Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
On today’s episode, we discuss how modern scholarship approaches the question of what Jesus thought his role would be between his resurrection and a future return, often called the “church age.” The panel welcomes Pastor Jimmy Williams, seminary student Jim Wilkerson, and several family voices to unpack dense theological ideas in a conversational way. They walk through three major methodological streams in historical Jesus studies—criteria/form-critical work, the continuum view of Jesus as a Palestinian Jew who birthed Christianity, and social or reception-history approaches—explaining how each shapes our picture of Jesus’ self-understanding. Along the way, they introduce concepts like “double dissimilarity” and wrestle with scholars who argue that Jesus expected an imminent end of the world without anticipating a long intervening church age. The discussion also touches on debates such as whether women can be preachers and how broader philosophical traditions influence contemporary theology. Throughout, the hosts balance serious academic content with Marine humor, family banter, and practical reflections on why Jesus’ view of his ongoing role still matters for believers today. Don't miss it!
