Companions - Episode 9

In this week’s Companions Podcast, Pastor Angelo and Pastor Becca pick up right where Paul does—at the big therefore of Romans 12. Together they unpack how “living sacrifices” looks in daily life, why Junia’s cameo in Romans 16 matters for today’s church, and how a mercy-shaped community becomes a launchpad for mission.Then we sail east to Corinth—Rome’s flashy, status-obsessed port city—setting the stage for our next congregational reading. Hear how trade routes, athletic games, and social pecking orders created the perfect storm for church conflict, and why Paul’s opening pages (1 Cor 1-4) still speak to our own divisions.Whether you’re a Bible-study veteran or opening these letters for the first time, this hour-long conversation keeps things grounded, practical, and full of real-life stories. Grab your Bible, cue up Romans 12-16, and read 1 Cor 1-4 with us this week. Questions or insights? Drop us a note—we’d love to hear from you!
