Motifs of the Cross - The Harrowing of Hell (Ep. 107)

Ryan and Wesley enter into the heavy subject of the Harrowing of Hell, exploring its significance to the cross and the resurrection. They emphasize the cosmic battle between good and evil, the nature of God's wrath, and the importance of understanding the Christian message as one of resistance against evil. This discussion culminates in the idea of Christus Victor, highlighting the victory of Christ over death and evil, and the call for believers to participate in this work.
