  • Outstanding

    This is an outstanding podcast. I grew up in a home with a father who went to seminary in the late 60’s early 70’s. I grew up on Fosdick’s theology!! Praise God I left that theology and found the truth in Christ. This podcast is helping me connect the dots between the liberal theology I grew up with and Christianity.

  • The Christianity and Liberalism series is remarkable

    This is well produced and has some deeply insightful perspectives applying one of the most important books of the last century to this century where the subissues are different but not the core issue. You can have Christianity or (theological) Liberalism but not both.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Perseverance of the Saints w/ Gabe Fluhrer | Redemption Accomplished and Applied (9)
Q: How should someone who is struggling with assurance be counseled to walk out of a pastoral visit?
Encourage Scripture meditation on 1 John's tests of faith, emphasize the Spirit's witness, and redirect focus toward Christ's completed work rather than self-examination; ensure practical steps like prayer, participation in the means of grace, and continued trust in God's promises.
Perseverance of the Saints w/ Gabe Fluhrer | Redemption Accomplished and Applied (9)
Q: Gabe, what does Murray mean when he warns that not everyone who professes faith is secure for eternity, and how should a pastor address this with a congregation?
Murray emphasizes epistemic restraint and pastoral clarity: professing faith does not automatically guarantee salvation, so pastors should guide people to examine fruit, endurance, and alignment with Christ, while pointing them back to the sufficiency of Christ's work and the Spirit's application.
Sanctification W/ Rob Edwards | Redemption Accomplished and Applied (8)
Q: What is the practical takeaway for someone struggling with sin today?
Start with Scripture passages like Romans 6, Ephesians 4, and Colossians 3 to understand dying to sin and living unto Christ; rely on the Spirit's power and be anchored in justification so you can pursue new obedience, with church and community support.
Adopted in Christ w/ Mark Sallade | Redemption Accomplished and Applied (7)
Q: What pastoral value does adoption have for people with earthly father wounds?
Adoption reassures believers of God's steadfast, loving fatherhood, helps address shame and belonging, and corrects distorted views that God might abandon them.
Adopted in Christ w/ Mark Sallade | Redemption Accomplished and Applied (7)
Q: How does Murray handle the tension between the eternal Sonship of Christ and our sonship by grace?
He carefully distinguishes eternal generation from the adoptive, grace-based sonship we receive, ensuring adoption remains distinct from Christ's eternal Sonship while remaining true to Scripture.
