  • Please change the music/sounds

    Love the content but the music is just a bit too epic for a podcast and the little sounds are really annoying - sorry. Love what you are saying though.

  • Disingenuous about Justification and Sanctification

    These men are not open about their doctrine of justification. They espouse federal vision that informs their view of the law, definition of a Christian nation, and justification. Federal vision: you are in the new covenant by faith, then by an obedient faith you stay in the covenant.

    Andrew Sandlin, one of their teachers at the institute, was a strong supporter of the late Norman Shepherd, the father of federal vision. Sandlin even wrote the forward to “The Way of Righteousness” by Shepherd. more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reforming a City Church with Pastor Mark Hamilton
Q: How does being a detective influence your understanding of total depravity?
Hamilton explains that his experiences as a detective validate the biblical doctrine of original sin and the fallen nature of humanity, reinforcing his belief in the gospel as the ultimate solution.
Reforming a City Church with Pastor Mark Hamilton
Q: What are some of the biggest challenges when you're thinking about the inner city context, in the multi-ethnic context?
Pastor Hamilton discusses the challenges of changing mindsets that have been deeply ingrained due to cultural indoctrination and the lack of biblical authority, particularly among local religious leaders.
World Religions: The Climate Cult
Q: What would you say to our listeners who say, I thought this was settled science?
The notion of climate change is tautological, as climates change. The real issue lies in not trusting the models that claim CO2 is the main driver of climate change.
World Religions: Neo-Paganism & The Occult
Q: Why do we see or where are you currently seeing a resurgence quite clearly in culture today?
The revival of neo-paganism is very real, birthed from the New Age movement and now manifesting in popular culture.
Work and the Meaning of Life ft. David Bahnsen
Q: Can you comment on that relationship between victimhood and self-pity and the miracle of the American economy?
David argues that self-pity can hinder productivity and discusses the importance of a 'can-do' mentality ingrained in American culture, which supports the flourishing of the economy.
