We're reflecting on a summer of reading and recommending our favorite reads!

For most of church history, Song of Songs was among the most popular books to teach, preach, and study. Now it's typically viewed as a book about marriage. Is there more to it? Cole and Terry discuss this poetic masterpiece and explain the ways it te... more

Ecclesiastes is unlike any other book in the Bible. The wise King Solomon shares his experiences about life under the sun, struggle, vanity, and the purpose of life. Even here, we can see pointers to Jesus Christ.

Sometimes it's the hardest times that teach us what is most important. In the second half of this episode on The Tower and the Ruin, Dr. Michael Drout opens up about the sorrow behind the book and how Tolkien's stories helped him through.

  • Rich in Knowledge and Wisdom

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a little over a year now. It’s by far my favorite discussion/commentary style podcast about biblical principles, currents events from the Christian perspective, and deep insights into the revelation of Jesus Christ. If you also listen to Cole and Terry’s sermons, this podcast gives a little insight into how they prepare their teachings. It’s been incredibly beneficial for someone like me who is wanting to get into ministry and doesn’t have the proper schoo... more

  • Calm Voices That We Need

    Great podcast. I love how they mix it up with each new episode. They will take you through biblical chapters and enhance your understanding of the scriptures one week. They’ll recommend books and discuss their themes in another. Then they will take a look at cultural norms in today’s society through the lens of Biblical thought. Discussions are well thought out and I learn something new each listen. It has also enhanced my discipleship with my family and friends. Big thanks to Cole and Terry for... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Great Fiction Helps Us See the Real World with Dr. Robert Dobie
Q: Can you suggest a non-Tolkien book that helps understand Tolkien better?
Beowulf, as a distant ancestor of the mythic and heroic modes that shape Tolkien's writing, helping readers notice parallels and deeper themes.
How Great Fiction Helps Us See the Real World with Dr. Robert Dobie
Q: What's your favorite Tolkien work that is not The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings?
Unfinished Tales, which offers rich insights into Tolkien's broader creative world and its influences on his famous works.
The War for Middle-Earth with Dr. Joseph Loconte
Q: What makes their friendship so central to their literary achievement?
The host and Loconte discuss the idea that the Inklings' friendship provided mutual encouragement and critique, which helped each author finish and deepen their work, illustrated by scenes of shared manuscript readings and emotional support.
The War for Middle-Earth with Dr. Joseph Loconte
Q: Where did you get the idea to tell this two-volume story about Tolkien and Lewis, and do you anticipate a third volume?
Loconte explains that his approach emerged from teaching Western civilization and wanting to contextualize the authors within the two global conflicts; he envisions the project as a long arc, with the second book focusing on World War II-era shaping of their thought and works, and he hints at ongoing exploration rather than a definite third volume.
Men of Virtue with Dr. Zachary Wagner
Q: What role does Jesus play in redefining manhood for Christians?
Jesus is presented as the exemplar of true masculinity—meek, restrained, and sacrificial—showing that strength is best expressed through gentleness and self-denial rather than domination.
