The Grand Ands: Lord and Savior

"Lord and Savior." Christians use this phrase all the time. So it's interesting that it's used together just a whopping five times—and only in the New Testament by just one writer. What's the phrase's origin story? Dr. Bruce Becker takes us on a linguistic journey of "Lord" (used by itself more than 6,700 times) and "Savior" (only 59 times) and reveals to us how, when used together, these words give us a picture of the complete Jesus. About our new podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker": The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy. Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools. Still fascinated by the word "and"?
