  • 1/2 of my Favorite Podcasts

    Along with Life, Books, and Everything (featuring Colin Hansen quite often), Gospelbound is easily one of my favorite podcasts. It is rare that I miss or skip an episode. Colin is one of the best question-askers I have ever listened to. So thankful for such great content coming out of TGC.

  • TGC espouses modern liberal progressive woke ideology over biblical truth

    TGC espouses modern liberal progressive woke ideology over biblical truth. In doing so they are clearly seeking to please man rather than God. They push feminism and anti-white rhetoric because that happens to align with the spirit of the age but would be foreign to centuries of Christian fathers

  • Mostly good but sometimes frustrating

    I found the last episode about parenting and women not having children to be a bit frustrating. Definitely need a woman’s point of view to weigh in there. As a woman in my late 30’s I always assumed I would be married and have a few kids by now. However that has not been my story. However I’m so glad I live in a time where I have the option to pursue a career and grow in my faith and skills all the while being open and hoping to have a family of my own. I’m so glad I don’t live in a time when I’... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Everything Never Feels Like Enough
Q: How should a preacher approach Ecclesiastes in his church?
A preacher should balance preaching the thrust and weight of Ecclesiastes while leaving the congregation with some hope, often focusing on where Ecclesiastes drives us to despair before bringing in Christ's message of redemption.
Sing with Getty and Other Greats in This New Hymnal
Q: How has the shift away from printed music to projected lyrics changed the average Christian's experience of music?
Projecting songs on screens allows greater flexibility for what is sung, but may encourage drifting from liturgical structure and reduce curation of song selection.
Sing with Getty and Other Greats in This New Hymnal
Q: What do you hope the legacy of the Sing! Hymnal will be 20 years from now?
We hope to see evangelical churches return to singing more great hymns and producing healthier, holier Christians, Christian families, and communities.
How Charisma Reveals Our Idols
Q: As scholars observe charismatic leaders and their followers, what should people reflect on about their own lives?
Readers should consider what idols they worship and who has undue influence over their lives as they engage with charismatic figures.
How Charisma Reveals Our Idols
Q: How has your faith affected your scholarship before and after your conversion?
While the changes are not enormous, my conviction in understanding human nature has always included a religious perspective, which aligns with my scholarship on the religious impulse in humans.
