In this episode of Under the Hood, join hosts Sam and Will as they continue their exploration of the Gospel Revolution, diving into the historical and spiritual significance of Jesus’ arrival during the Roman Empire. They examine how the oppressive reigns of emperors like Caesar Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero contrast sharply with the message of Jesus—a different kind of King bringing hope, peace, and salvation. Discover how these contrasting kingdoms challenge us today and highlight the profound impact of Christ’s life and teachings on the world.
