Episode notes

Nakedness is actually a court image in the bible for shame. There's three main images for shame in the bible, and its naked, defiled and outside the camp. All three of those get changed and transformed and responded to by christ. It's a beautiful biblical theological groundwork laying for the work of Christ. But nakedness built into that is a cor image of shame. You can just trace that naked in shame throughout.

All our fears can be encapsulated in three words: security, life, and justification. But the Bible repeatedly tells us, “Fear not!” So how do we live without fear? In this episode, the WHI hosts consider how fear can shift from terror to trust, from law and gospel. They examine the biblical promises that undergird the commands to fear not, celebrating the comfort found in facing our fears united to Christ.
