  • One of my most fave podcasts!

    I love everything about this show! Love the exchange between Todd and Jimmy when they discuss matters. Love the little Biblical trivia tidbit. Love the humour! (Christians can be funny too!) 😂 and so God-honouring and glorifying!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag Friday: Messianic Dating + Submission & Debt + Missing Joy
Q: What to do if a church's preaching feels more topical than exegetical and whether that justifies leaving?
The host suggests weighing sermon quality, leadership character, and whether the church elders are godly and guiding people toward Christ, with emphasis on protection of family and ministry scope.
Mailbag Friday: Messianic Dating + Submission & Debt + Missing Joy
Q: Jonathan's question about dating a Messianic Jew and what to ask in that context.
The host recommends asking about whether grace alone, faith alone, and Christ alone are the core for salvation, and to probe the legitimacy of blending works with grace through the festivals and use of Yeshua vs Jesus.
The Hymn That Changed Everything, Church Membership Questions, Politics
Q: Explain the gospel to me in your interpretation.
The host contrasts a gospel tract that emphasizes cleaning up life with a gospel centered on Jesus dying to save sinners and delivering them from wrath, highlighting that the gospel is about repentance, trust in Christ, and a transformed life rather than merely moral improvement.
Mailbag Friday: Patriotic Worship + Canceling Parents + Counting Kids
Q: How should a Christian counsel a young adult considering cutting off contact with abusive parents?
Pursue reconciliation where safe, involve church elders as mediators, examine repentance, and prioritize forgiveness while protecting personal safety.
Mailbag Friday: Patriotic Worship + Canceling Parents + Counting Kids
Q: What is needed for a baptism to be a baptism scripturally?
Water deep enough to dunk, and baptism performed in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the act points to dying to self and rising to new life.
