Together, they dive deep into the importance of the Old Testament for Christians today. They discuss whether New Testament believers should “unhitch” from the Old Testament, how Jesus and the apostles relied on it, and why understanding it is essential to a full grasp of the Gospel. Jason shares insights on the messianic significance of the Psalms, the prophetic connections to Christ, and how reading the Old Testament strengthens faith. Plus, they explore how church curricula sometimes miss the Christ-centered connections in Old Testament stories. Tune in for a rich discussion on the depth, beauty, and ongoing relevance of the Old Testament in the life of every believer.
