  • Good Protestant Teaching

    If your experience or assumption about Protestant churches comes from either nondenominational or non-mainline denomination preachers on television speaking out against this or that culture war issue, you owe it to yourself to hear what real Protestant teaching is and why the Bible's actually worth our attention. Day1 stands firm in the faith -- which makes it a breath of fresh air!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Subverting Expectations - Episode #4252
Q: What strategies can preachers use to hear familiar passages in ways that startle and challenge us?
Moiso encourages engaging deeply with passages that irritate or bore you, leaning into those places to uncover new insights, and using friction as a doorway to meaningful interpretation rather than simply seeking comfort.
A New Earth and a New Heaven - Episode #4250
Q: So many thoughts... you deliberately put earth before heaven in your sermon title. Is that also a challenge to forms of Christianity that focus so intently on getting people into heaven, neglecting what happens on earth right now?
You're not reading too much into it. As I get older, I resist hierarchical thinking about heaven and earth and argue that earthly reality and cosmic energy are deeply connected; we must act here and now to shape a just, compassionate world, not merely await heaven's arrival.
Unlimited Forgiveness - Episode #4251
Q: Would you say more about how breadth of voices online changes the way preachers prepare sermons?
Willimon discusses the cacophony of modern preaching and the need for discernment, suggesting Day1 curates diverse voices to help listeners engage Scripture thoughtfully without being overwhelmed by every competing message.
Who We Say Jesus Is, Matters - Episode #4248
Q: If somebody is hearing this today and realizing maybe, okay, I've been treating Jesus as important, but maybe not really central in my life, where would you encourage them to begin?
Charles suggests starting with regular worship as a discipline to center Jesus in life, and learning the voice of Jesus through the words of Scripture to understand him more clearly.
Carriers of Destiny - Episode #4227
Q: What are Latino pastors carrying on their hearts most these days?
She explains concerns about immigration enforcement, church attendance drops due to fear, and the need for policy information and practical resources to support congregations, including Know Your Rights trainings and mental health playbooks.
