Episode 2.47
What would you write if you were chained to a Roman guard for your faith? Complaints? Regrets?
Paul wrote joy.
In this episode, Zach and Michael explore the first half of Paul’s Prison Epistles—Ephesians and Colossians—letters written not from comfort but from captivity. These epistles remind us that Christ’s lordship isn’t limited by our circumstances, and that the gospel still advances even when the messenger is confined.
Covered in this episode:
– How Paul’s imprisonment shaped his theology and tone
– The supremacy of Christ in Colossians 1 and the unity of the church in Ephesians
– Household codes and how the gospel reshapes family and work
– The connection between Paul’s chains and the church’s mission
– Why the church remains God’s “Plan A” for displaying His glory
Next time, the journey continues with Philippians—Paul’s letter of joy in suffering and the great Christ Hymn that reshapes how we think about humility, glory, and worship.
