Our main passage is 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 , which redefines holiness and worship not as places we go, but as lives indwelt by the Spirit. Drawing on insights from Michael S. Heiser , Craig S. Keener , N.T. Wright , and Carol Meyers , we’ll trace this biblical theology and consider what it means for how we live today. Along the way, we’ll connect the temple theme to American history and even to pop culture, reminding us that God’s presence is closer than we dare imagine.","meta_description":"In this episode of Wise Counsel , Robert Smith explores the story of God’s Temple Presence from Solomon’s temple filled with glory, to the Second Temple w…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":493,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/wise-counsel-7060777/episodes/46-the-temple-and-god-s-presence/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-counsel-7060777/46-the-temple-and-god-s-presence.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
