Gen Z is flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, drawn by cathedrals, incense, and a sense of tradition they don’t find in modern evangelical churches. But what’s really behind this trend, and what dangers should we be aware of? At the end of the day, Christianity is not about icons, rituals, or even historical grandeur, it’s about the finished work of Jesus Christ. The gospel gives us full assurance of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and nothing can be added to that.

Most churches today avoid it. Jesus commanded it. So why is church discipline almost nonexistent in modern Christianity?

In this episode, we unpack the biblical, historical, and pastoral case for church membership and church discipline, two non-negotiables if we’re going to call ourselves a true New Testament church. From Matthew 18 to the Belgic Confession, from early church persecution to modern Lone Ranger Christianity, we trace how the church lost its grip on one of Christ’s most loving and necessary commands.

In this episode of Christianly, we answer your most talked-about questions, from the legacy of John MacArthur to the mystery of the Nephilim. We discuss how Christians should respond to government mandates, what pastoral authority really means, how to stay united with believers who hold different theological views, how to foster meaningful Lord’s Day worship at home, and how to disciple singles without treating them like second-tier Christians. Plus, ever wondered what Pastor Tony’s Sunday comfort meal is or his hot take on the WNBA? If your question didn’t make it into this episode, drop it in the comments for next time!

What does the Bible really say about money, generosity, and prosperity? In this podcast, we examine the theology behind popular offering declarations, the prosperity gospel, and even the poverty gospel. What should we make of teachings from Bethel, Piper, or Platt? Is it wrong to want financial blessing? Does God call all believers to give everything away? Join us as we explore Jesus' teachings, Paul's principles, and what faithful stewardship looks like in a culture obsessed with both wealth and minimalism.

Church leadership isn’t about chasing a platform, it’s about humility, submission, and faithfulness. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be called, how to grow in character, and why developing within a local church matters far more than bouncing from one opportunity to the next.

Is it possible to be bold in truth without becoming divisive? In this episode, we explore the roots of Christian fundamentalism and where it went wrong, not in its theology, but in tone and application. From doctrinal triage to cultural engagement, the conversation traces how conviction can turn into isolation when discernment is traded for dogma. Learn why biblical faithfulness doesn’t require angry separatism, and how to stand firm without burning bridges.

Most Christians deeply love Jesus… but many will still go their entire lives without ever sharing the gospel. Why? In this episode of Christianly, we dive into the real reasons believers stay silent. From fear of man and bad theology to a lack of worldview training, we explore why evangelism often stalls at friendship, and never reaches the finish line of gospel proclamation.

Is daily Bible reading a necessary spiritual discipline, or is it just legalism? Many believers struggle to maintain a daily habit of Scripture reading, but what if skipping time in the Word leads to a distorted view of God? What if neglecting the Bible leaves us spiritually weak, vulnerable to deception, and making life-altering mistakes? In this episode, we tackle: Does God want us to read our Bible every day?
