Summary: <br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/radicallychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Soul-Body-and-Spirit-2.png?ssl=1"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> Have you ever wondered what the Bible really teaches about the body, soul, and spirit? In this episode of the Radically Christian Bible Study Podcast, Chris McCurley and Wes McAdams tackle common misconceptions about these ideas that many Christians assume are biblical but are actually influenced more by Greek philosophy. <br> <br> <br> <br> Diving deep into Scripture, Chris and Wes explain that the soul refers to our whole being, including both physical body and immaterial spirit or breath. This challenges dualistic thinking that devalues the body as disposable compared to an eternal soul. As they unpack verses about resurrection, it becomes clear God intends to redeem us wholly – soul and body. This study brings to life how the doctrine of bodily resurrection should radically reframe how we view life and salvation. <br> <br> <br> <br> Chris and Wes aim to help Christians embrace the full goodness of God’s creation, care holistically for the physical and spiritual needs of people, and live out Jesus’ kingdom mission in the here and now. This is a truly fascinating discussion you won’t want to miss. <br> <br> <br> <br> This episode was originally published on Chris McCurley’s “Dear Church” podcast.

Hello, and welcome to the Dear Church Podcast. I’m your host, Chris McCurley. My good friend, Wes McAdams, joins us. He’s kind of a regular on here. <br> <br> <br> <br> We’ve had you on several times, and I’m always excited when you come on. Thanks for joining us, Wes.<br> <br> <br> <br> WES: Well, thanks for having me, Brother. I’m always excited to be with you.<br> <br> <br> <br> CHRIS: Yeah, you know, we’re not as much of twins anymore. People who don’t know the story, we often would get mistaken for each other. Like at the Red River Family Encampment, as I understand it, you had somebody come up to you and ask you how you catch all those fish, and, you know, I’m okay with that. I’m perfectly fine with getting mistaken for Wes McAdams. I think that’s a feather in my cap. But, you know, we had VBS this summer and I challenged the kids to bring so many guests, and if they did, the elders could shave my head, and, you know, I didn’t have far to go anyway. I was losing it anyway. I tell people it was sliding down my back, but, you know, I decided I’m just gonna keep it. I kind of liked it. And I shaved the beard, as well, and so we’re not quite as similar, I guess.<br> <br> <br> <br> WES: I think it’s the glasses, anyway. I think that the glasses were catching people. So we’ll see next year at Red River what people do with that.<br> <br> <br> <br> CHRIS: Yeah, I guess so. I mean,
