  • 080 - The Pilgrim's Progress: A Poetic Journey

    This week features a guest I've been looking forward to meeting - Paul Cox of RefToons. For the last year RefToons has been my favorite online comic strip. RefToons features great quotes from well-known Reformed theologians accompanied by an awesome, original illustration. Paul is now working an exciting new project, a children's version of Pilgrim's Progress. He "and his wife, Stephanie, guide young readers through an incredible, poetic journey, filled with inspiring illustrations of the trials and triumphs of one man's pilgrimage." You will want to jump on board and support this project, but his Kickstarter campaign ends this week, so act now! Listen in to learn more about this book and how you can help.

  • 079 - Nobody Wants Revival

    Most Christians, if asked, would say they want revival. They might even regularly pray for revival. But, do we really want a genuine revival and all that goes along with a true Bible revival? In his book Nobody Wants Revival, Evangelist Ben Everson confronts us with some false ideas people mistake for Biblical revival and challenges us to individually search our hearts and seek genuine repentance through humility, prayer and holiness. Listen in as Ray Jewell and I chat about this book with Ben himself. It's a great conversation you won't want to miss.

  • 078 - Judging
    If there is anything we know about the life of Jesus is that He never judged anyone and as His followers we too are never to judge anyone. At least this is what so many seem to believe. However, when we look at what Scripture actually says and what Jesus in particular commanded us to do, you might be a bit surprised. So, you will want to listen to this episode! Joining me this week is Doug Shaw of Forthright Ministries International. Doug will also share about an exciting new project his ministry is beginning to tackle.

  • 077 - Christian Marriage
    What makes a Christian marriage distinctly Christian? In his latest book Christian Marriage: An Introduction, Dr. David Ayers of Grove City College, takes us through what the Bible has to say about this subject starting where God starts - the Garden of Eden. This is a fascinating book and we has quite a fascinating conversation about it on this week's podcast. We chat about pre-marriage counseling, how churches can promote health marriages and, yes, we talk about sex among other things.

  • 074 - The Sanctity of Human Life in Light of Current Events
    In response to legislation in the states of New York and Virginia that would seek to radically expand abortion rights, Ray Jewell and I discuss the sanctity of every human life both in and out of the womb. Rather than a technical lecture, we speak from the heart and turn to the Word of God as we consider this very complex issue.

  • 073 - The Attributes of God - The Contemplation of God
    This is our final episode of our journey through the attributes of God. Join us as Pastor Phil Allen (Daystar Christian Fellowship in South Beloit, WI) helps us wrap things up with a discussion about how to even think about God.

  • 072 - The Attributes of God - The Wrath of God
    We all like to bask in the love of God, but Scripture also speaks of God's wrath. When we think of anger from a human perspective, we think of someone consumed with vengeance and ready to seek revenge. Is this the God of the Bible? Is the wrath of God ever justified? Joining us this week is Pastor Tim Johnson of the Rock Valley Chapel in Beloit, WI. You won't want to miss this look into a very unpopular subject.
