S6 E12 | Ephesians Part 4: Equality and the Spirit-Filled Household

In this episode of the Alabaster Jar Podcast, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Kelly Dippolito conclude their four-part series on Ephesians by exploring chapters 5 and 6. They delve into Paul's household codes, examining how his instructions to slaves, women, and men subvert the social norms of the first century and promote unity and equality within the early church. They also discuss the historical context of slavery and gender roles, highlighting Paul's radical message that all believers are full members of Christ's body, worthy of dignity and honor.
