Listen "Seeing the Unseen: Unpacking the Paradox of Faith in 2 Corinthians"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Ryan and Brian's Bible Bistro, the hosts dive into a deep exploration of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, focusing on the intriguing phrase, "we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen." Brian shares insights from his recent study, unraveling the paradox of seeing the unseen and its significance in Paul’s theology. From the contrast of the inner and outer person to the eternal weight of glory versus light and momentary troubles, this episode uncovers how Paul’s message encourages believers to focus on the eternal through the lens of the gospel. The discussion connects themes of sight, blindness, and glory across the New Testament, drawing parallels with the Gospel of John, Hebrews, and Colossians. Ryan and Brian also explore how living a cruciform life—modeled after Jesus’ self-sacrifice—reveals God’s glory in a secular age. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about faith, perseverance, and the transformative power of the unseen. Visit thebiblebistro.com for more episodes and to support the podcast!
