32 | God Cuts a Deal: The Church and Israel Part 1

Anthony and Blaine continue their conversation on the Church by examining the canonical relationship between God and His covenant partners.

As Joseph Ratzinger put it, "The history of the relationship between Israel and Christendom is drenched with blood and tears."

That's true but it need not be that way. The history of the relationship between Israel and Christendom is fundamentally a history of God's faithfulness, self-revelation, and ultimate redemption.

What is Mount Vigil?

Mount Vigil is about discipleship for the end of an age. We work to recover the whole story of Jesus and to read the times we're in through to the story of Jesus. We explore everyday practices that help us experience more of Jesus. That way, we can take on more of his nature and find our role in his story. There is a way to thrive in a significant time.
