In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, hosts Dr. Mike Lake, Dr. Mike Spalding, and Dr. Corby Shue tackle the central question: 'What's so new about the New Covenant?' They argue that the New Covenant is not a rejection of the Old Testament but its fulfillment, with every promise and prophetic reality rooted in the Old. The hosts warn against modern theological trends that dismiss the Old Testament as irrelevant, calling it 'metaphysical personalism'—a dangerous relativism that leads to subjective, emotionally-driven spirituality. They emphasize that the New Covenant’s core innovations—such as God writing His law on our hearts, circumcised hearts, and the indwelling Holy Spirit—are all foretold in Jeremiah 31 and other prophetic books. The episode critiques the culture of digital distraction, short-form content, and entertainment-driven church practices that erode deep biblical engagement. The hosts call for a return to disciplined, context-rich Scripture study, physical Bibles, and a transformed heart that yields to God’s sanctifying work. They challenge believers to move beyond religious performance to a living, relational walk with God, where every believer is a priest offering spiritual sacrifices. The episode ends with a call to action: turn off screens, open the Bible, and allow God to transform lives through His Word.
The New Covenant is not a replacement for the Old Testament but its fulfillment—every New Testament reality was prophesied in the Old.
God writing His law on our hearts (Jeremiah 31) is the essence of what's new: a relational, internal transformation, not just external religion.
The danger of ignoring the Old Testament is the rise of 'metaphysical personalism'—the belief that personal feelings override Scripture.
Digital culture and short-form content are conditioning people to be unable to focus, think critically, or engage deeply with the Word.
True sanctification requires a 'circumcised heart'—a surrendered, pliable heart that allows God to destroy sin and replace it with His image.

The Question That Started It All: What's So New About the New Covenant?
“What is so new about the new covenant? And I had to stop and think about that for a minute, and really everything we're going to be going through today, every bit of what we enjoy in the new covenant was predicted in the old.”
The Danger of Unhitching from the Old Testament
“If you throw away your unabridged Webster's dictionary and now you're going to learn English, you can make the Bible say anything you want.”
The New Covenant’s Core: Circumcised Hearts and Written Law
“God is going to write the word in your heart. That's one of the things we're going to get into, and you need to write the word in your heart. I'm going to circumcise your heart. You need to circumcise your heart.”
The Culture of Distraction and the Death of Deep Engagement
The hosts critique modern culture’s addiction to digital media, short-form content, and entertainment-driven church services. They argue these habits condition people to be unable to focus, think critically, or meditate on Scripture.
The Priesthood of All Believers and the Sacrifice of Self
“When you understand that the tabernacle of Moses is built on the inside of us... when I have something that I want to do, and I'm trying to find an excuse to do it, and the Word of God says no... I take it to the brazen altar and I sacrifice it and I make it stay there until the Holy Spirit has brought it to ash.”

“If you throw away your unabridged Webster's dictionary and now you're going to learn English, you can make the Bible say anything you want.”
“The entire concept of the new covenant is drawn from Jeremiah 31. Part of that covenant is that we're going to have the Torah of God written on our hearts. Now, the question is, why would God go to the cross... so that the Torah could be written on our hearts so that he could do away with it?”
