Summary

What did Jesus mean when he said his followers would do “greater works” than him? Does the ancient Filioque Clause (“and the Son”) still divide the church today? And what does it really mean to love God more than your family? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three deep and very human questions - about miracles, the Trinity, and discipleship. Tom reminds listeners that real faith is costly, but never silent: ”The God who made the world has come forward to meet us in the person of his Son.” Whether you’re wrestling with theology or your own walk of faith, this episode bridges head and heart with vintage Wright insight.
