  • 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: Quieting our minds in the noise, religious liberty, and glorification.
Q: Why does Romans 8:30 speak of glorified as if it has already happened, and what is the significance of this for believers today?
The host explains that the verse presents a theological certainty from God's perspective, showing the complete chain of redemption and the guarantee that believers will be glorified, reinforcing assurance of salvation.
Q & A: Quieting our minds in the noise, religious liberty, and glorification.
Q: In a culture that supports freedom of religion, what should the Christian approach to evangelism be, and how much tolerance is too much?
The host differentiates church mission from state power, advocates for religious liberty to check state authority, and argues for discerning limits on toleration in order to preserve Western values while continuing to preach the gospel.
Q & A: Quieting our minds in the noise, religious liberty, and glorification.
Q: Question one asks how people can remain diligent in prayer and quiet their minds when there is constant noise.
The host recommends intentional planning and discipline around technology, prioritizing Scripture meditation, prayer, and local, face-to-face engagement over passive consumption, and points to digital minimalism as a framework.
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.
