Joined again by the Reformed Mythologist, Nate Morgan Locke, we ask - what if the cosmic patterns of the universe were fundamentally rooted in the life of Jesus Christ?
Join us as we take a celestial journey through the stars, contrasting the insights of Lessing and Isaac Newton, and unravel how celestial phenomena and zodiac symbols form part of a divine narrative.
Our episode examines the intricate links between cosmic archetypes and biblical stories, illuminating Jesus Christ's role as the fulfillment of ancient prophecies and the central figure of history.
We then challenge traditional doctrines by proposing that the universe's patterns of life, death, and resurrection are all reflections of Jesus' story.
This perspective shifts the focus from seeking an abstract divine essence beneath the Father, Son, and Spirit to recognizing Jesus' story as the core reality shaping the cosmos. Our discussion touches on the power of mythos, exploring how the gospel serves as the foundational narrative that holds the universe together, offering a fresh lens on divine reality through biblical stories.
Lastly, we dive into the complexities of defining divinity and the significance of mythological language in conveying profound truths.
By drawing parallels between the Apostles' Creed and the hero's journey archetype, we underscore the timeless nature of Christ's story. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis, we highlight the unique historical grounding of Jesus' narrative, making divine revelation immediate and relatable.
Join us as we unlock the mythological power of Christ, enriching our understanding and connection to the Christian faith through vivid biblical visions and tangible symbols.
The theme music is "Wager with Angels" by Nathan Moore
