On today’s show, we’re tackling a question that has defined centuries of Christian thought: Did the Church replace Israel? This idea, often called supersessionism or “replacement theology,” touches on God’s covenants, the role of Israel in His plan, and the Church’s identity today. 

It’s also one of the key themes of this year’s Certainty Conference, hosted by First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia, Ohio. The conference will bring together pastors, teachers and Bible students to consider why this question is not just theological but deeply cultural, especially in light of recent events in the world and ongoing debates about Israel. 

To help us navigate this conversation, we are joined by Pastor Troy Stogsdill of First Baptist Church.

In today’s conversation they go deeper into the details surrounding the mighty men of II Samuel 23. The biblical record gives room to address the necessary character qualities of growing leaders. Kenny and Brandon also tackle many common questions that growing leaders have concerning God’s calling.
