What do you get when two theologians walk into a podcast? A lot more fun than you’d expect.

In this episode of Theology Is Fun, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben tackle a question many Christians have heard for years: Is the church building really the “house of God”?
What begins with lighthearted jokes about church dress codes, altars, and Charlton Heston’s portrayal of Moses quickly turns into a rich theological conversation about the tabernacle, the temple, and how all of it ultimately points to Jesus Christ.
Together they explore:
- Why do many Christians still use Old Covenant language when talking about church buildings
- How the tabernacle and temple functioned as types and shadows in the Old Testament
- The significance of Mount Sinai, Mount Moriah, and the biblical theology of mountains
- How the sacrificial system and temple layout pointed forward to Christ
- Why Jesus declared, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days”
- What it means that believers themselves are now the dwelling place of God’s Spirit
Along the way, they discuss typology, the relationship between the Old and New Covenants, and why understanding Christ as the fulfillment of the temple helps clarify how we think about worship, church buildings, and the people of God today.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Is the church building actually the house of God?
- Why do churches use words like sanctuary, altar, and house of the Lord?
- What did the tabernacle and temple really symbolize?
- How does Jesus fulfill the temple in the New Covenant?
- What does it mean that believers are now the temple of God?
—this episode is for you.
