Episode Details

On today’s episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by brilliant New Testament scholar Dr. Lynn Cohick to dive into the theological richness of Ephesians. Together, they explore the ancient world of Ephesus, unpack what it means to be God’s poiēma—His treasured masterpiece—and wrestle with Paul’s teaching on mutual submission, sacrificial love, and power. Ultimately, Ephesians reminds us that through Jesus, no one is an outsider in the family of God. So grab your Bible and come hang out with us—there’s always room for one more on the porch.
