  • Sibling Rivalry

    I am Aaron’s younger brother, and our mom told me I had to leave a five star review. Aaron has always been Mom’s favorite, and I am relinquished to a position of “the spare “if you will. Perhaps no one can understand the plight of poor Prince Harry more than myself. I digress, here is the obligatory five star review that I now leave to help to continue to bolster my brother’s already extremely impressive career in life, while I wallow in the grand shadows that he creates, crying myself to sleep ... more

  • Clear. Concise

    Great podcast. He goes straight to topics most avoid and goes straight to the Scripture to address them. I will add a personal note that he was one of the most formative influences in my Christian life. You will be edified.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q & A: Fulfilling the Great Commission, paedobaptist members of Baptist churches, and guarding our hearts from a sense of entitlement.
Q: If the Bible speaks of eternal rewards for faithfulness, how do we guard our hearts against developing an entitled mindset that God owes us blessings in this life?
Two truths: (1) God's blessings are by grace, and nothing is owed to us; (2) while moral principles can bring earthly rewards, God's providence is mysterious, and suffering or blessing do not negate faithfulness; cultivate gratitude and remember God's sovereignty to avoid entitlement.
Q & A: Fulfilling the Great Commission, paedobaptist members of Baptist churches, and guarding our hearts from a sense of entitlement.
Q: Should a Baptist Church vote those who adhere to paedobaptism into membership?
The host distinguishes scenarios: membership should generally require believer's baptism, but may allow some with paedobaptist histories if they are willing to be baptized scripturally and are not going to cause division; outright opposition to infant baptism or persistent division-making leads to exclusion from full membership, while watch care or associate arrangements may be used in limited, non-divisive cases.
Q & A: Fulfilling the Great Commission, paedobaptist members of Baptist churches, and guarding our hearts from a sense of entitlement.
Q: How does the Great Commission apply for those who are almost always surrounded by other believers?
The host outlines three prongs: (1) take reasonable, intentional steps to connect with unbelievers in the surrounding world; (2) recognize that the Great Commission is holistic—to make disciples, which includes baptizing and teaching obedience; and (3) the church as a whole bears witness through its communal life, so even those not directly leading an unbeliever can contribute to others' discipleship.
Q&A: Sacrifice in worship, the mysterious origin of Cain’s wife, and defining sin when believers have different convictions
Q: Question 3: How do we define sin when believers have different convictions?
Sin is defined as transgression of or lack of conformity to God's law; motives matter, and in adiaphora, believers should avoid violating others' consciences, while conforming personal conscience to Scripture and sometimes restricting freedom for love of others.
Q&A: Sacrifice in worship, the mysterious origin of Cain’s wife, and defining sin when believers have different convictions
Q: Question 2: Where did Cain's wife come from, and who were her parents?
Genesis 5 provides a genealogy from Adam to Noah, indicating Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters, so Cain's wife was likely one of those unnamed daughters; early humanity may have involved sisterly unions before later prohibitions.
