Description
In this follow-up episode, Jeremy Agosto sits down with Pastor Robey Barnes to unpack Sunday’s teaching on the book of Philemon and continue an important conversation around slavery, scripture, and the heart of the gospel. Rather than avoiding the hard questions, this discussion leans into the historical and biblical context of Philemon—exploring how Paul addresses injustice, power, and reconciliation, and why the gospel doesn’t simply change systems, but transforms people from the inside out.
This episode builds directly on our previous podcast, “The Bible and Slavery,” and listeners are strongly encouraged to go back and listen to that conversation as a foundation. Together, these episodes aim to bring clarity, humility, and biblical truth to a topic that is often misunderstood and emotionally charged.
If you’re wrestling with how to read difficult passages of scripture—or wondering how the gospel speaks to injustice, dignity, and freedom—this conversation is for you.
