Have you ever wondered what the Bible really teaches about the body, soul, and spirit? In this episode of the Radically Christian Bible Study Podcast, Chris McCurley and Wes McAdams tackle common misconceptions about these ideas that many Christians assume are biblical but are actually influenced more by Greek philosophy.
Diving deep into Scripture, Chris and Wes explain that the soul refers to our whole being, including both physical body and immaterial spirit or breath. This challenges dualistic thinking that devalues the body as disposable compared to an eternal soul. As they unpack verses about resurrection, it becomes clear God intends to redeem us wholly - soul and body. This study brings to life how the doctrine of bodily resurrection should radically reframe how we view life and salvation.
Chris and Wes aim to help Christians embrace the full goodness of God's creation, care holistically for the physical and spiritual needs of people, and live out Jesus' kingdom mission in the here and now. This is a truly fascinating discussion you won't want to miss.
