In this episode, host Ephraim teams up with Paapa for an engaging discussion on the gospel—what it truly means. Exploring the term’s roots as "good news" and its biblical definition as God’s work in Christ Jesus, they address common misrepresentations, like reducing it to self-help or prosperity. The conversation dives into the historical context of euangelion, the multifaceted nature of salvation, and the importance of faith and justification.

In the pilot episode of Jude 3 Culture, host, Ephraim introduces the heart and vision of this apologetics and theology podcast, inspired by Jude 3’s call to “contend earnestly for the faith.” Discover the purpose of J3C: to present Christianity as an intellectually robust and practically viable worldview, making theology accessible to everyday believers. Learn what apologetics and theology are, why they’re essential for navigating internal church challenges and external cultural pressures, and how to apply them with courage, wisdom, and humility. Join us as we lay the foundation for equipping Christians to build a biblical framework, stand firm in truth, and engage the world with grace.
