What connects wine, wrath, baptism, and the flood? This powerful bridge episode toes out into the deep waters of systematic theology that will lead to biblical theology in order to explore how God's covenantal signs—from the cup to the flood—shape a story of transformation.  
The conversation sets up how creation, judgment, and restoration are tied together in symbols like water, wine, and blood, but first, a look into how we think about these using a more modern theological lens.  Why and how is the topic of covenant such contested theological ground?  Seeing this will help us step into more daring theology…theology that sees what Scripture sees.
Along the way, we’ll look at:

How covenant theology differs between dispensationalism and biblical frameworks
Why it matters that covenants unfold across genres, authors, and history
Whether or not there is a “covenant of works” at the beginning of creation
How allegory and typology impact the way we read the beginning of time

Whether you’re a longtime student of covenant theology or new to the conversation, this episode invites you to reflect on theology and bridging the gaps it might contain.
