which is the biggest county in England. And it is what it's just gone two o'clock in the afternoon.

Nice. So we're 8 a.m. here. And I just really appreciate you taking time out of your very busy day slash very busy life.

You're getting ready to welcome your fifth baby. And we were trying to squish this interview into a time period before your wife goes into labor.

So thank you, Mrs. Rhodes, for everything.

Yeah, she's a fargoodlier. This is what I am, but yeah, she's doing well thanks and any day now, hopefully we'll have number five driving.

Oh, well, congratulations. And on a personal note, I first became familiar with your work reading Covenants Made Simple, which I benefited from so much.

It's on the topic of the Covenants, but you have a brand new book called Man of Saras published by Crossway. And in Man of Saras, you really unpack the offices of Christ, which is something that we're going to talk about today.

It's something that I've really wanted to sit down and study for a long time. So how did you first become interested in studying and considering Christ as Prophet priest and King?
