The Importance of Biblical Theology for Everyday Christians

In this episode, Caleb is joined by Sam Emadi (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) lead pastor at Hunsinger Lane Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky to discuss a biblical theology of the people of God. Together they address questions like: Who are the people of God and how does our understanding of this theme develop across redemptive history? How do the biblical covenants help us chart this progression? What’s new about the new covenant and how does it help us understand who the people of God are? What does union with Christ have to do with the people of God in the New Testament? How does this theme affect our doctrine of the church? And more.
