In this episode, Tyler and Sean carry forward a theology of mission from the Old Testament and connect it with intertestamental period developments and the New
Testament. The Intertestamental Period was quiet and God did not
directly speak, but he was active in many ways. This culminates with the
coming of Jesus Christ in the Gospels. Tyler and Sean talk about the
ministry strategy of Jesus and how it connects being with doing. Jesus is
also the splitting point of history where the mission strategy of holiness
attracting the nations turns into missional presence of holiness while
going out to the nations!
