He was promising divine indwelling presence. And that changes the nature of faith. Because prior to Pentecost, faith meant trusting the promise...

Now, in Episode 34, we stand at a critical bridge between faith seen and faith required—preparing to examine what faith becomes after the resurrection and ascension, when Christ is no longer physically present yet remains fully authoritative.
