AlphaTav

Join in on a 2024 interview with various listeners present, hosted by Dr. Dean Anderson with Preserving the Christian Family. This topic discusses the Threefold Cord of Development and how it can benefit anyone looking to plant a church and/or develop a culture of engagement in the local church.

We begin to do a deep dive into the Bible, and in this episode, we introduce the opening text of the Bible and how it relates to later texts and the Christian life.

In this episode, submission is reoriented toward a biblical pattern of understanding that lifts the idea above fallen premises of domination and subjection. Leadership should flow through submission, not above it or around it.

Listen in on our first theological narrative! This episode, and future ones, bring theological articles directly from the literary front of AlphaTav. This narrated article examines the biblical context of "touch not mine anointed."

In this episode, Pastor Tim Hadden explores the Council of Nicaea not as the triumph of truth, but as the birth of a compromise. When Constantine gathered the bishops of the empire, his goal wasn’t revelation—it was resolution. Between Arian subordination and Sabellian simplicity, the church drafted a creed that aimed for peace more than truth.

In this episode, Pastor Tim Hadden introduces Watchman Nee’s Spiritual Authority and explores how its influence has shaped both healthy and unhealthy approaches to leadership within Pentecostal contexts. He unpacks the spectrum between authoritarian control and passive non-leadership, and begins tracing how Nee’s ideas became foundational—sometimes problematically so—in modern church culture.

Laying the foundation for understanding what actual spiritual authority is — and isn’t. In an era of deconstruction and skepticism toward leadership, we take a closer look at spiritual authority, particularly a book that has played a significant role in many modern lessons on the topic: Watchman Nee's "Spiritual Authority."

Christianity’s claim that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ has always been controversial. In this episode, we confront the raw and often emotional question: “You mean my ____________ is in hell with Hitler?”  In this episode, we examine some common fallacies and our response to them.

Tune in for a very short, but impactful discussion on an oft-overlooked facet of the book of Deuteronomy. It's an anti-Egyptian emphasis.

What do an ancient cave nap, a forgotten altar, and a paradoxical prophet have to do with the Apostle Paul’s message to Titus—and his sermon on Mars Hill? In this episode, we trace a mysterious thread through Greek legend, philosophical riddle, and apostolic confrontation. Sometimes, the truth hides in the most ironic of places.
