In this week’s episode, we’re tackling a crucial question: What do we do with Rome, especially when it comes to tradition? From the veneration of Mary to the role of the sacraments, the Catholic Church has long upheld practices that go beyond what Scripture clearly teaches. But how did these traditions develop? And why did the Reformers push back so strongly?

We’ll explore where Scripture and tradition collide, how the Reformers responded, and why the authority of God’s Word must remain central. In a world that often elevates heritage over truth, we’ll consider how holding fast to Scripture keeps us rooted in Christ, not in custom.

In this week’s episode, we’re asking a big question: what do we do with Rome—especially when it comes to salvation? The Reformers didn’t just disagree with the Catholic Church’s authority, they wrestled with how people are made right with God. Is it faith alone? Grace alone? Christ alone? Or is salvation mediated through the Church?

As we trace the roots of the Reformation, we’ll explore why this debate still matters today, and how clarity on the gospel keeps us anchored in truth, not tradition.

#theology #reformed

In this week’s episode, we explore the roots of the Protestant Reformation and how it challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. At the heart of the divide was a simple but vital question: where does final authority lie—Scripture or the Church? As we dig into the tension between tradition and truth, leadership and the Word, we’ll see that our view of authority shapes everything—how we read the Bible, how we follow Jesus, and how we stay grounded in the Gospel.

#theology #reformed

In this week’s episode, we explore how liberalism and modernism can distract and pull the church off course. When the Gospel is reshaped to fit modern tastes or cultural trends, it loses its edge and its power. The focus shifts from Christ to self, from grace to progress, from truth to whatever feels right. In a world chasing relevance, we’re called to hold fast to the unchanging truth of the Gospel: simple, unshakeable, and centered on Jesus.

In this week’s episode, we explore how Christian Nationalism and Theonomy can distract from the Gospel. When the church chases political power or seeks to impose biblical law on society, the message of Christ crucified can be lost. Instead of pointing to Jesus, these movements often shift the focus to nation, law, or control. This episode calls us back to the simplicity of the Gospel, rooted in grace, not grasping for power.

In this week’s episode, we look at how hyper-evangelicalism and American church culture can distract us from the Gospel.

In this week’s episode, we kick off a new series on Gospel distractions—starting with legalism. We’ll explore how legalism pulls us away from the freedom Christ offers and distracts us from finding the rest we talked about last week. At the heart of this episode is the invitation to lay down the burden of earning and embrace the peace that comes from our secure position in Him. Our hope is to make the beauty of resting in Christ unmistakably clear.
