What Happened in Ephesians (2 of 3)

Stephen asks Justin about Ephesians 2 and Ephesians 5. Justin suggests that in Ephesians 2, the author contrasts the way in which Jesus brings peace with the way that the Roman Empire brought peace. In a particularly difficult section of Ephesians 5, Justin considers whether the author's household code of ethics is set in contrast with the Roman Empire's code of household ethics. 

In their highlights, lowlights, and insights, Justin and Stephen talk about Stephen's new eBike (it's just like Justin's!). Justin reflects on an encouraging back to school devotional time that his department shared with his colleagues at the College. Stephen shares about the joy of coming back to a familiar patterns of prayer. Justin reflects on engaging difficult passages in scripture, and what happens when engaging with the Bible (as opposed to not engaging with it) leads to difficulties in faith.
