Episode 28 (July 15-21) "The Word of God Grew and Multiplied"
Listen to Episode 28 (July 15-21) "The Word of God Grew and Mutliplied" here!
CONTENT WARNING: Heads up parents! In this episode I talk about a ministry called Scarlet Hope that takes the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ladies that work in strip clubs. I don't ever say anything more graphic than the words "strip club" but if you don't want to explain what that means to your kids, you might want to skip 13:25-19:50 :)
Whoa, what an episode! We talk about Peter's revelation to take the Gospel to the Gentiles, what that means for us, how to receive revelation for ourselves, and how to honor the revelation that the Lord has already given us. Also I talk about how I got my name (spoiler alert, I'm named after the song Alexis by the James Gang) and if you listen to the whole episode, you can hear that song at the end of the show!

The book I mention: When Thou Art Converted: Continuing Our Search for Happiness by M. Russell Ballard at Desert Book:
"It wasn’t until these years at the Church in Syrian Antioch that the name Christian became associated with the followers of Jesus.
· They had been called disciples (Acts 1:15).
· They had been called saints (Acts 9:13).
· They had been called believers (Acts 5:14).
· They had been called brothers (Acts 6:3).
· They had been called witnesses (Acts 5:32).
· They had been called followers of the Way (Acts 9:2).
· They would be called Nazarenes (Acts 24:5).
· Now they would be called Christians.
i. In Latin, the ending ian meant “the party of.” A Christ-ian was “of the party of Jesus.” Christians was sort of like saying “Jesus-ites,” or “Jesus People,” describing the people associated with Jesus Christ. Boice thinks the idea was that they were called “Christ-ones.”
ii. Also, soldiers under particular generals in the Roman army identifed themselves by their general’s name by adding ian to the end. A soldier under Caesar would call himself a Caesarian. Soldiers under Jesus Christ could be called Christians.
iii. In Antioch, they probably first used the term Christians to mock the followers of Jesus. “Antioch was famous for its readiness to jeer and call names; it was known by its witty epigrams.” (Gaebelein) But as the people of Antioch called the followers of Jesus the “Jesus People,” the believers appreciated the title so much that it stuck."
