​Can a single sentence written from a Roman prison cell 2,000 years ago solve our modern crisis of identity and anxiety?

​In this deep dive into Philemon 1:6, we unpack the shortest but perhaps most explosive letter in the New Testament. We move beyond the surface to explore how the Apostle Paul used a radical concept of "fellowship" (koinonia) to undermine the institution of slavery and force a wealthy master to treat his property as a brother.

​In this episode, we cover:
​The Historical Grittiness: The high-stakes drama between a runaway slave (Onesimus), a wealthy patron (Philemon), and a prisoner (Paul).[1, 2]

​The Translation War: Why "sharing your faith" might not mean what you think it means. We explore the debate between evangelism vs. active generosity.[3, 4]

​The "Every Good Thing" List: How to combat Imposter Syndrome and spiritual stagnation by "acknowledging" the spiritual wealth you already possess.[5]

​Apologetics & Slavery: How this letter planted the theological seeds that would eventually destroy the institution of slavery from the inside out.[6, 7]

​Whether you are struggling with feeling "enough" in a social media world or wrestling with the Bible’s difficult passages on history and culture, this verse offers a roadmap for a faith that is effective, active, and deeply relational.

​Scripture Referenced: Philemon 1:4–7, Colossians 4:9, Ephesians 1:3.
