The Postscript Show

On this long-form episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a discussion about what makes us human. 

There is a theological thread woven throughout Scripture that many Christians have never fully traced—a theme that stretches from Eden to eternity, from the wilderness tabernacle to the New Jerusalem. It is the story of God dwelling with humanity.

In this episode, we explore the "Seven Temples" of the Bible and uncover how each temple reveals something profound about God's character, humanity's rebellion, Christ's redemptive work, and the ultimate purpose of history itself. From the Ark of the Covenant and the glory of Solomon's Temple to the New Testament believer and the future temple yet to come, this conversation brings together prophecy, theology, typology, and the gospel into one sweeping biblical narrative. If you enjoy seeing how the whole Bible connects, this episode will be deeply rewarding.

To discuss today's topic, we are joined by Sam Miles, President of the Living Faith Bible Institute and a Biblical Studies instructor at LFBI.

For centuries, Christians have wrestled with one of the most important questions in theology: when Jesus says, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,” what exactly does He mean? Is Christ describing an irresistible act of divine selection given only to a predetermined few, or is He revealing the gracious provision of God through the very person and work of Christ Himself?

As we look at the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, is there an emphasis on an unconditional decree, or does the instruction reveal an all-sufficient Christ who satisfies the deepest hunger of mankind? Whether you are firmly committed to Calvinism, deeply opposed to it, or simply trying to understand the text more clearly, today’s episode aims to challenge assumptions, sharpen biblical thinking, and ultimately point listeners back to the beauty and sufficiency of Christ.

For this conversation, we are joined by Leighton Flowers, professor of theology at Trinity Seminary and host of the Soteriology 101 podcast. Leighton has recently written a book called Drawn by Jesus, a direct engagement with the Calvinistic interpretation of John 6 and a response to the arguments popularized by James White.

In the final episode of Pastor Justin Trotter's series on biblical parenting, we discuss the importance of the ministry of reconciliation in how our children are envisioned in their walk with Christ. 

What do you do when you're on the mission field and the plan you penciled down doesn’t work out the way you imagined—when your circumstances are less than ideal? For a lot of missionaries—and honestly, for anyone serious about ministry—trusting God with the unknown is just part of the experience. You don’t always get to choose the setting, the timing, or the conditions… but you do get to choose how you respond.

Faith has a way of shifting your perspective. Instead of slipping into a “woe is me” mindset, faith gives you the resolve to work with whatever God has put in front of you—even if it’s not what you would’ve picked. Whether it’s a living room, a coffee shop, or something completely unexpected, the question isn’t whether it’s ideal—it’s whether you’ll be faithful with it.

Today we’re joined by Kale Horvath, a missionary who has spent just over five years ministering in Budapest. As part of our ongoing series, “The Dilemma of Church Spaces,” he shares the story of how God provided a meeting space for their growing church—an unexpected provision that reminds us how the Lord works through simple faith and a willingness to use whatever He puts in front of us.

Few doctrines stir up more unease in the modern church than the topic of hell. Even recently in the Christian podcast world, debates on the doctrine of hell have been highly publicized. Long-held assumptions about hell and damnation are being challenged by a broader cultural discomfort with the idea of divine judgment.

Many believers have recently been asking: Is conscious torment biblical? Is hell a place where all the unjust live eternally? In this episode, we step into that very debate—not to inflame controversy, but to carefully examine what the Bible says about the eternal destiny of the lost, the character of God, and the urgency of the gospel.

Join us as we discuss the traditional view, as well as Universalism and Annihilationism, in light of what the Bible actually says. For this conversation, we are joined by Dr. Chris Best, instructor of Missiology at the Living Faith Bible Institute.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Justin Trotter for a conversation about the need for parents to have an authentic passion in a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Dispensationalism has been all over theological and political media recently. It is often discussed but frequently misunderstood and, at times, dismissed by those who have never carefully examined it. As a framework for understanding the Bible, dispensationalism has taken many forms and expressions…

So what is dispensationalism?

Does it have historical precedent, or is it merely an invention of post-Enlightenment Zionists? Is dispensationalism forcing something onto the text that isn’t there, or is it simply drawing out a framework already embedded in the fabric of Scripture itself? What should dispensationalism look like? Can it be defined using the Bible itself?

In this episode, we take a closer look at the idea of God’s unfolding administration across time. Along the way, we challenge common misconceptions, reconsider false assumptions, and explore why a clear, biblically grounded understanding of dispensations matters for how we interpret the whole of God’s Word.

For this conversation, we are joined by Dr. James Fazio, Dean of Bible and Theology at Southern California Seminary, and co-editor and contributor to Discovering Dispensationalism: Tracing the Development of Dispensational Thought from the First to the Twenty-First Century.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Justin Trotter to discuss the critical importance of raising awareness of Satan’s devices of temptation and derailment in our children—and how we can train them to respond biblically. 

Has God been changing the way He saves people throughout history—or has the message always been the same? Were people under the Law saved by keeping the Law—or has it always been grace through faith? If salvation is by grace through faith today, what exactly saved people before the cross?

In this episode of The Postscript, we tackle an often-misunderstood aspect of dispensational theology, the relationship between the dispensations and the gospel itself. From Eden to the Church age, we trace the thread of redemption and confront the claim that Scripture presents multiple ways of salvation. Instead, we uncover a powerful, unifying truth—every dispensation declares the same saving reality: grace through faith. Join us as we bring clarity to progressive revelation, challenge common objections, and show how the finished work of Christ stands at the center of God’s plan in every age.

We are joined by Kale Horvath, a missionary and church planter in Budapest Hungary—a graduate of LFBI—and author of “Brainwashed: Deconstructing the Battle for our Minds”. We are so glad to have him with us to discuss this critical subject.
