Giant Steps ~ with Doug Van Dorn

Author, pastor, seminary president, former Army Ranger, PhD candidate, classically trained jazz musician, gourmet chef, Nick Kennicott is a man for all seasons. In this episode, we talk about the topic of his dissertation: critical race theory, how is it communism come home to roost in our own country and why it is one of the most important topics we can discuss in the context of our rapidly disintegrating republic. 

On this episode we take you through the process of what it was like to put together this gargantuan 4 part documentary filmed in five different continents over a span of two years.  Find out how we met and how this project turned us into lifelong friends!

The late Michael Heiser and his teachings have recently come under fire by a group of folks who recently released a 2.5 hour video making erroneous assertions about him and his teachings.  We gathered a high-octane panel of those most familiar with Heiser's teachings in a civil theological rebuttal to these claims.

The doctrine of baptism has been many different takes over the centuries. From the mode to the recipients to the reasons why we do it. In this show, Doug explains why he is a credobaptist, that is someone who baptizes based on a profession of faith rather than also adding the infants of believers into that mix. The previous episode on covenants serves as the starting point, so make sure you tune into that one first. Both episodes present some unique and very eye opening biblical connections and explanations that you won’t hear many other places. In fact, Doug’s argument for baptism is both ancient but also quite unique in its take and explanation. You won’t want to miss it. 

Covenants and the Bible. Helping us understand the unity of the Bible and how important this is to our understanding of its message and it’s God, this show is an overview of covenant theology from Doug’s Reformed Baptist perspective. We take a look at the pre-historical covenant of redemption, the pre-fall covenant of works/life/creation, and the post fall covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Levi, and David on into the new covenant or covenant of grace that God makes with his people through Jesus.

A closer look at the design of creation. God's approach to create, give order, and fill culminates with a 7th day that in it's repose is also a coronation in the Temple that He built for Himself in the sinless version of the world.

Cosmic Mountains.....High places where mankind would attempt to meet with the gods. One day The Son of God very much stood on a an elevated place and did in fact meet with mankind. We discuss the recurring Biblical Themes of cosmic mountains.

If the Chiastic Book of Revelation blew your mind, wait til you see what George Lucas did and most of us never even noticed!!!

Solar flares and cellular networks?! Spanglish! What happened to the sons of God who received the title deed to the spiritual atmosphere? Where did demons come from? Who exactly is Satan? and...an exciting announcement!

When exactly was "the Fall" of man? was it Adam and Eve in the garden? was there another "fall of mankind"?...where there more than two "falls"?. Hold on a minute!! are we sinners simply by being born??   Is it maybe time to review all of this and make sense of some other theories that go back hundreds upon hundreds of years? Have we understood it correctly? Let's unpack all of this!
