Send us Fan Mail In Episode 6 of Echoes of Eden, Tim and Steve Stewart step into Genesis 3—the pivotal and often misunderstood story of “The Fall.” Rather than treating it as a simple explanation for sin, this conversation explores the deeper human experience behind the text: temptation, mistrust, sorrow, and the fracture of what is meant to be whole. They unpack how temptation operates on multiple levels—physical desire, aesthetic appeal, and intellectual distortion—and how subtle shifts in ...
Send us Fan Mail Why are there two creation accounts in Genesis? In this episode, Tim and Steve explore Genesis 2 and reveal how these complementary accounts give us a fuller understanding of who God is—both transcendent and deeply personal. Rather than repetition, Genesis presents a layered story: a God who speaks galaxies into existence, and a God who forms humanity with care and breathes life into them. This conversation unpacks what it means to live in “garden life”—a life of communion wi...
Send us Fan Mail In Episode 4 of Echoes of Eden, Tim and Steve Stewart return to Genesis 1—this time exploring it through the lens of Celtic Christianity. Rather than reading the creation account as a strict sequence of events, they invite us to see it as a meditation on the ongoing mystery of creation—one that reveals the nature of God and our place within it. This episode offers a fresh perspective on how God is revealed not only through Scripture, but through creation itself, calling us in...
Send us Fan Mail In Episode 3 of Echoes of Eden, Tim and Steve Stewart continue their deep dive into Genesis 1, focusing on the goodness of creation, the meaning of the image of God, the true nature of dominion, and the gift of Sabbath. This episode explores how creation points us toward worship, how Jesus reveals what true humanity looks like, and why every person carries dignity, purpose, and worth because they are made in God’s image. In this episode: Creation as a reason to worship the Cr...
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Echoes of Eden series, Tim Stewart and Steve Stewart explore the opening lines of the Bible and the profound framework they create for understanding the story of creation.

Tim and Steve examine the poetic structure of the Genesis account, the ancient cultural context i...
Send us Fan Mail Season 12 of the Impact Nations Podcast begins with a new series: Echoes of Eden — a guided journey through Genesis 1–11, the foundational chapters that shape the rest of Scripture. In this opening episode, Tim Stewart and Steve Stewart lay the groundwork for reading Genesis faithfully and wisely: not as a modern science textbook, but as theological history—a Spirit-breathed narrative answering the deepest human questions of origin, purpose, rebellion, and hope. In this episo...
Send us Fan Mail In the powerful conclusion to our Resurrection series, Tim and Steve explore what it really means to live in light of Jesus’ resurrection. This episode takes a hard look at the way Western theology has drifted into escapism—through rapture teaching, disembodied heaven myths, and even the use of violence in the name of Christ. They unpack the biblical and early church vision of new creation, how our glorified bodies will participate in it, and what happens when we die. 🔍 In th...
Send us Fan Mail In this fifth episode of our Resurrection Series, Steve and Tim turn to Paul’s sweeping proclamation of the Gospel in 1 Corinthians 15—the “resurrection chapter.” They unpack what it means to have a living hope through the resurrection of Christ and why that matters for us today. Key topics include: The centrality of resurrection to the GospelPaul’s response to Greek dualism and modern misunderstandingsThe enemies of Christ: death, sin, and the powers (not people!)What Script...
Send us Fan Mail In this fourth episode of our Resurrection Series, Tim and Steve journey down the Emmaus Road (Luke 24:13–35) to explore how the resurrected Christ reveals Himself in all of Scripture—especially the Old Testament. Far more than symbolic or prophetic references, we discover that Christ is eternally present in the Scriptures—indwelling time itself and inviting us to encounter Him in a living, sacramental way. This episode dives into: Why Luke 24 contains the longest resurrectio...
Send us Fan Mail In this third episode of our Resurrection Series, Tim and Steve explore one of the most misunderstood disciples—Thomas. Was he really a doubter… or just a man who longed for the same encounter his friends had? This powerful conversation will challenge how we think about doubt, belief, church community, and what it means to bear the marks of grace. 💡 What you’ll discover in this episode: Why Jesus showed His wounds—and what it means for usTwo interpretations of “if you retain ...
Send us Fan Mail What does it mean that Jesus still has scars after the resurrection? Why does He breathe on His disciples? And what is the significance of Mary Magdalene’s encounter in the garden? In this powerful follow-up to Episode 1, Tim and Steve explore John 20:11–23, uncovering deep truths about identity, commissioning, and the Spirit-breathed birth of the Church. In this episode, we discuss: Mary Magdalene as the first apostleJesus’ command: “Do not cling to me”Peace as more than a g...
Send us Fan Mail We're back with a brand-new series on the Impact Nations Podcast—this time, digging deep into the resurrection of Jesus. Tim and Steve Stewart kick things off with the Gospel of John and explore how three often-overlooked details—the folded face cloth, the angels inside the tomb, and Jesus being mistaken as a gardener—are actually rich with theological meaning and profound relevance for our lives today. 📌 In this episode: What the folded face cloth reveals about Jesus and Mos...

Send us Fan Mail What happened between the cross and the resurrection? Why does it matter?

Send us Fan Mail What if the story of the Cross was never about satisfying a wrathful God, but about defeating the very forces that hold humanity in bondage? In this episode, Tim and Steve unpack the ancient view of the atonement known as Christus Victor—the belief that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, sin, death, and Satan were overthrown once and for all. They explore how this early church understanding offers a cosmic perspective of salvation, rooted not in guilt and punishment but i...
Send us Fan Mail For centuries, the dominant explanation for the cross in Western Christianity has been rooted in retribution—Jesus taking the punishment we deserved. Is that really the whole story? Does it reflect the true heart of God? In this episode we trace the historical development of the Penal Substitutionary Atonement theory. How did theology, empire, and culture combine to shape a view of God that is more violent than loving? Is it time for a different lens? If this episode challe...
Send us Fan Mail This week on The Road to the Cross, Tim and Steve dive into one of the most influential ideas in Western Christianity: original sin. How did a fifth-century theory by Augustine come to dominate our understanding of salvation, the cross, and even our identity?

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Road to the Cross, Tim travels to Canada to sit down with theologian and author Bradley Jersak for a powerful conversation about cruciform love—the kind of love revealed on the cross that lays down power, enters our suffering, and forgives without limits. Together, they unpack what it means for Jesus to be self-giving, radically forgiving, and co-suffering—and how this shapes the way we pray, lead others, and share the gospel. With compelling stories, theolog...
Send us Fan Mail Is the cross only about personal forgiveness—or is there something far more expansive at work?

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode, Tim and Steve dive deep into two of the most powerful biblical images: the scapegoat and the Passover lamb. From ancient rituals in Leviticus to the prophetic imagery of Jesus in the Gospels, they explore how Christ takes on the blame of the world and offers a way of healing and peace instead of violence and accusation.
