September 26, 2019#54 – Who is God?
In this episode, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion of the Apostles' Creed by asking, "Who is God?" They talk about how the Apostles' Creed helps in our understanding of how to answer that question.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
What is the Apostle’s Creed and why does it matter?
Who is God? Why does the creed start with God?
What does it mean that God is Father (almighty)?
Why include that God is Creator?
What does it mean that he is Father theologically?
The Apostles Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth,
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Helpful Definitions:
Sola Scriptura: By Scripture alone. The Bible alone is authoritative but we need tradition to come alongside to help us become better readers
Incommunicable attributes: Things that can only be true of God.
Self-existent: The origin of all things.
Self-sufficient: He needs nothing.
Omnipotent: All powerful.
Sovereign: He has the authority to use His power.
Omniscient: All things are known effortlessly and instantly.
Eternally Begotten: The Son’s unique attribute in relation to the Father and the Spirit: the Son is sourced in the Father, but there was never a time when the Son began. All things are from the Father, through the Son, and by the Spirit.
Eternal Procession: The Holy Spirit’s unique attribute in relation to the Father and Son: He has always come from the Father and the Son and will continue to do so forever. All things are from the Father, through the Son, and by the Spirit.
Immanent relations: The view that centers on the Trinity in and of Himself, or the internal relations between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as present (immanent) only to Himself (c.f. Jn 1:1-2,18); this perspective is distinguished from that of the economic Trinity.

August 08, 2019#50 – Live from Proclaim Truth
#50 - Live from Proclaim Truth
Jen Wilkin, JT English, Kyle Worley, and Elizabeth Woodson talk about the doctrine of God—who God is and how God is—live from the Proclaim Truth Conference.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
What do I mean when I distinguish between theology and theology proper?
Let me just ask our big question right up front: “Can I know who and how God is?”
What difficulties/weaknesses/realities complicate my ability to know who God is?
When I come to the bible should I lay down my theological beliefs and conclusions?
Any advice for women in churches where the pastors want the women's ministry to happen organically and resist having any sort of coordinator?
Are the creeds a part of the canon? If not, why not say they are an imperative part of understanding the bible but they are not the bible?
I help teach and lead a bible study at my church but the more I study God and his word the more I feel like I don’t know enough to teach. Should I stop?
When the women in our studies see God as a cuddly bear/daddy, how would you approach this with grace and attribute to God’s holiness as well?
Helpful Definitions:
Anthropology: Doctrine of man
Soteriology: Doctrine of salvation
Ecclesiology: Doctrine of the church
Theology Proper: The doctrine of God. How can we come to know God? Who is God? How does God make himself known to us?

Communicable Attributes: Things that are true about God that can also be true about us.
Incomprehensible: Not able to be fully understood.
General Revelation: God reveals his divine attributes in the world.
Special Revelation: God reveals who He is in the Word of God incarnate and the Word of God inscripturated.
Rationalism: The quest for certainty and knowledge is sourced in reason and the mind of the individual.
Empiricism: The quest for knowledge is sourced in sensory experience and nature.
Romanticism: The quest for knowledge is sourced from our feelings.
Modernity: Epistemology leads to metaphysics.
Pre-Modernity: Metaphysics leads to epistemology.

July 11, 2019#49 – A Conversation with Dr. Ligon Duncan
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr. Ligon Duncan to talk about everything from catechism to baptism and more.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
What doctrinal, historical, cultural, or philosophical issues have your attention right now?
How helpful can confessionalism be in an age where a church can be divided over cultural issues?
Can we talk about catechism for a bit? For Presbyterians in your spheres, is catechesis still important? How does it work itself out in the homes and churches of Presbyterian families?
How should we think about catechizing our children into distinctly christian beliefs and orthodoxy?
Talk to me about baptizing babies. What am I missing? Is this just a natural outgrowth of covenantal theology? Are we, those who want to embrace a covenantal perspective but not baptize children, the inconsistent ones?
Helpful Definitions:
Ecclesiology: The doctrine of the church.
Sacramentum: The epaulet or badge that would be worn on a Roman army officer's uniform. An oath taken by a Roman military officer.
Guest Bio:

June 13, 2019#48 – You Ask…We Answer (Kinda, Sorta, Not Really)
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions from listeners. They cover topics like eternal subordination of the Son, the closed nature of the canon and more.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
Eternal Subordination of the Son and Complementarian Theology: Let’s talk.
How do we defend the closed nature of the canon?
What is the meaning of 1 Timothy 2:15 -- “women are saved through childbearing?”
The doctrine of justification: reformed view v.s. NT Wright’s position?
What did Jesus do in the three days between his death and resurrection?
Why do women no longer cover their hair in worship? (Cor. 11:2-16)
Does prayer change God’s mind?
How do you define what is theologically essential?
Per our episode on kid theologians: Is it dangerous to say things like “Jesus loves you” to potentially unsaved kiddos?
If you’re a lay person, thinking about formal theological training to help you lead as a lay person, how do you approach choosing a degree? Master of Arts? Theology? MDiv? Focus in apologetics? Theology? Biblical studies? There’s so many options it’s hard to know where to start.
Helpful Definitions:
Eternal Functional Subordination of the Son: A position that subordinates the Son’s divine will to the Father’s divine will.
Tritheism: Three different god’s with three different wills.
Complementarianism: All humans, both male and female, have been created in God’s image. We share in dignity, power, authority, the mission of God; but men and women are not interchangeable; they are distinct.
