Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stephen Presley on Biblical Theology and Hermeneutics in the Church Fathers
Q: How should pastors respond to the need for catechesis in today's church?
Pastors should focus on incremental growth towards godliness through teaching that integrates biblical texts with a vision of virtue and morality.
Stephen Presley on Biblical Theology and Hermeneutics in the Church Fathers
Q: What do you think are some ways the modern church has lost some of these ways of instilling virtue?
The issues of Biblical literacy are a challenge for us, where people don't know the Bible or how to live virtuously, as they lack a knowledgeable foundation from the scriptures.
Baptist Q&A with Matthew Emerson
Q: What are your thoughts on the retrieval of political theology in Baptist and Protestant circles?
Baptists historically reject Christian nationalism but support the idea that Christians can be involved in politics and have a prophetic voice against the state.
Baptist Q&A with Matthew Emerson
Q: What practices highlight Baptist polity at its best during interactions with other churches?
Emphasize cooperation for mission, education, encouragement, and accountability at the local associational level.
Baptist Q&A with Matthew Emerson
