  • 034 - From Death to Life
    This part two of an interview with Pastor Allen Nelson about his book, From Death to Life: How Salvation Works. In this segment we discuss dangers to avoid and hit on such topics as easy-believism, the practice of altar calls and the so-call prosperity "gospel." We wrap things up with a few other books recommended by our guest as well.

  • 033 - Absolution
    The Bible declares that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Your sins have been forgiven and from time to time we need to be reminded of that. The guarantee of forgiveness ought to forever erase the record of debt that once stood against us. That has all been nailed to the Cross. On this episode I invited my friend, and fellow podcast host, Scott Oakland to chat about the idea the concept of absolution. Though Scott comes at this from a Lutheran perspective, we can all agree that the assurance of forgiveness is just a plain, Biblical concept.

  • 032 - Gnosticism
    There is nothing new under the sun. Even many of the problems and false teachings plaguing the church today are nothing more than a few ancient heresies redressed and updated for modern times. One of the earliest false teachings the early church dealt with was called Gnosticism. While our early church fathers rejected this teaching, it hasn't completely gone away. Join us this week as Ray Jewell comes back on the podcast to warn us of how this heresy is once again creeping into the church.

  • 031 - Together for the Gospel, Part 3 - Preachers in A Car

    The Basic Bible Podcast finally does one of those cool, in-the-car, not edited episodes that's all the rage these days... This is the third and final installment of our special Together for the Gospel series. Driving back from the conference, I am trapped in a car with three preachers excited about the great preaching we all just heard. Joining us are Pastor Jeremy Scott (Memorial Baptist Church - Verona, WI), Pastor Dan Loggans (Christ Fellowship Church - Sun Prairie, WI), and Pastor Micah Tanis (First Baptist Church - Morris, MN). So, we recorded this conversation in the car discussing what we all learned and even continuing the conversation we started in episode one about the celebrity preacher culture.

  • 029 - Together for the Gospel, Part 1
    Together for the Gospel began as the brainchild of preachers Mark Dever, C.J. Mahaney, Albert Mohler and Ligon Duncan. Since 2006 T4G has been a cross-denominational conference featuring expository preaching, phenomenal singing and tons of free books, all from a Reformed perspective, attracting over 10,000 people. This year was the first year I was able to attend thanks to a free ticket that came my way. In appreciation of this, I recorded three different episodes focused on the conference. In this first episode I chatted with my travel buddy, Pastor Jeremy Scott of the Memorial Baptist Church in Verona, WI. We chatted about conferences in the past (Jeremy has been to all of them since 2008), what we were expected and then wrapped things up talking about the celebrity preacher culture and the importance of the local church.

  • 028 - The Atonement
    In this post-Easter episode Pastor Phil Allen (Daystar Christian Fellowship) and I chat about the price Christ paid for our sins. We even get into controversial issues such as the Reformed doctrine of limited atonement. But most importantly we emphasize this doctrine not merely as theological trivia but as a precious truth that ought to lead our hearts toward greater worship of Christ.
