  • Must-listen

    The STR podcasts are must-listen for me. They are so good at addressing lies, misunderstandings, and false teachings on today’s social media malaise. They have helped me understand the wrong presuppositions embedded in modern thought: materialism and subjectivism.

  • Always Informative

    I must’ve been listening to this podcast since 2020, I suppose. Heard about it from Jack Hibbs.

    Greg and Amy are a great team and both of them bring terrific insight to common objections against Christian doctrine, and they tackle some of the current cultural issues.

    They’ve consistently produced a couple of shows a week, which I enjoy listening to each Friday.

    Thanks to the STR team.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Evidence in Scripture Identifies the Holy Spirit as a Person?
Q: What is the value of studying the Spirit's work through Scripture rather than relying on experiential methods?
They advocate a thorough inductive, verse-by-verse study of the Spirit's described functions, to establish a robust pneumatology grounded in the Bible rather than in feelings or mystical experiences.
What Evidence in Scripture Identifies the Holy Spirit as a Person?
Q: What are the risks of contemplative prayer and listening prayer in spiritual formation?
The hosts argue that listening prayer and similar practices are non-biblical or dangerous because they can promote private revelation or experiences not grounded in Scripture, potentially misrepresenting God's Word.
What Evidence in Scripture Identifies the Holy Spirit as a Person?
Q: Does Mark 13:33 mean that the Holy Spirit does not know the day of Christ's return?
They discuss the interpretation that Jesus, in kenosis, did not reveal all knowledge during his earthly ministry, and that the Spirit, as God, retains full knowledge; later glorification grants broader knowledge to all empowered by the Spirit.
What Evidence in Scripture Identifies the Holy Spirit as a Person?
Q: Aside from the use of a male pronoun by translators, what evidence in scripture identifies the Holy Spirit as a person as opposed to the transforming power of God?
Answers point to multiple verses showing personal agency and actions: intercession, testifying, convicting, and praying as acts performed by a person rather than an impersonal power, plus passages where the Spirit speaks and guides in tandem with the Father and the Son.
Is Fasting Food Specific?
Q: Is faith from 1 Corinthians 12 a gift specific to some believers or is it the general saving faith given to all?
Faith is discussed as both a common human capacity and a spiritual gift distributed by the Spirit; some believers may have a stronger, more energized faith as a gift for certain purposes, while saving faith operates across all believers.
