Episode notes
Cookies, Pie Crusts, And Gratitude
- Vicki Delaney sent the hosts cookies and pie crusts while they were on campus.
- The hosts joked about sharing and thanked her as part of show banter.
What Divinization Really Means
- Divinization (theosis) means sharing in God's life, not becoming a competing god.
- Theosis is framed as union with the Father through the Son by the Spirit, fulfilling humanity's original destiny.
Not Apotheosis — Participation In Trinity
- Theosis differs from Roman apotheosis because it is participation in Trinitarian life, not competitive godhood.
- Humans were made to share God's life and theosis restores and elevates that vocation by grace.
