Episode 91 Psyched Out By The Scythians?

The Heart of God Podcast – Episode 91: Psyched Out By The Scythians? In Colossians 3:11, Paul declares that in Christ there is no Gentile or Jew, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free — but Christ is all and is in all. To the ancient world, the Scythians were the most terrifying people on earth: nomadic horsemen who scalped enemies, drank from their skulls, and lived in a haze of violence and hemp-fueled rituals. They were the ultimate outsiders, the barbarians’ barbarians. Yet Paul names them specifically to show that if the gospel can reach a Scythian warrior, it can reach anyone. This episode explores who the Scythians really were, why Paul singled them out, and what their inclusion teaches us about God’s power to heal the deepest racial, cultural, and ideological divides in our world today. If you’ve ever wondered whether certain people are beyond the reach of grace, this message is for you. Press play — Christ is all, and is in all.Key topics: Scythians in the Bible, Colossians 3:11, gospel unity, racial reconciliation, Paul and barbarians, Christ in all
