The Book of Romans centers on the glorious good news of God's answer to sin—being Born-From-Above! While Paul reaches the climax of this new birth theme in chapter 8, Vinnie uses this episode to walk through chapters 1–7, revealing how Paul masterfully builds his theological case. These opening chapters are rich with Born-From-Above insights that Vinnie unpacks on the journey toward the powerful truths of chapter 8.

As Vinnie walks verse-by-verse through Ephesians chapters 1and 2, he shows how this section of Scripture—often taught from a different angle—is actually centered on the NEW BIRTH. The "immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe" (1:19) refers to the infusion of life we received when we were born-from-above. It is through this new birth that we are "created in Christ Jesus" (2:10), enabling us to fulfill our calling to do good works. Moreover, through this same transformative work, God "created in Himself one new humanity" (2:15), uniting both Jews and Gentiles into one family—the people of God.

Building on the insights from Episode 17—where we discovered that the word SPIRIT in Scripture often does not necessarily refer to the presence or indwelling of the Holy Spirit—Vinnie applies this understanding to Galatians 4. This perspective unveils a whole new way of interpreting the passage and its profound, direct connection to our experience of the new birth.

Part 5 of the Born-From-Above miniseries offers a profound exploration of the New Testament Greek word PNEUMA (commonly translated as 'Spirit'). In this episode, we'll uncover seven different meanings of PNEUMA and also discover how many modern translations have—completely unintentionally—obliterated the message and theology of the new birth in favor of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit alone. By reexamining familiar passages through this fresh lens, you'll gain powerful insights into the transformative nature of our new, born-again life in Christ.

Vinnie continues the Born-From-Above miniseries by addressing several key "Nuts and Bolts" questions—such as when and how the new birth occurs, and the metaphysical framework behind it. He then explores a few New Testament passages where the New Birth is clearly referenced, offering insight into what these texts reveal about our new nature.

After establishing that we have a human spirit, and that the condition of our human spirit is in pretty rough shape apart from God, part 3 explains what it means to be born-from-above.

In part 2 of these mini-series on Born From Above, Vinnie explains the condition of the human spirit. Yes, Jesus and the biblical narrative confirm that we have a deep, inner reality to our existence that is transcendent, and confirm that the state of that self is not in good shape. But we will also uncover God's beautiful solution to remedy the situation.

Vinnie kicks off the Born-From-Above series by exploring the concept of the human spirit. Every person possesses an aspect of their existence that goes beyond the physical world—whether you call it the heart, soul, or spirit, it is an intrinsic part of being human. Drawing from science, everyday experiences, the Biblical narrative, and the words of Jesus, Vinnie lays a compelling foundation for this series, demonstrating that each individual has a unique, transcendent spirit that connects them to the spiritual dimension.

Vinnie explains what it means to approach the Bible with a Jesus-centered perspective and how this lens helps us better understand and interpret the violent passages in the Old Testament.

Vinnie continues his series, The Problem of Evil, by exploring six different ways that followers of Jesus have interpreted and responded to the violent portrayals of God in the Old Testament.
