Are Jehovah's Witnesses Christian?

At first glance, many people assume the answer is yes. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Jesus, use the Bible, and actively share their faith. So why have Christians historically reached a different conclusion?

In this episode, we examine what Jehovah's Witnesses believe about Jesus, the Trinity, the resurrection, and the Holy Spirit, and compare those teachings to the doctrines of historic Christianity.

We'll discuss why the identity of Jesus is at the center of this debate, why the bodily resurrection matters, and why Christians throughout history have viewed Jehovah's Witness theology as fundamentally different from biblical Christianity.

As always, our goal is not to attack people, but to examine truth claims in light of Scripture.

For more than a year now, the Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting, or AMP, has been working to create new frameworks for podcast measurement. In this week’s Media Roundtable, we’re announcing some of our latest findings.

Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) and Giles Martin (EVP -Strategy, Oxford Road) welcome Pete Birsinger (CEO & Founder, Podscribe) to discuss the problem with downloads, AMP’s internal tug-of-war, and the new standard metrics that could help grow the industry.

“ This type of evolution should put podcasting on a better footing to compete with other media channels for an enormous part of advertising dollars.”
