  • Level headed & thoughtful questions

    Glad Austin is on Apple Podcasts. He has matured from the early “hair” days. 😃

    His podcasts are thoughtful and honestly seeking answers. No hollering nor pushing an agenda. Most interviews of Austin’s I have to listen to multiple times so I get a better understanding of both questions and answers.

    Well done, young man!

  • Deep Ecumenical Protestantism

    Austin Suggs is a pretty interesting guy. He reads A LOT and engages a lot with the TheologyTube sphere. He is very charitable and level headed, and you can learn a lot from him. I also appreciate some of his warnings about LARPing and how our faith needs to be more than studying theology.

    It’s good stuff, and I will say he’s probably the most ecumenically-minded Protestant I know of who isn’t becoming Catholic. I guess we’ll see if that lasts

  • Lovely fellowship ,Phillip Cary interview

    I came across Cary on the Augustine Podcast, true warmth in theological and philosophical conversations where views are different can be difficult to navigate. Your interview has given me further approval to push into my inclinations concerning study of the Church of the past. As a former Charismatic who has entered the Reform community about 6 years ago , the Kingdom of Christ is made new again to me!! I found you on youtube and will now be listening here. There is a vast need in The Body for c... more

  • Church history for beginners

    As someone who wants to understand church history and different theological perspectives, this podcast has been an amazing starting point for me. I would have never been introduced to topics such as papal infallibility, the early church fathers, and orthodox spirituality. These podcasts have blessed me greatly, and I’m certain they will for you as well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Historical Anglican Theology and Modern Debates | Sean Luke
Q: So what is the contemporary Anglican understanding of Sola Scriptura, and how does it differ from the older formulation?
The contemporary Anglican view holds that Scripture is the sufficient binding source for doctrine, but not the only source of doctrinal understanding; tradition, creeds, and historical reception also play essential roles in shaping interpretation and ensuring unity.
Is Infallible Dogma Necessary for Christianity? | Fr. James Dominic Rooney
Q: Is dogma necessary for Christianity?
Rooney argues that dogma is necessary but must be understood as essential truths or minimums rather than an endless checklist, with a focus on public standards that guide faith and witness.
The State of Religion in America | Dr. Ryan Burge
Q: What does the data say about the mainline church's role in American religion?
The mainline has declined significantly from a peak in the 1950s and now makes up only about 8.5% of the population, leading to questions about its future and potential for resurgence.
The State of Religion in America | Dr. Ryan Burge
Q: What's the state of religion today in America?
Dr. Burge presents data indicating that Gen Z is experiencing a decline in religious participation, contrasting the narrative of a revival.
Have We Misunderstood Dietrich Bonhoeffer? (Dr. Stephen Haynes)
Q: What was Bonhoeffer's stance on pacifism?
Bonhoeffer's views on pacifism were complicated; he was introduced to it initially but later believed that a peace ethic could involve different responses in different contexts, including involvement in a coup against the Nazi regime.
