29 June 2025 - Matariki: The Myth Became Fact

Matariki Part 2 – The Myth Became Fact: What Every Story Has Been Pointing to All Along In this episode, we explore how the gospel doesn't cancel culture—it redeems it. Pastor Ants walks us through Acts 17 and how the Apostle Paul stepped into the stories, poetry, and beliefs of his culture to reveal Christ at the centre. From ancient Māori traditions to Greek mythology, from Marvel movies to Matariki, this message uncovers how all stories carry echoes of the greater story—God's story. We talk C.S. Lewis, J. Gresham Machen, Māori legends, and even Avengers Endgame, showing how Jesus didn’t come to erase the story—He came to fulfil it. 📖 Key Scripture: Acts 17:22–31 ✨ Jesus didn’t come to erase the story. He came to fulfil it. This isn’t syncretism—it’s consecration. Tune in and discover how the myth became fact… and why your story is still being written. #Matariki #MythBecameFact #JesusAndCulture #Acts17 #Storytelling #ChristianPodcast #GospelInEveryCulture #ElimChurchNZ
