As we gear up for our new series The Other Side of the Cross, we’re revisiting a listener favorite—Episode 8-23. In this powerful conversation, Tim interviews Impact Nations founder Steve Stewart about his book Pursuing the Mystery of Christ.

This episode challenges the fear-based gospel many of us were raised with, inviting us to explore the beauty, paradox, and eternal presence of Christ. From rethinking the Incarnation to reframing the gospel as a mystery to be pursued—not a formula to master—this is one of our most spiritually rich episodes.

🧭 What You’ll Learn:

• Why mystery and paradox are central to authentic faith
• How to read Scripture beyond the limits of the historical-critical method
• Why Christ shows up as the “angel of the Lord” in the Old Testament
• The eternal implications of the Incarnation
• The Transfiguration as a glimpse of your own future in Christ
• How to present a gospel rooted in beauty, not fear
• Repentance as realignment, not groveling
• The mystery of Jesus’ temptation, baptism, and identification with humanity
