PODCAST: “How the Cross Defeated Sin and Death” (Rethinking The Cross)

Have you ever stopped to ask—What exactly did the cross accomplish?

In this brand-new episode of The Gospel of Peace podcast, we wrap up our three-part series on rethinking the atonement by focusing on what the cross truly defeated.

It was sin, death, and the dark powers that enslave humanity.

Spoiler: it wasn’t Jesus being punished by God.

In today’s conversation, we take a closer look at:

Why penal substitution isn’t the only (or earliest) view of the atonement.
What the Bible actually says about what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
How the early Church understood the cross as a cosmic victory, not a legal transaction.
Why the resurrection is central to God’s true response, not wrath, but restoration.
How all of this reshapes how we see God, salvation, and even ourselves.

💬 If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of a wrathful God or felt weighed down by guilt-based religion, this episode is for you.

📖 Scriptures like Colossians 2:15 and 2 Corinthians 5:18–19 will come alive in new ways as we unpack their meaning together.

🎧 Take a listen, share it with a friend, and join the growing conversation around rediscovering the radical goodness of God revealed in Christ.
