In this wide-ranging episode of the Great News Network call-in show, Delaney, Shawn, and Grady engage in a thoughtful discussion about what it means to be a Yeshuan rather than a Christian, exploring how language, identity, and history affect how we relate to faith today. The group opens by acknowledging the discomfort with the term “Christian” due to its entanglement with institutional baggage and instead affirm their identity as Yeshuans—followers of Yeshua (Jesus) in spirit and truth, apart from religious systems.

The show then moves into a detailed conversation about the meaning and pronunciation of “Yeshuan,” the historical and theological implications of Jesus’ name, and whether it’s more appropriate to call him Yeshua or Jesus depending on context. This turns into a deeper examination of scriptural terms like “second coming,” “parousia,” and the difference between appearances of Christ post-resurrection and his coming in glory in 70 AD. Grady adds historical clarity, referencing events like the fall of Jerusalem and the millennial reign, emphasizing a fulfilled eschatological view.

Later, the group takes live questions from the chat, discussing topics like Christophanies (Old Testament appearances of the Word of God), whether we are the bride of Christ today, the nature of Yeshua’s body post-resurrection, and how the spirit interacted with humanity across the ages. The episode underscores a fulfilled theological model where the church is no longer an earthly institution but a spiritual kingdom accessible to all through faith.

The team also talks about the use of discipline in parenting, interpreting difficult Bible passages like the “rod” in Proverbs, and the significance of bodily resurrection versus spiritual metaphors. In each topic, they highlight subjective Christianity—the belief that the Spirit leads each individual uniquely in love and liberty, rather than dogmatic conformity.

The show closes with a reminder about the upcoming United Front conference for interfaith dialogue and encouragement for viewers to join the live Sunday teachings or explore the resources available on the TGNN website. The spirit of the conversation is bold yet loving, inquisitive yet grounded, and fully centered on living out a real, personal relationship with the living God.
