What is regeneration? Scripture teaches that salvation involves more than forgiveness of sins. Because sinners are spiritually dead, God must give them spiritual life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical doctrine of regeneration: the sovereign work of God by which He makes spiritually dead sinners alive, gives them a new heart, and enables them to repent, believe, and follow Christ. In this episode, you will learn: • Why humanity's deepest problem is spiritual death • What it means to be born again • Why regeneration is God's work of grace, not self-improvement • How new desires and growing obedience flow from new life in Christ Key Scriptures: John 3:3–8; Titus 3:4–7; Ephesians 2:1–10.

In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains Romans 12:1–2 and the biblical necessity of a renewed mind. In a culture filled with competing voices, false teaching, emotionalism, and worldly philosophies, believers are called not to be conformed to this age but to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through God's Word. Dave considers the relationship between doctrine and godliness, the role of the local church in spiritual maturity, and the sufficiency of Scripture to guard Christians from deception and conform them to Christ.

Country music is the only genre that talks about getting laid and getting saved in the same song. But isn't that a bit blasphemous – and should we even listen to that kind of thing? Kevin Swanson speaks with Bill Jack about how Americana turned gay…how "Christians" like Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood helped…and where to draw the line in consuming the sorts of music they helped popularize. What you'll hear: - The 52-year history of glazing fornication and homosexuality as fun and judgment-free (and how Dolly Parton was at the forefront of this back in 2005) - How the female artists have gone from most conservative, to most revolutionary, over the past 20 years - How music lured us into cultural revolution by making it seem attractive and desirable - The difference between excellent art, like John Lennon's "Imagine," and art worthy of immersing yourself in for enjoyment - Practical ways to decide what to listen to (and what not to), including ideas like printing out lyrics to examine them with your kids Got a topic you want us to cover?

Church hurt is real, and Scripture does not ask wounded believers to pretend otherwise. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how the failures of pastors, leaders, and fellow Christians must never be confused with the character of Christ. This episode considers biblical church discipline, leadership failures, bitterness, forgiveness, restoration, and the need for discernment when deciding whether to remain in or leave a local church. Above all, it points wounded believers to Jesus Christ, the faithful Shepherd who heals the brokenhearted and never abandons His sheep.
