The Bad Roman
The Bad RomanWomen, Scripture & the Church: Half the Image of God with Matt Mouzakis of Expendition 44Matt Mouzakis returns to the podcast to wrestle with one of the most debated questions in the church: What does Scripture really say about women in ministry? From Genesis to Paul’s letters, we unpack how mistranslations, cultural assumptions, and bad theology have sidelined half the Body of Christ for centuries. Was Eve really just Adam’s “rib”? Did Paul command women to stay silent in church forever…or was he correcting a local crisis in Ephesus? And what does “headship” actually mean when Paul calls Christ the head of the church? Many of us were taught to...

Duncan Palmer and Matt Mouzakis dive into the literal meaning of "Christ" (from the Greek Christos) as "King," revealing how modern translations have obscured this powerful concept. Key points: "Christ" literally means "King" in its original context Modern translations often fail to convey this crucial meaning Understanding Jesus as King reshapes our view of his role and authority This perspective challenges our relationship with earthly governments Practical implications for living under Jesus' reign in daily life The discussion highlights how referring to Jesus...

The Bad RomanRevelation: The Beasts and The Lamb From Eden to Empire (Part 4) with Matt MouzakisAre we truly grasping the essence of Revelation, or have we merely relegated its message to the past? In Part 4 of our series "From Eden to Empire," we invite you to see Revelation as a lens for understanding all empires, not just Rome. Discover how its profound teachings can guide Christians in navigating their relationship with worldly powers. We’ll reexamine the imagery of beasts and Babylon, often interpreted as symbols of Rome's might, revealing their relevance to any empire marked by oppression and idolatry. What does it mean to bear the mark of the beast? We’ll e...

The Bad RomanRomans 13 Line by Line: From Eden to Empire (Part 3) with Matt MouzakisIn Part 3 of our series "From Eden to Empire," we unravel the complexities of Romans 13 and its implications for Christians living under governmental authority. Was Paul truly advocating for unwavering obedience to the state, or was his message more nuanced? We explore the context of Paul's letter to the Roman church in the 1st century, revealing that his words were tailored to address specific circumstances rather than offering a blanket endorsement of government power. Our discussion delves into the idea of living peacefully within the empire while maintaining allegiance to Christ as the ultimate authority. We examine...

The Bad RomanFirst Peter's Insights: From Eden to Empire (Part 2) with Matt MouzakisIn the second installment of our series "From Eden to Empire," we delve into Matt's dissertation with a focus on the teachings of First Peter. Building on the foundation laid in our first episode, which explored the "Deuteronomy 32 Worldview," we now turn our attention to how these themes are expanded in Peter's writings. Peter's teachings challenge us to reconsider the nature of submission—not as mere obedience to human authorities, but as a voluntary act for the sake of Christ. What does it mean to live as exiles and strangers, maintaining a distinct identity from the world's sy...

Expedition 44Women in Ministry?: A Conversation with Matthew Stevenson (Lakeview Assembly of God)Pastor Matthew Stevenson and Dr Matt Mouzakis Language of Complementarian See https://www.patheos.com/blogs/jesuscreed/2015/03/02/revisionist-history-on-the-term-complementarian/ and https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/genesis-confusion/ for a summary of the history of the language surrounding this issue. 1 Tim 2:11-14 Matt M. misspoke about the parsing of the greek tense of epitrepo (I do not permit). The tense is present active indicative. The reason behind the interpretation of “at this time” is due to the use of epitrepo in the rest of scripture where it is always in the context of a local situation. “At this time” is based on the context...

The Bad Roman”What about Romans 13?” with Matt MouzakisCraig is joined by Matt Mouzakis, worship pastor and co-host of Expedition 44, a popular theology podcast where the ancient languages and context of the Bible are discussed. Matt is doing his doctorate in New Testament studies, specializing in the passages often cited by Christian statists when they want to defend strict obedience to the government. Matt explains how words like submit (hypotassesthō), and concepts like paying taxes take on very different meanings when placed in their proper context. Read Romans 13 through the eyes of a first-century Jew, see it in a fresh new light, and be prepared to confound t...

Expedition 44The Church: Apostle (Part 16)Doc Ryan and Matt Mouzakis with Expedition 44 Over the next few episodes, we’ll be diving into 5 gifts that many call the 5-fold ministry or 5-fold giftings. There are traditions that take these 5 (APEST-Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd/Pastor, Teacher) as offices in Ephesians 4:11. This is difficult to support in the context of the passage where Christ is giving gifts to his church. What is an Apostle? · Apostle simply means “sent one”. They were ambassadors or emissaries who carried teachings and messages of a king or religious leader/sect · Apostle was a not a religious word in the ancient world. Caesar had Apos...

Expedition 44The Atonement Part 7: HebrewsDoc Ryan and Matt Mouzakis Dive into atonement in the book of Hebrews.   By offering his own life and blood Jesus made purification (1:3) and atonement for sin (2:17- 18). These are big picture summary statements. But where, how, and by what logic? For this, we need other passages to provide details.   • Jesus’ death obviously happened on the cross, but Hebrews is explicit that the atonement happened somewhere else—in 9:11-14, 24—the heavenly tabernacle. Atonement didn’t happen on the cross.   • Jesus’ atoning work accomplishing many things:  - Removes (purges) sin (9:24-28)  - Forgives sin (10:18)  - Sanctifies and perf...

When we think of God’s wrath it is sometime in the context of an angry dad who “flies off the handle” without a moment’s notice. If we already think of God as a dista...
