Summary

This episode unpacks a Holy Trinity Sunday sermon that reads Isaiah 6 and Romans 11 to reveal a counterintuitive divine strategy: God sometimes blinds and deafens so that salvation is scattered to the Gentiles, ultimately drawing Israel back. Hosts explore how this inscrutable logic reframes prophecy, the purpose of pain, and the daily call for believers to bear suffering as a form of intimate artistry and victory while rejecting the "devil's vocabulary."
