  • Excellent Reformed Baptist Discussions

    Caleb and his guests do the work of laying out the particularly Baptist views of issues within the historically Reformed context. Their conversations lay out the tablecloth for feasting on the rich heritage of Baptists.

    Love the approach. Love the irenic nature. Love the desire to understand arguments from real people and not strawmen. I’m gaining a deeper knowledge and respect for both sides.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Amillennialism with Kim Riddlebarger
Q: What do you think is the most challenging aspect of your view to defend?
Amillinarians have failed to clearly communicate their perspective, leading many to misunderstand Amillennialism as mere Roman Catholic nonsense.
Amillennialism with Kim Riddlebarger
Q: How do you understand the relationship between Israel and the church?
God's plan involves one covenanted people comprising both Jews and Gentiles, where salvation is through Christ, not separated by ethnic lineage.
Tim Keller on the Christian Life with Matt Smethurst
Q: What do you think is Keller's contribution to understanding prayer?
Keller offered a distinctly reformed approach to spiritual formation, emphasizing the importance of experiencing God through prayer without diminishing theological truths.
Historic Premillennialism with Jim Hamilton
Q: What do you think is the most challenging aspect of your view to defend?
I think premillennialism has some reproach that it has to bear because it's seen as strange or unexpected, yet I believe it's substantiated by many details of the text that make sense within a millennial framework.
Historic Premillennialism with Jim Hamilton
Q: How does your understanding of Daniel 9 factor into your view?
I became convinced that Daniel intends both the whole 70-week period to be interpreted symbolically and that the symbol is 7-7 makes up a jubilee, indicating a broader theological point rather than a literal timeline.
