    I'm late to the party with those podcast, but I've cut other shows so I could make time for this one. Haven't heard a bad episode yet.

  • New Favorite, have recommended

    Love this podcast for so many reasons! Gracious. Funny. Love how the interviewee is prayed for at the end.

    This has convinced me to listen to someone that I had basically written off due to a particular view - I listened to him for 2 hours- because this is what Sean is doing- building some bridges that shouldn’t have been burned.

    Highly recommend!

  • My favorite podcast, hands down

    As a pastor, this is hands down my favorite ministry podcast. But it’s not just for those in ministry. I’ve recommended it for many of my church members and they all have loved it. Insightful, funny, informative, edifying, challenging, and encouraging. Make sure to listen to them all!

  • Entertaining and Edifying

    I love how these interviews are conducted in person and are a longer format. There are many other Christian podcasts that interview authors who are promoting books but this one is the best!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mere Complementarianism Interview
Q: What about women in leadership or deacons?
Complementarian governance can be functional rather than office-bound; some contexts allow female deacons or leadership roles depending on interpretation of Danvers and local ecclesiology, but core offices like pastor are limited to qualified men in many congregations.
The Mere Complementarianism Interview
Q: Why call it Mere Complementarianism rather than patriarchy?
Because the term patriarchy carries historical baggage and was not the biblical terminology used by the movement; Mere Complementarianism seeks a creational, scriptural basis anchored in creation order and Danvers, avoiding the pejorative implications often associated with 'patriarchy.'
The Mere Complementarianism Interview
Q: Is EFS part of Complementarianism?
No. EFS is a debated topic with diversity among those who identify as complementarians; it is not essential to the Danvers Statement or the core definition of Complementarianism as presented in Mere Complementarianism.
The Mere Complementarianism Interview
Q: What is Complementarianism?
Complementarianism is the belief that men and women are equal in image and inheritance in Christ, but God designed real differences that shape roles in family, church leadership, and broader social life; the Danvers Statement is the baseline confessional articulation of that view.
The Chuck Holmes Interview
Q: How did you come to know Jesus?
Chuck describes a transformative moment in a prison cell where, after feeling guilt and being confronted with the gospel, he embraced faith in Christ and experienced a radical change in his attitudes and relationships.
