That’ll Preach

If you’ve ever wondered how the Bible fits together—or how its story leads us to Jesus—this episode is for you. I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Linebaugh, New Testament scholar and expert on Paul’s theology, to explore how the law, grace, and gospel fit within the grand narrative of Scripture. We talk about how Paul reads the Old Testament, why the gospel is not just good advice but good news, and how grasping the biblical story can reshape the way we live as Christians today.

In this episode, I sit down with Wyatt Graham, Executive Director of The Davenant Institute and TGC Canada, to explore what it means for Baptists to embrace Protestant retrieval today. We trace how Baptists began as a renewal movement within the wider church, seeking to recover biblical faithfulness, and how that story speaks into our present moment.

Wyatt helps us wrestle with the dangers of fundamentalism, the temptation of fragmentation, and the hope of retrieval for shaping a deeper, more catholic, and more reformed Baptist identity. Together, we ask what it would look like for Baptists not merely to react to culture, but to recover the riches of the historic Christian tradition for the renewal of the church.

In a time when discipleship often feels like a buzzword, how do we actually form Christians who know and love the faith?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Alex Fogleman, author of Making Disciples: Catechesis in History, Theology, and Practice. We dive into how the ancient practice of catechesis can revitalize discipleship today. From the early church’s baptismal formation to practical wisdom for modern churches, Dr. Fogleman shows how catechesis isn’t just for kids—it’s a rich, intentional process for forming mature believers in doctrine, worship, and life.

What if the Baptists weren’t just a pragmatic breakaway movement—but a theologically rich tradition born out of deep conviction?

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Matthew Bingham, Associate Professor of Church History at Phoenix Seminary and author of Orthodox Radicals: Baptist Identity in the English Revolution. We talk about the real origins of the Baptist movement, the surprising ways early Baptists saw themselves in relation to the wider Reformed tradition, and what that means for evangelicals today—especially those wrestling with a pull toward higher-church traditions.

In this episode, we sit down with theologian Ryan Hurd to explore one of the most profound and often misunderstood attributes of God: His mercy.

Drawing from his deep engagement with classical theism, scholastic theology, and biblical exegesis, Ryan walks us through the rich doctrinal framework that helps us understand how God's mercy is not in conflict with His immutability or sovereignty, but rather flows from the very heart of who God is. We talk about how modern theology often misses the mark by reading human emotion back into God. If you’ve ever wrestled with how God can be merciful without changing, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Jamieson, senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Chapel Hill and author of the insightful new book Everything Is Never Enough: Ecclesiastes' Surprising Path to Resilient Happiness. Bobby draws on his scholarly background and pastoral heart to guide us through Ecclesiastes—not as a gloomy tragedy, but as a gateway to deeper, enduring joy grounded in God’s goodness.

We dig into themes like ambition, burnout, fleeting pleasures, and finding satisfaction unmasked by the relentless pursuit of “more.” Bobby shows how this ancient wisdom speaks directly into our fast-paced, high-expectation culture, pointing us toward a joy that lasts.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jeremy Treat, pastor for preaching and vision at Reality LA and author of the new book, On the Incarnation: The Good News of Jesus for the Renewal of the World. Drawing from the brilliance of Athanasius—an early church father who defended the full divinity of Christ—Treat makes ancient theology come alive for modern readers.

We explore how Athanasius's Christ-centered theology speaks to the cosmic scope of salvation, the brokenness of our world, and the beauty of Jesus’s incarnation. Jeremy also shares how theology and pastoral ministry intersect in his own life, and why recovering the early church’s voice matters today.

Are Baptists just LARP-ing when they talk about tradition and retrieval? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ian Clary—historian, theologian, and co-host of Into Theology—to explore how Baptists fit within both the Protestant and broader catholic tradition. We dive into questions of church history, patristic theology, and the resurgence of retrieval among younger evangelicals. Can Baptists draw from the deep wells of Nicaea, Augustine, and Aquinas without losing their distinctives? Are we heirs or imposters in the great tradition? Find out in this episode.

Are courage, wisdom, humility, and justice gendered? Are certain virtues inherently masculine or feminine? Drawing on philosophical reasoning, Aristotelian ethics, and the incarnational model of Christ, we explore three compelling arguments for why virtue should be understood as fully human, not gender-coded.
