How do I handle my rebellious teen? Is there something I need to change about my parenting? What’s the best way to confront him about his sin?

In this podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Ken Ramey emphasize the importance of not only speaking the truth of God’s Word to our teens, but also living it out before them. They also address some of the factors that could possibly contribute to a rebellious teenager’s behavior, such as negligence, undue severity, or inconsistency.

But what about the unbelieving teen? We want to see our children come to Christ – how do we present the Gospel to them? What does this evangelistic relationship look like? These questions and more are addressed in this brief podcast, as Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Ken Ramey take us to God’s Word.

Why Are Christians Judgmental? Is Christianity a judgmental religion? Doesn’t the Bible say, “Thou shalt not judge?” If Christians are called to love, shouldn’t they practice tolerance and acceptance?

In this podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Ken Ramey explain the difference between judgmentalism (which is wrong) and judging (which is actually Biblical). They define judgmentalism as taking personal opinions and preferences, and imposing them on others as though they are God’s law. Judging, however, is something that Christians are actually called to do. What does this look like in words and actions? Can we be loving and still confront and rebuke sin? These questions and more are addressed in this brief podcast, as Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Ken Ramey take us to God’s Word.

How Do I Deal with Anxiety? Anxiety is an issue that all of us face at some point in our lives. What can we do when we’re crippled by worry, fear, and dread? What is the answer for the anxiety that so often plagues us?

In this podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Ken Ramey provide thoughtful, yet straightforward answers to these questions from the standpoint of a Biblical worldview. They explain that faith in Christ is the ultimate answer for our anxious hearts. We can’t trust a God that we don’t know; therefore, our relationship with Him is key. Though God deals with us gently and compassionately, at the same time, He requires us to conduct our lives according to His Truth – and that includes our thought lives. It means living, thinking, and feeling like we really believe that God exists, and that He cares for us.

What Is the Reformation? The Reformation is a key part of church history – but why? What is it about the Reformation that made it so significant? Why is it still important to us today?

In this podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and special guest Dr. Ken Ramey discuss the Reformation as a time in which the true, unchanging Gospel was rediscovered. They review the history of the Reformation with regards to Martin Luther and the heresy of the Catholic Church, pointing out the relevance of the events that happened five hundred years ago.

What can we learn from the Reformation? Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Ramey explain that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is still being attacked, distorted, and compromised today; and we still have that same responsibility to preserve its purity.

Why Are There So Many Denominations? There are countless denominations in Christianity – why so many? Which denomination should we align ourselves with? What are we to look for in a church with regards to its denomination?

In this podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and special guest Dr. Ken Ramey suggest that the real issue is not whether a church is of a particular denomination, but whether it believes the Bible and functions according to Scriptural principles. What the church believes about the Gospel, the sacraments, and church discipline are of primary importance.

But why so many denominational distinctions? Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Ramey acknowledge that believers who love God and believe the Bible differ on some secondary issues. This is the result of our imperfect, unglorified minds trying to grasp the truths of God’s Word. So how should we go about finding and choosing a church to be a part of?  This question and others are addressed in this brief podcast, as Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Ken Ramey take us to God’s Word.
