Ep.148 - I Was Just Wondering? - Who Was Jesus Before He Became Jesus? w/ Stephen Wellum

It is fair to say that the person of Jesus has probably sparked more conversation, intrigue and controversy than any other person in history. But where did he come from? Did he have a beginning or, as an ancient writers teach, he simply always was! In this episode, we step back before Bethlehem—before manger, straw, shepherd songs, or even the name Jesus itself—to ask who the Christ truly was before he walked among us. Was his divine identity something he discovered, revealed, or always knew? What does the mystery of the virgin conception tell us, and what misunderstandings does it sweep aside? 

Join the Curious team this week as they find themselves in conversation with American writer and theologian Stephen Wellum, around his fascinating book “God the Son Incarnate”. Together they explore the preexistence and uniqueness of Christ, pushing through the adoptionist and Arian detours to glimpse a deeper, older story—one that began long before the world did. Tune in to what promises to be a very thoughtful and enlightening episode
