Conduit Church Podcast

In this weeks episode we wade deeper into the topic of the antichrist from our sermon series in 1 John, both as an ideology and as a person. Is the Antichrist walking among us? Not in the horned demon form you might expect, but in a subtler, more insidious way. This week, we take a hard look at how the Antichrist's ideology is creeping into the fabric of our everyday lives. From politics to pop culture, we dissect how its seductive promises of power and control are reshaping our reality.

We discuss the implications of fake news in our lives, both personally and culturally...and how to re-examine the information, misinformation and disinformation we take in every day. We examine this over the backdrop of John 20 and the story of Mary Magdalene finding an empty tomb, along with John and Peter in tow, and how the news of the resurrection became 'faith news' for all to believe.

In this episode, we dive into John 19 and examine the ongoing transition from guilt/innocence culture to shame/honor culture in progressive Christianity.

In John 19, we encounter four types of lies directed at Jesus, coming from the crowd, Pilate, Judas, and others. These instances serve as a guide for anticipating falsehoods in our own lives. Thankfully, we can rely on the shield of faith to protect us from the lies that come our way from both external sources and the prevailing culture.
