Why Peter’s Name Change Doesn’t Prove the Papacy

from The Least of These Podcast with Jayni Jackson · host Jayni Jackson

In Matthew 16, Jesus looks at Simon and gives him a new name—Peter. For centuries, that moment has sparked debate: was Jesus establishing the papacy or doing something far deeper? In this episode, Jayni Jackson breaks down one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture and uncovers what’s really happening when Jesus says, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.” What if this moment wasn’t about hierarchy at all—but about something far more personal, far more powerful, and far more beautiful?#biblestudy #ChristianApologetics #ProtestantApologetics #leastofthesepodcast #PeterTheRock #matthew16 #biblicaltruth #scripturealone #solascriptura #catholicvsprotestant #bibleexplained #gospeltruth #jesuschrist #christianfaith #theology #biblicalteaching #apologetics #churchhistory #christianyoutube #faithandreason #christianityexplained #bibleinterpretation #PeterAndTheRock #JesusBuildsHisChurch #gospelcentered
