  • Great content. Better hearts.

    I have been a long time listener of this podcast and one of my favorite things in addition to the excellent thinking and conversation and discussion is how often one of the guys will break out in tears over how deeply the topic or issue affects them or their congregation.

  • Wonderful and Theologically Sound

    Thank you so much for this podcast. It’s one of my favorites among my subscriptions to other “old guys talking about the Reformation” podcasts. I love the Sola Newspaper—makes things affordable for a high schooler like me without any pocket money. Keep it up. You guys really are showing people the riches of the Reformation. Soli Deo Gloria!

    Quick note: In the “Why Are People Coming to the Reformation?” episode, Mr. Horton gets stuck on an audio loop for 10-20 seconds. That may need to be fixed.

  • Evangelical to Catholic

    I am disappointed you did not press more on Catholicism. Asked if he believes the Apocrypha is canonical. Ask if he believes Mary was a virgin for her entire life. Why does the Catholic Church believe Mary can save you as well as Jesus. I was born and raised a catholic. 12 years Catholic school. Catholics at the core have no assurance of salvation, elevate Mary to a different Mary than in the Bible, have a catechism that is larger than the Bible and very convoluted and can constantly change.

    WHI has been an important part of my Sunday morning for years. I appreciate the sound theology and worldview discussions. With the new format, though, I miss the routine of weekly conversations.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Witness to a Post-Christian Culture
Q: What should be the primary strategy for Christians facing a post-Christian culture—legislation or gospel proclamation?
The host and guest emphasize personal witness and proclaiming Christ in daily life as the main strategy, with political engagement acknowledged as important but secondary to gospel preaching and catechesis.
We Reviewed ChatGPT's Answers to Your Theology Questions
Q: Does AI's answer capture the depth of Christian doctrine, or does it reduce faith to therapeutic language?
They argue that AI tends to reduce Christianity to buzzwords and therapeutic categories, lacking the necessary focus on sin, grace, and the objective realities of Christ's work, and thus fails to point people to Jesus crucified and risen.
We Reviewed ChatGPT's Answers to Your Theology Questions
Q: What is better for my mental health: believing in the resurrection or practicing Eastern meditation?
The panelists acknowledge AI's balanced view but contend that the resurrection offers true, objective grounding that transcends mere therapeutic benefit, arguing that ultimate hope comes from the truth of the gospel rather than transient emotional comfort.
The Rise of Islam in the West with Adam Francisco
Q: What do Muslims think about the doctrine of the Trinity?
Most Muslims believe that the Trinity is a misunderstanding of the concept of monotheism and see it as inconsistent with their belief that God cannot have partners or offspring.
The Theology of C.S. Lewis
Q: How do we engage with the more controversial aspects of Lewis?
We should recognize he is a layman wrestling with complex issues and that disagreement is part of respectful engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions About White Horse Inn

What is White Horse Inn about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Conversations regularly cover church history, biblical interpretation, doctrinal disputes, and how faith intersects politics, media, and society—often with a historical or confessional lens.
