Questions about the Gospel with Kaleb Amos on the Two Trees Podcast
Jon Dillon from The Two Trees Podcast hosts a dialogue between Kaleb Amos of Highways to Zion and Anthony Delgado, author of The Gospel is Bigger Than You Think, exploring questions and reflections on areas where Kaleb felt the book could have offered deeper explanation. The expansive nature of the gospel centers on the kingship of Jesus, the full arc of creation to new creation, and the mission of God's people. The gospel is contrasted with the diluted expressions found in Western "folk religion," where cultural Christianity often strips the message of its biblical depth. The importance of inspiring wonder at the grand narrative of Scripture is emphasized, showing how the story of God unfolds with epic significance. Key theological themes include the supernatural worldview present in texts like Deuteronomy 32 and Psalm 82, the dangers of syncretism, the biblical and systematic perspectives on Satan’s rebellion, and the pattern of typology across Scripture. Broader reflections highlight the value of engaging ancient sources, the importance of grounding ministry in a true vision of the gospel, and the ongoing effort to produce resources that faithfully transmit this vision to future generations.

Christus Victor and the Divine Council: Divine Council Worldview Podcast (EP024)
In this interview with Anthony Delgado on the Divine Council Podcast, the conversation with Mel and Rich explores how Mike Heiser’s work influenced the ministry and theological development at Palmdale Church and helped inspire the writing of The Gospel is Bigger Than You Think. The discussion explores how engagement with Divine Council theology transformed the church’s structure, worship practices, and liturgical rhythms, cultivating a model of ministry deeply rooted in biblical fidelity and vibrant Christian community. Key themes include the importance of recognizing Christ’s kingship in everyday obedience, the necessity of a lived testimony that reflects transformation, and a call to move beyond simplistic or transactional understandings of the gospel often found in American folk Christianity. Topics such as the role of allegiance in faith, the relationship between practice and transformation, and the need for intentional investment in discipleship are woven together, offering a vision of the Christian life shaped by the overwhelming magnitude of God's redeeming work and the invitation to participate fully in his kingdom.
