What does it look like when a community takes on the mind of Christ?
In this episode of I Love to Tell the Story, hosts Rolf Jacobson and Kathryn Schifferdecker, along with Johannine scholar Karoline Lewis, dig into one of the most beloved and theologically rich passages in all of Paul's letters: the Christ hymn of Philippians 2:1-13.
In a culture that rewards self-promotion and personal branding, Paul's call to radical humility cuts against the grain. The hosts unpack why Paul reaches back to the incarnation (not the resurrection, not even the crucifixion) as the paradigm for Christian community, what it means that "every knee shall bow" in a world where Caesar claimed lordship, and why that second-class conditional in Greek matters more than you might think.
