    If we care at all about building a new Christendom, we need to get better at drawing the right battle lines.

    Theological triage is a bit of a buzzword in some circles, but it's of immense import. Here is the first of a few episodes walking through what we think is a fuller and much more practical approach than many breakdowns.

    The reality is: the cultural battle lines have shifted over the last 20-30 years; and Christians need to adjust their infighting (er, intramural debate) accordingly.

  • Why the Move to Eastern Orthodoxy?

    Have you noticed the increasing frequency of evangelical Christians leaving the church and denomination they grew up in, to join a higher church tradition, especially Eastern Orthodoxy?

  • The Whole Inhabited World

    Is it "world," "inhabited world," or "empire?" It's a big deal to some. Does dispensationalism skew the translation? Let's talk about it.

  • Against Postmil Newspaper Exegesis

    The dreaded NeWsPaPeR eXeGeSiS! The dispensationalist's Achilles' heel!


    We sort it out in today's episode.

    1) People mean at least two different things by the term.
    2) Everyone does it.
    3) And depending on your definition, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

  • Christianity's Not a Religion... Or is it?

    In this episode, Toph critiques the common phrase, "Christianity's not a religion; it's a relationship." There is some absolutely crucial truth at the heart of that stock phrase. But in our opinion, it confuses matters more than it brings clarity.

    • The Biggest Lie in Christianity?

      Did the Father and Son experience a separation when Christ dies on the cross? Most Christians believe so. Apparently, some think this is absurd—in fact, some think this is "the biggest lie in Christianity." That seems extreme—let's talk about it.
