The Rise of the Pope

In this compelling episode that touches on modern history, we begin with the dramatic ritual of a modern papal conclave—oaths of secrecy, black and white smoke, and the moment a man becomes the "Vicar of Christ." Today, we are talking all things Pope related! Specially, we will look at his connection to Matthew 16, Acts 15, Galatians 2, and other relevant Scriptures. Given the implications of the Pope, the recent appointment of Pope Leo XIV and his influence around the world, we should be engaged and understand what truly lies behind the Vatican curtain.

We will ask question such as, “What really happened in Caesarea Philippi when Jesus said, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church"? Was that the divine appointment of the first Pope or have centuries of tradition reshaped the original story? Join us as we learn more about Church history and the proper response believers should have towards papal appointments that only happen a handful of times throughout our lifetime.
