This week on Further, Brenton and Chris dive into the Old Testament’s role in pointing to Jesus, discussing how its prophecies—roughly 60 major ones—connect directly to His life and ministry. Chris addresses common objections from skeptics, showing why Jesus couldn’t have merely staged His fulfillment of prophecy. They also push back on modern tendencies to “unhitch” from the Old Testament, stressing how it’s foundational for understanding the gospel, the cross, and God’s plan for redemption. The conversation then shifts to how Christians today can confuse cultural and spiritual identity, with a reminder to keep kingdom priorities first. They wrap up by warning against growing numb to the gospel and explaining why some verses in John were skipped in this week’s teaching.
