Join Dale Partridge and Trevor West in the inaugural episode of a four-part series focused on discovering Christ in the midst of chronic illness. In this episode, Dale shares his personal experience with mold toxicity and delves into its impact on his life, family, and ministry.

Last week, Dale released a tweet that said,

“The absurd number of dog parks being built across America is telling. We have rejected children to such a degree that many cities are building more recreation sites for pets than playgrounds for kids.

Namely, our culture is so selfish that it’s now shaping civics. All previous generations would see spending $225,000 of taxpayer money on pet pleasure as foolish and idiotic. 

But cities always follow culture, and culture always follows what they worship. When Christ isn’t seen as Lord, pet praise and childlessness are two sad consequences.” 

G.K. Chesterton once spoke to this relationship between pet praise and the rejection of children. He said, “Wherever there is animal worship, there is human sacrifice.”

In this episode of Real Christianity, Dale explores what has happened in our culture to allow this glorification of pets to occur.

In this delightful era where a documentary titled "What is a woman?" can captivate the masses, and where global companies, politicians, presidents, and even religious leaders seem to have misplaced their understanding of basic truths regarding gender, sexuality, and family, I present to you a brief episode that aims to define the ever-elusive concept of marriage. Because clearly, the world needs a little refresher on this subject. 

In this episode of Real Christianity, Dale Partridge discusses how marriage is more than just a relationship, but rather is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, established, ordained, and defined by God Himself, and, therefore cannot be redefined by man.

For the next thirty days, the world will be saturated with Rainbow Ramadan, and Christians will be forced to shield the eyes of their children from pride parades filled with sodomites and sexual deviants. 

Companies, government agencies, sports teams, and celebrities will bow down to the god of the LGBT sex religion and will expect Christians to continue to patronize their brands without resistance. 

So, what are Christians to do? What lessons can be learned? How can we think biblically about this season of debauchery? 

In this episode, Dale Partridge details three points to help you stand boldly for Christ, not violate your conscience through silence, and how to dispense Gospel truth to the gay community.

In April of 2023, I released a two-part podcast series entitled “Should Women Teach Other Women Theology.” Because of the natural course of developmental clarity, I suggest listening to this episode. This article intends to offer maximum clarity on the content presented. As you may know, this topic has caused a significant discussion regarding biblical boundaries for women and women’s ministries. During this public discussion, several influential women made comments. Some were helpful and respectful, while others were slanderous and sinful.

We all have a faith that's equal to one another in the sense of what it can accomplish, that being salvation by grace through faith in Christ. But again, we have different measures of faith given to some have weaker faith and some have stronger faith. But because all Christians share in the same saving faith, we can expect to have the same ability by exercising that faith as Abraham did to take God at his word. And so in the same way Abraham trusted God regarding the seemingly impossible promises that were given to him in Genesis. We can trust God regarding the seemingly impossible promises that are given to us. We can trust the same way that Abraham trusted God.

When God gives us the gift of saving faith, accomplished by God's good pleasure upon us, we will have such capacity to believe him and take him at his word.

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge talks about two vital truths. First, how our faith is connected to the faith of Abraham, and second, how our faith hinges on the resurrection of Christ.

Over the past several weeks, we've been discussing the great reformation doctrine of justification by faith alone. We've also seen Paul defend that doctrine from a variety of different angles. We've learned that Paul spends the first quarter of this book to the Romans proclaiming and explaining this very truth. Now, we're currently in the fourth chapter, but we're really in the third section as it pertains to theological concepts.

Paul answers the question of why the covenant promises are realized strictly by faith alone. He shows how we can trust in the promises given to us because we see Abraham's trust and the promises given to him realized. Ultimately, Abraham's faith is to be an encouragement to us.

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge talks about how God has given us a unique way to have stronger faith.

How should faith and works relate to one another? And if we're saved by faith, what role do works play? Our works are not the means to procuring the promise of God through Christ. Faith is. Many Christians have blurred the line between faith and works, and need to see that there are dramatic distinctions between these two things. Faith is a gift of God, and the Christian's work is something that God has prepared for us because we have been saved by faith. We must have a faith that is desirous of good works, one that says "I long to do the will of my Father because He first loved me and saved me."

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge talks about the distinction between faith and works, and how we should push fellow Christians to do good works, without it becoming legalism.

What's the purpose of the sacraments if they can not secure salvation? What does the Bible teach about these signs and seals? How should this cause Christians to think about baptism and the Lord's Supper? Paul offers us a comprehensive view of the gospel in the book of Romans, giving us better gospel fluency. So far, the book of Romans has shown us the universal condemnation of the law, and that all men are condemned by the law, and are only justified by faith in Christ alone.

This blessing of salvation in Christ is something that occurs before any sacraments are performed. Just as Abraham was justified before he was circumcised, so too we are justified through faith which leads to obedience. We obey, not so that we will be saved, we obey because we have already been saved. We must remember that our obedience is a sign of what God is doing in and through us because He has saved us in Christ.

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge walks us through how we should look at the sacraments and how this understanding should shape how we see baptism and the Lord's Supper.

How do we view the free gift of grace that God gives us in Christ? Paul highlights the idea that those who work for their wages are not entitled to grace, but instead earn what they've earned. Romans 4:4-5 is an important reminder that salvation cannot be earned through our own efforts or adherence to the law, and shows our faith is a gift from God and that salvation is only possible through receiving the free gift of grace found only in Christ Jesus.

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge walks us through what it means that our faith is counted as righteousness, as Paul explains in Romans 4:4-5 we can not work for something that is freely given as a gift.
