  • 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

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?

A Pastoral Start to 2026
Q: What do you see as the greatest sources of fear right now for believers?
