About this episode

The episode discusses John the Baptist's role as the final voice of the Old Testament prophets and his call for repentance as the King arrives.

John stands as the final voice of the Old Testament prophets, bridging the gap between the Law and the coming of Christ. With blunt honesty and fearless conviction, he calls people to repent because the King has arrived. John’s remarkable life, message, and humility, remind us that the path of faith is found in a simple confession: “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
