Dr. Matt Hoskin of the Davenant Institute joins the show to talk about how Protestants can benefit from the Desert Fathers. The Desert Fathers left civilization in order to seek God with a single mind. They fasted, took vows of celibacy, and fought the occasional demon. Our modern eyes look at the Desert Fathers with cynicism, but that betrays a lack of understanding on our part of the spiritual realities that constantly surround us. Dr. Hoskin encourages us to see the wisdom of the Desert Fathers especially in an age of technological distractions. They may provide the key to waking us up from our own spiritual apathy toward a life dedicated to God.

In this episode we discuss Martin Luther’s theological breakthrough that set the stage for the Reformation. He did not set out to start a movement, but rather wanted to debate with integrity and honesty the malpractice of the Roman Catholic church. This desire led him down a path that pit him against the Catholic church, the Pope, and the Holy Roman Emperor himself. Luther’s breakthrough reverberates through history until this day. Join us as we talk about his life, theology, and famous insults.

John Henry Newman once remarked that, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.” Dr. Michael Haykin of Southern Seminary disagrees. Join us for a fascinating conversation on what Church Fathers like Cyprian, Athanasius, Augustine, Ignatius, Irenaeus, Clement, and others thought about baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and polity. We also talk about common misconceptions about the Church Fathers and why their example of deep theological reflection an earnest pursuit of holiness provide a model of faithfulness for Christians in a secular world. We also discuss whether John MacArthur is a Bishop and why Presbyterians are wrong about infant baptism!

Tuesday Oct 24, 2023
We welcome Pastor Steven Lee of the North Church in Minneapolis, MI to share his insights on the subject of conflict within the church. We discuss the importance of feedback among leaders and staff as well as the importance of having a thick skin when engaging difficult topics. Steven shares his own experience of leading a large church through the complexities of race, politics, COVID, and an assortment of other social issues facing the church. We also talk about the tension of balancing thoughtful listening with decisive leadership in a polarized age. Steven also shares how he deals with criticism on a personal level. On the one hand, you cannot let people’s opinions dictate your decisions, but on the other hand leaders must develop self-awareness of their own shortcomings and blind spots. If you’re wondering how Christians can maintain unity while also hold to strong opinions then this is the episode for you.

Dr. Gray Sutanto of Reformed Theological Seminary in Washington DC joins us to discuss the relevance of Herman Bavinck's theology of revelation in today’s post-Christian world.
Herman Bavinck, the renowned Dutch theologian of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has much to teach us about divine revelation in a contemporary context. Dr. Sutanto breaks down Bavinck's rich theological ideas and demonstrates how they can enlighten our understanding of God's revelation amidst the complexities of our secular society.
Dr. Sutanto elucidates Bavinck's views on revelation, encompassing the interplay of nature and grace, the authority of Scripture, and the role of human reason in grasping divine truth. By linking Bavinck's theological wisdom to present-day challenges and questions, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the enduring relevance of his ideas in our ever-changing world.

American History and the End Times with Dr. James Strasburg
Tuesday Oct 10, 2023
Tuesday Oct 10, 2023
We are privileged to have Dr. James Strasburg as our guest to help explore a compelling facet of American history: the profound influence of theological perspectives concerning the "end times" or "eschatology."
Our discussion commences with a historical overview of the theological landscape. During America's nascent years, the prevailing theological outlook was one of postmillennialism, characterized by an optimism regarding the widespread propagation of Christianity throughout the nation. This optimistic sentiment was deeply ingrained in the foundational period of American history.
However, as the world was embroiled in the aftermath of two World Wars, a significant theological paradigm shift occurred. American Christian sentiment veered toward dispensational premillennialism, a theological perspective characterized by a more pessimistic view of Christianity's prospects in the current era.
Additionally, our conversation delves into the ramifications of the Fundamentalist/Modernist controversy, which amplified eschatological fervor among Christians. This controversy centered on the anticipation of the second coming of Christ and spurred fervent efforts to evangelize the nations.
Throughout our dialogue, Dr. Strasburg provides invaluable insights, navigating the intricate waters of history with meticulous attention to specific historical events, influential figures, and cultural transformations that have profoundly shaped American history.
