Join Greg Waters and Father Jeremy Davis as they explore the powerful, personal, and often overlooked meaning behind sacrifice—from the burnt offerings of the Old Testament to the self-offering of Jesus Christ to the daily sacrifices of Christian life. This isn’t a dry intellectual study. It’s a journey through Scripture, ancient tradition, and real life—an invitation to rediscover sacrifice as neither inherently painful nor outdated, but rich, heart-felt, and transformative. If you’ve ever wondered why God delights in sacrifice—or how it can change the way you live—this podcast is for you. Fr. Jeremy Davis's book can be found here: https://store.ancientfaith.com/welcoming-gifts-sacrifice-in-the-bible-and-christian-life/?searchid=0&search_query=welcoming
