In this debut episode of Journey Through Ezekiel, we lay the groundwork for one of the most vivid and hope-filled prophetic books in Scripture.

Before diving chapter by chapter into Ezekiel’s visions, symbolic actions, warnings, and promises, we take time to understand the story behind the story.

Join us as we explore:

• The historical backdrop of the Babylonian exile
• Ezekiel’s unique calling as a priest-turned-prophet
• Why God’s glory appears outside the Temple
• The major themes we’ll encounter throughout the book
• How this Old Testament prophecy points directly to Jesus—long before His birth
• And why Ezekiel’s message still speaks to moments of chaos, confusion, and rebuilding in our lives today

This episode sets the foundation for the entire series, inviting listeners to see God’s sovereignty, presence, and redemption even in times of exile.

Next episode: Ezekiel’s stunning opening vision—the storm, the creatures, and the glory of the Lord.

Welcome to the Culture of Christ Podcast. In this episode, we break down the difference between true biblical masculinity and the counterfeit versions being promoted by today’s online masculinity influencers—figures like Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, and the broader manosphere movement.

We explore what Scripture actually teaches about manhood:

strength expressed through love, leadership expressed through sacrifice, and power expressed through humility in Christ.

We also address the growing trend of pastors, including Joel Webbon and Eric Conn, who have echoed or amplified rhetoric rooted more in pride, dominance, and nationalism than in the gospel. With clarity and compassion, we call out why this teaching is spiritually dangerous and how it distorts the heart of biblical leadership.

Using Scripture in proper context, we examine how Christ offers men a better way—one grounded not in ego, bravado, or misogyny, but in holiness, self-control, courage, and Christlike character.

If you want to understand what real biblical masculinity looks like—and why so many modern movements get it wrong—this episode is for you.
