Dr. Israel Kamudzandu of Saint Paul School of Theology tackles the listener-submitted question about God’s mysterious plan revealed in Ephesians 3: "We are all one people, united as co-heirs with Christ, regardless of nation, gender, or age.

Israel Kamudzandu asks, are we living the Gospel or chasing the 'Corinthian Dream'? In a world that thrives on hierarchy, the message of Jesus challenges us to embrace humility and see each other as family. #youtubeshorts  #instagramreels #biblepodcast  #scripture #bibleinterpretation  #biblecommentary  #fruitsofthespirit #corinthian
