When Power Shapes Jesus (Part 1)

In this episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we begin a careful, page-by-page examination of Chapter 2 of Bill Johnson’s “When Heaven Invades Earth.” Building on the previous episode, When Power Becomes the Measure, this conversation focuses on how a power-driven framework begins to reshape Christology itself. We examine the claim that Jesus performed miracles “not as God, but as man,” and we ask whether the biblical texts used to support that claim actually say what they’re being asked to say.

Part 1 works through the first part of the chapter with direct quotations, careful exegesis, and historic Christological categories. This is not a reactionary critique, but a disciplined theological analysis that asks a simple question with serious implications: when power becomes the standard, does Scripture still govern our understanding of Jesus, or does it get reinterpreted to protect expectations?
