In this episode, we explore the Zealots, a passionate group believing in God's law and violent resistance to Rome. We discuss how Simon the Zealot, chosen by Jesus, transformed from violence to martyrdom for Christ. The 12 disciples, a diverse and often conflicting bunch, were unified by their time with Jesus, ultimately changing the world. Their journey of transformation illustrates the power of faith and the call to love and sacrifice for others.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donate

About Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.
