When Power Shapes Jesus (Part 1)
In this episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we begin a careful, page-by-page examination of Chapter 2 of Bill Johnson’s “When Heaven Invades Earth.” Building on the previous episode, When Power Becomes the Measure, this conversation focuses on how a power-driven framework begins to reshape Christology itself. We examine the claim that Jesus performed miracles “not as God, but as man,” and we ask whether the biblical texts used to support that claim actually say what they’re being asked to say.
Part 1 works through the first part of the chapter with direct quotations, careful exegesis, and historic Christological categories. This is not a reactionary critique, but a disciplined theological analysis that asks a simple question with serious implications: when power becomes the standard, does Scripture still govern our understanding of Jesus, or does it get reinterpreted to protect expectations?

Our discourse with Zachary Conover, the esteemed Director of Communications for End Abortion Now, illuminates the profound and urgent imperative to confront the moral crisis of abortion with unwavering resolve and a gospel-centered approach. Recorded at the G3 Conference in Atlanta on September 22, 2023, this episode delves into the genesis and mission of End Abortion Now, a ministry birthed from a fervent desire to advocate for the sanctity of life and to proclaim the transformative power of Christ's forgiveness in the midst of such darkness. Conover articulates the necessity of moving beyond mere theoretical discussions of pro-life advocacy to engage actively in compassionate outreach at abortion clinics, thereby embodying the gospel in practical ways. Through a candid exploration of the challenges faced and the victories won, we are called to reassess our roles as Christians in this societal battle, emphasizing that it is not merely a political issue but a profound spiritual one that demands our faithful action and fervent prayer. Join us as we contemplate the implications of our faith in addressing this critical issue and the imperative of bringing the light of the gospel into the darkest corners of our communities.
Takeaways:
The inception of End Abortion Now was rooted in a profound love for the lost and a desire to extend the church's pro-life commitment beyond the confines of its walls.
In practical evangelism, we must bring the gospel to the darkest places, such as abortion clinics, to effectively minister to those in need.
The importance of equipping the local church to engage in sidewalk ministry cannot be overstated, as it is a direct response to the moral crisis of abortion.
Through consistent faithfulness and the proclamation of God's Word, we can be assured that spiritual fruit will manifest, even if it remains unseen in the present moment.
As we advocate against abortion, we must emphasize the need for justice and the gospel, recognizing that both the mother and the child deserve the truth of Christ's forgiveness.
In our efforts to end abortion, we should engage with legislative processes, challenging local authorities to uphold Biblical justice and protect the lives of the preborn.
