From TikTok testimonies to online debates, “deconstructing faith” has become a movement. This episode looks past the noise to uncover what deconstruction really means, why it happens, and how biblical reconstruction leads to genuine growth instead of spiritual collapse. Listeners will learn where the term originated, how culture has reshaped it, and why many are questioning long-held beliefs through the lens of emotion rather than Scripture. Discover how honest doubt can lead to deeper conviction when truth becomes the foundation, not feelings.

Progressive Christianity often sounds compassionate and inclusive, but does it hold up to the truth of Scripture? In this episode of The Anvil Podcast, we explore what progressive Christianity teaches, why it appeals to so many, and how it departs from the historic Christian faith. Together, we walk through its view of the Bible, Jesus, sin, salvation, and morality, and compare it to the gospel once for all delivered to the saints. We also consider why Scripture warns us against “another gospel” and how we can respond with truth, love, wisdom, and courage. This conversation helps us see why the gospel of Jesus Christ is not only true, but also the better story, one that frees us, transforms us, and calls us to build our lives on the solid rock of God’s Word.

One of the hardest questions in apologetics is this: What happens to people who never hear the gospel? In this episode of The Anvil Podcast, we dig into Scripture, explore different theological perspectives, and wrestle with what God’s Word says about His justice, His love, and His mission. We’ll look at how creation, conscience, and Christ all play a role, and why this question should move us toward action, not passivity.

Whether it’s a neighbor across the street or someone in a distant culture, the call is the same: share the good news of Jesus. Join us as we seek to trust God’s character and live out the Great Commission with urgency and faith.

The world keeps trying to blur the lines between right and wrong—but deep down, we all know some things are always good and some things are always evil. In this episode, we dig into where that sense of morality comes from, why “you do you” thinking doesn’t hold up, and how God’s character gives us a rock-solid foundation for truth. We’ll talk real-world examples, cultural trends, and what it actually looks like to live with courage, grace, and conviction in today’s world.

Why do bad things happen if God is good and all-powerful? In this episode of The Anvil Podcast, we dive headfirst into one of the toughest questions out there: the problem of evil. From tradgedies to natural disasters, this isn’t just a theoretical issue, it’s deeply personal. We explore philosophical ideas like free will and look at what the Bible really says about suffering, and offer practical steps for navigating pain with faith. Whether you’re wrestling with doubt or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation will challenge you, comfort you, and remind you that God isn’t absent, He’s present in the middle of the mess.

In the final episode of our Worldview Series on The Anvil Podcast, we are joined by Austin, a young adult pastor who actively builds relationships with Muslims in the DFW area and shares the gospel with boldness and love. Together, we dive into the foundations of Islam, including its origins, the Five Pillars, and how its answers to life’s biggest questions compare to the message of Christianity.

We also discuss real-life stories, common misconceptions, and practical ways to engage in meaningful conversations with Muslim friends. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of both belief systems, and a deeper confidence in the grace and assurance found in Jesus alone.

Austin shares a hilarious embarrassing story and gives an update on his ministry work and new book.
