Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

280. Listeners’ Questions on Was Jesus a Stonemason
Q: Do any Church Fathers mention Jesus as a stonemason?
No; Church Fathers rarely use stonemasonry language for Jesus. They frequently describe Jesus with foundation stone and cornerstone imagery, which parallels the broader idea of him as a builder rather than specifying a craft.
280. Listeners’ Questions on Was Jesus a Stonemason
Q: What does this mean for faith in real life?
It doesn't radically change personal faith, but it can influence how believers read parables and understand Jesus' practical work in daily life, highlighting the value of skilled craft and construction imagery in spiritual teaching.
280. Listeners’ Questions on Was Jesus a Stonemason
Q: Are there translations that use the word builder instead?
Yes, several translations use builder or similar terms in different languages or in footnotes (e.g., ISV, Holman, NRSV/ESV/NIV in some renderings). However, the dominant English tradition remains carpenter, illustrating how tradition can override broader possibilities.
280. Listeners’ Questions on Was Jesus a Stonemason
Q: So Cris, are you saying Jesus wasn't a carpenter at all, or just that the word is broader?
The discussion argues that tecton should be understood in a broader sense than carpenter alone—potentially builder or craftsman—because the term encompasses building with various materials and reflects a first-century context where building, not just woodwork, was common. This broader view doesn't dismiss carpenter interpretations but invites considering a more expansive translation.
276. Interview with Yinka Oyekan on His Thoughts On Disicplehsip
Q: Tell us your story and how you were discipled.
Yinka describes a progression from growing up in Edinburgh, to starting a men's prayer meeting, to being mentored by a senior evangelist, which shaped his practical approach to discipleship and leadership.
