The podcast episodes discuss how the apostles, such as Paul, were granted special authority by God to validate the gospel message and establish the early Christian church.

This 'apostolic authority' refers to the unique role of the apostles in receiving divine revelation, performing miracles, and authoritatively teaching about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God.

The episodes examine specific biblical accounts that demonstrate the apostles' God-given power and leadership, like the resurrection of Eutychus ('Ep 899') and the inclusion of Gentiles into the church ('Ep 882').
