  • 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.

When the Culture War Turns Violent
Q: Nate, when should a citizen take matters into their own hands?
The hosts discuss that personal vengeance is not justice and emphasize that biblical justice requires due process and the role of civil authorities, suggesting private citizens should not act on their own impulses even if they view an offender as deserving punishment.
AmericaFest and the Crisis of Christian Immaturity
Q: How do we walk that fine line of exhorting the church while recognizing the need for individuals to engage beyond the church?
We must encourage reform within the church while also acknowledging the need for individuals to seek faithful expressions of the church if their current setting is unfaithful.
AmericaFest and the Crisis of Christian Immaturity
Q: When you hear a guy like Steve Dase talking specifically about like we're a part of a generation that is trying to figure out how little to do, what do you think about that?
It's indicative of a problem with transformation in the church, highlighting that mature believers should transform culture effectively.
A Pastoral Start to 2026
Q: What do you see as the greatest sources of fear right now for believers?
The media promotes bad news heavily, causing anxiety and fear among Christians. It's better to engage positively in community and focus on what God is doing.
Think Christianly About Advent: Part 2
Q: Why could he, why must he be a representative of both at the same time?
He must be both fully in order for us to be saved, representing both God and man in the plan of redemption.
