Systematic Theology 101


Listen Later

Episode 17 is here, and apparently the Holy Spirit feels like hot gravy. (We wish we were kidding. We’re not. And yes… you’ll “know it when you experience it.”)

In Systematic Theology, your two unqualified, unstable but official Thunderologists try to do something brave: explain how to take one topic (God, Jesus, sin, salvation, angels, the Holy Spirit, etc.) and track what the whole Bible says about it—so you don’t end up with Christian vibes and non-Christian beliefs. Think of it like this: the Bible is a giant Lego universe and systematic theology is sorting the pieces by type so you can actually build something that matches the Architect… instead of freestyle-inventing bricks and calling it “revelation.”

Along the way, we:

  • bring out the 1,291-page “light read” (Wayne Grudem) because we’re humble like that,
  • break down the classic theology “folders” (bibliology, theology proper, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, ecclesiology, eschatology, and yes—hamartiology),
  • roast fake angel aesthetics because biblical angels are terrifying,
  • and land the plane with the Thunder Buddy translation: use the Bible, use your brain, stay humble, and let it turn into worship.

And just when we’re about to jump into exegesis vs. eisegesis… we get tackled by gravy, interrupted by ninja stars, and reminded (again) that the microphones are physically connected and this is a hazardous work environment.

Come for the clarity. Stay for the chaos. And drop your hot gravy testimony in the comments (we hate that we just typed that).

Next episode: Exegesis vs. Eisegesis — Lord willing, and gravy permitting.
