In part two of our deep dive into circumcision, Nathan and Brad explore the profound connection between the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 17 and the New Testament sign of baptism. Picking up from the theological foundations laid in part one, they unpack how circumcision, as a sign of God’s covenant with Abraham, points to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Drawing from Colossians 2:9-12, they discuss how Christ’s death and resurrection accomplish a spiritual circumcision of the heart, freeing believers from the bondage of sin and making them complete in Him.The episode bridges Old Testament shadows to New Testament realities, examining baptism as a reenactment of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, a public pledge of faith that mirrors the covenant sign of circumcision. With their signature southern humor, Nathan and Brad address interpretive differences, from Baptist believer’s baptism to infant sprinkling, emphasizing unity in the body of Christ despite diverse practices. They challenge listeners to focus on the heart of the matter: the transformative work of Christ that brings life and fullness, not ritual acts. Tune in for a lively discussion that ties ancient covenants to modern faith!---------------------------------------------------------------------We are sponsored by Baba Java Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster and cafe based in Birmingham, AL.
