IronWorks Podcast #67 - Bible Background: Paul's Missionary Journeys, Part 2

Firebrand is available NOW! https://www.ironworks.media/bookstore/p/firebrand Welcome to Episode 67 of the IronWorks podcast! Pastor Tyler and Zach continue their on-the-ground walkthrough of Paul’s second missionary journey—this time focusing on Corinth and Ephesus. Drawing from Tyler’s recent trip to Greece and Turkey, they connect Acts 18–19 and 1–2 Corinthians to real archaeology, geography, and history: stadiums, temples, markets, libraries, and even the traditional tomb of the apostle John. They also take time up front to talk about why Calvary Chapel emphasizes verse-by-verse, book-by-book Bible teaching, what that actually looks like in practice, and why it’s so transformative for a local church. In this episode, we cover: 📖 Why Verse-by-Verse Teaching Matters 🏛️ Corinth: Port City of Idols and Immorality 🏟️ Sports, Games, and Paul’s Athletic Imagery 🏛️ Ephesus: Empire, Idolatry, and the Power of the Gospel 🕍 From Pagan Temples to Christian Churches 📜 Acts 19 and the Riot in Ephesus 🪦 John’s Tomb and the Long Legacy of the Apostles 🧭 Archaeology, Faith, and Trusting Scripture 📌 Resources & Next Steps Subscribe to the Iron Works Podcast for more insightful discussions and sign up at IronWorks Media to get two FREE e-books and stay updated on upcoming conferences, book launches, and new content.
