About This Video
In this special edition of the live call-in show, Delaney is joined by Grady as they explore a range of theological and spiritual questions—without Shawn for the day. The episode begins with updates on The Great NewsThe message that prophecy is fulfilled and we are free to pursue God in love and liberty—without fear or religious control. Network’s upcoming events, including the United Front Conference and Cult Proof, featuring speakers from diverse religious and anti-abuse backgrounds.
From there, they dive deep into biblical interpretation and the problem of materializing faith. Grady offers powerful distinctions between angelic appearances in Acts versus Old Testament Christophanies, emphasizing how God chose to condescend into forms we can understand. The conversation expands to reflect on the Word, the nature of Yeshua, and how his death—particularly his spiritual separation from God—embodies the humility and sacrifice of divine love.
Delaney and Grady also tackle a pointed community question about why many Christians appear to worship a version of Jesus that mirrors the devil’s temptation in the wilderness. Their response is a critique of modern Christianity’s idolization of material power, nationalistic religion, and physical expectations of Christ’s kingdom. Grady explains how futurist theology (like that of Darby and Scofield) influenced this distortion and how it parallels ancient Judaism’s misplaced expectations.
The teaching then shifts into a rich and clarifying breakdown of the Greek word cosmos, showing how it doesn’t always mean the whole physical world, but often refers to an orderly system or arrangement—like the religious system of Judaism. Grady promises a future video to expand on this.
Throughout the episode, the pair return often to the need for spiritual clarity: God is spirit, the Kingdom is spiritual, and anything—doctrine, sexuality, even agape love—can become an idol if it interferes with direct, subjective relationship with God through Yeshua.
By the end, Delaney encourages Grady to develop a full course on Jewish wedding customs, recognizing how vital that framework is to understanding scripture and Christ’s union with his bride.
