  • Top quality content

    I’ve been listening to Reformed Forum for the past 7+ years. There is no other program out there that consistently engages in such in-depth theological discussion. Dr. Lane Tipton is one of the best teachers in the world on biblical theology (redemptive-historical hermeneutics). Dr. Camden Bucey is a fine teacher as well, thoroughly conversant with the best authors. Dr. Waddington is also a fine fellow, very knowledgeable and kind. This content is the gold standard for heavy hitting theology fro... more

    I can never browse older episodes by subscribing to this podcast. I have to subscribe to the catch-all Reformed Forum podcast but that makes it hard to manage playlists.

  • Like you’re back at Old Princeton

    The kind folks at Christ the Center are solid reformed and confessional saints. If you are looking for Rich theological dialogue grounded in Scripture and the confessions, then you won’t find a better podcast than this. Consistent, edifying, challenging, yet not pretentious and even fun at time. It’s like you’re back at old Princeton with Vos and the rest of them. This is a rare find, and I beg Camden and the guys to stay true to the mission of simple, lovely, confessional, already / not yet con... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reformed Confessionalism
Q: How do they actually promote unity when understood correctly?
Dr. Smith details that creeds and confessions provide a consensus document for believers to unite around, fostering a shared understanding of essential theological truths, unlike systematic theologies which may diverge.
Reformed Confessionalism
Q: What do you mean by that phrase, and why is it such an important place to start?
Dr. Smith explains that confession is not solely negative but is also meant to articulate collective belief and devotion to God, beginning with a historical perspective from Old Testament teachings.
Paradox People: Learning to Live the Beatitudes
Q: Which Beatitude is particularly challenging in today's climate?
Being poor in spirit is very countercultural as it promotes humility over the self-empowerment message prevalent today.
Paradox People: Learning to Live the Beatitudes
Q: What does it mean that the Beatitudes start with blessings rather than commands?
It emphasizes that the kingdom of God is a gift we inherit through grace, not something we earn through our actions.
Paradox People: Learning to Live the Beatitudes
Q: How do the Beatitudes benefit people in their situations?
They provide a framework for understanding and responding to cultural pressures, reminding believers that God's ways are often counterintuitive but ultimately rewarding.
