  • Not like others

    Heidelcast is not like other Reformed podcasts. It is not a list of sermons. It is not a couple of guys spending more time on themselves than on God. But it is a tool to impart Reformed piety and practice in all of life

  • An encouraging friend on layovers

    I’m an elder in the URCNA and an airline pilot. Thankfully, I’m able to get Sundays off for worship. However during the week (and Saturdays) I am unable to get time to fellowship as I’m on trips. Superfriends Saturday, Heidelminicasts, and the Heidelcast have become my companions during the layovers. So I’m listening in the Caribbean , Hawaii, Canada, NYC, Boston, Florida, etc.

    Sunday is all business as we have extensive setup at our rental facility. It is also the only time we mutually have... more

  • Especially Helpful

    My husband and I have listened to the podcast for approximately 8 years and eagerly await the next episode. Saturday Superfriends are especially entertaining and informative. We enjoyed today’s episode 3.21.26 so much we listened twice. The topic of praying to the saints had excellent explanations. Keep up the great variety!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Heidelcast: Superfriends Saturday: Are Theaters & Movies, Card Playing, and General Entertainment Sinful? Or, Have We Become Lax as Christians?
Q: Are theaters slash movies sinful?
No, not per se; the discernment centers on content and its potential to provoke unclean thoughts, with prudence advised in choosing what to watch.
Heidelcast: Superfriends Saturday: The Error of Sandemanianism
Q: Would you please discuss the error of Sandamanianism?
The guests explain that Sandamanianism prioritizes intellectual assent and redefines faith in a way that can downplay personal trust in Christ, while acknowledging that genuine faith should produce fruits and life change; the concern is to preserve justification by faith while avoiding reduction of faith to mere cognition.
Superfriends Saturday: "Be Fruitful and Multiply" - How Does this Command Apply to Families Who Cannot Naturally Have Children?
Q: How can we fulfill both the command to be fruitful and multiply and the Great Commission in families unable to have children?
Adoption is a crucial avenue through which couples can fulfill both commands, contributing positively to the church community and embracing children in need of families.
Heidelcast: Gracious Ministry with Mike Abendroth
Q: What difference have you seen in your congregations since they've sort of gone with you on this journey?
I see is an encouraged congregation. I love it when they come up to me afterwards and say, you know what, I was very encouraged today.
Heidelcast: Superfriends Saturday: The Relationship of "Historical Theologian" to the Offices of the Church
Q: What is the relationship between the historical theologian and the offices of the church?
The historical theologian does not automatically have ecclesiastical authority unless they are ordained, regardless of their academic qualifications.
