  • Get “Bit by the Baptist Bug”

    I had the pleasure of meeting Austin McCormick at an in-person module held in Owensboro, KY. Hey used the phrase “bit by the Baptist bug” a few times and now that saying sticks in my mind every time I come to listen to another episode of the Covenant Podcast.

    It’s a silly expression that makes me laugh, but it’s a fitting description for this show as these men seek to honor Christ in all they do.

    Love this show and love these brothers! Keep up the good work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Cotton with Stephen Yuille
Q: Why is John Cotton so central to Congregationalism, and how does his work challenge Presbyterian models?
Cotton argued that the keys of the kingdom belong to the local church and its elders, not to a distant synod; this distinction is central to Congregationalist practice and created the historic debate with Presbyterians over church governance and the interpretation of New Testament patterns.
John Cotton with Stephen Yuille
Q: What first drew you to the Puritans and Cotton as a focus of study?
The guest explains that the Puritans shaped his life beyond mere intellectual interest, coming to them through seminary work, particularly JI. Packer's A Quest for Godliness, which redirected his life toward Puritan thought and its pastoral and devotional dimensions.
How Should Christians Think about UFOs? with Tom Hicks
Q: There are abduction accounts and hypnotic regressions involved; how should Christians think about these narratives in light of Scripture?
Abduction accounts should be treated with caution due to the unreliability of memory in hypnotic regression; the pattern described includes capture, examination, and indoctrination, but Christians should test these claims against biblical truth and consider the possibility that rhetoric serves a spiritual deception rather than a literal, physical reality.
How Should Christians Think about UFOs? with Tom Hicks
Q: Given these reports, what is a responsible theological framework for Christians to use when interpreting events like these?
A responsible framework starts with careful observation of what people report, then measures such reports against Scripture, recognizing possibilities of demonic deception, and avoiding speculation about alien biology; Christians should emphasize the gospel, Christ's sufficiency, and reject any supposed secret knowledge claims that contradict the Bible.
How Should Christians Think about UFOs? with Tom Hicks
Q: Can you begin by defining or giving some context to what we're seeing in our cultural moment around the narrative of UAPs, UFOs, aliens, and the impact that this is making on our culture at large?
There are a variety of observed phenomena, many of which are earthly or related to drones, but the real question is why the media portrays it as urgent; the phenomena may be real in the sense of physical sightings, but the explanations people latch onto often cross into spiritual interpretations, and Christians should ground their views in biblical anthropology, recognizing possible demonic influence behind the narratives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Covenant Podcast

What is Covenant Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

A dense, theology-forward program with a strong emphasis on Reformed Baptist perspectives, biblical exposition, and church leadership. Episodes frequently center on sermon guidance, hermeneutics, and historical Baptist thought, often featuring theologians, pastors, and scholars who discuss scripture, doctrine, and ministry practice. A notable pattern is the blend of expository preaching emphasis (notably Romans, Hebrews, and Calvinist pietism) with historical/biblical case studies and contemporary pastoral application. The show stands out for its accessible yet deeply doctrinal approach, tends to attract listeners who are pastors, seminary students, and lay believers seeking rigorous, confessional Reformed content, and often draws guests fr... more
