198: Are Guardian Angels Real? What Jesus Really Meant
👼 Do we really have guardian angels? What did Jesus mean when He said their angels always see the Father’s face? Is this about kids only, or is something deeper going on here?
In this intriguing episode of Talkin’ Bible, Rohan Bell and Jeanie dive deep into Matthew 18:10–11, one of Jesus' most misunderstood and debated sayings. They unpack:
👉 Why this verse has often been linked to the idea of guardian angels
👉 The Second Temple Jewish belief about personal angels
👉 How Jesus flipped the cultural view of children and the vulnerable
👉 The deeper truth about how Heaven champions the humble and weak
👉 How Nazareth-like familiarity and our Western thinking may blind us to the supernatural
👉 Real life stories of angelic encounters (plus Jeanie’s cliffhanger!)
As always, the episode is filled with laughs, honest wrestling, and profound insights into Jesus' upside-down Kingdom where the least are the greatest and the weak are never overlooked.
Are angels quietly working behind the scenes in your life? Are you open to the supernatural even when you can’t see it?
Tune in to find out — and don’t miss Jeanie’s story next time! 😉
