Thanks for tuning in! I am really grateful for the increase in listeners these last couple of weeks.

In this episode, we offer a few crumbs from the rich table of weekly communion for your consideration.

In this episode, we talk about three kinds of liturgies: a liturgy of life, a nominal liturgy, and a dead liturgy. I offer a description of each and conclude with a few practical applications, and there is the expected Nacho quote.

The theme music is "Exuberance" by George Reed.

This episode shares two tributes to the late Rev. Dr. Gregg Strawbridge. The first one is a moving tribute by his daughter Joy, and the second is by a pastor trained under Gregg for Gospel ministry. Both offer a powerful glimpse into the life of this image-bearer who now stands before the presence of God. The episode concludes with the sermon I delivered at the Memorial Service.

You can watch the entire memorial service here.

Have you ever wanted a quick and dirty guide to the old, dead, white guy by the name of Abraham Kuyper? The demand was overwhelming, and I obliged the need of the masses. In this episode, I discuss the five principles that guide a Kuyperian viewpoint, namely,

a) Trinitarianism

b) Great Commission

c) Incarnational Lenses

d) Doxological

e) Church as Didactic

Please leave a comment and spread the wealth.

We sit down with a large glass of orange juice to discuss one of my favorite people in the world, James B. Jordan. We discuss his impact on the hermeneutical revolution and how his method known as interpretive maximalism helps shape and beautify our interpretation of the text of Scriptures.

Lecrae started a fire on Twitter with a post that he had wheat bread and apple juice for communion. He said, "he hoped it counts." While many have criticized Lecrae for his actions, others defended him on the basis of his intentions behind the act. In this episode, I rap in favor of Lecrae and think he is acting out the present evangelical age.

It's been a few weeks, so I went above and beyond in offering reasons for why Christians should consider the use of the Church Calendar as we approach Advent. Please share your thoughts and questions.

This episode should make dudes uncomfortable and acting like hooligans simultaneously. I discuss why men loving other men is biblical and what happens when we forsake that vision.

In this episode, I discuss the vicious antagonist spirit of public schools towards Trinitarian religion, and also offer some ideas on how the Church can encourage parents to remove their children. And of course, one Nacho Libri impression!

Why are men not singing in Church? Various articles have attempted to answer that question recently. But before we can try to offer a rationale for such a spectacular question, we need to observe that some are entirely comfortable allowing this trend to continue. After all, music plays a minimal role in their worship expressions. Others find the issue of congregational singing irrelevant due to the trained praise bands that lead worship each Sunday. “Let the professionals lead.” 

With this in mind, where do we go from here?
