The Postscript Show

As a fifth grader, Charlie Kirk surrendered his life to Jesus, confessing his sin and acknowledging his need for a Savior. That decision set him on a path of growth, conviction, and public witness that deeply impacted the youth of our country. His open discourse on campuses and his public presence gave him a platform for the gospel and introduced an entire generation to the name of Jesus Christ. He believed his mission was to confront the sin in our culture and boldly proclaim truth, defend the faith, and call believers to live unashamedly in the world.

Charlie’s ministry and activism were marked by a radical belief that Scripture is not only true but also sufficient to guide every area of life — personal, cultural, and political. He called Christians to stand firm in their identity, resist compromise, and let the Word of God shape their actions. His life, though cut short, serves as a living example of what it means to take Jesus at His word and to spend every ounce of energy for the sake of the gospel and the advancement of God’s kingdom.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and outspoken apologist, was assassinated this week. Over the last few days, we have watched as the nation has divided further along ideological lines. Why did this happen? What does it mean for our country? And what does this situation mean for Christians?

Today on the show, we have invited Brian Hedges, pastor of Heartland Bible Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO, to chat with us about the impact of Kirk’s death and how Christians should respond to this tragedy.

On today’s show, we’re tackling a question that has defined centuries of Christian thought: Did the Church replace Israel? This idea, often called supersessionism or “replacement theology,” touches on God’s covenants, the role of Israel in His plan, and the Church’s identity today. 

It’s also one of the key themes of this year’s Certainty Conference, hosted by First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia, Ohio. The conference will bring together pastors, teachers and Bible students to consider why this question is not just theological but deeply cultural, especially in light of recent events in the world and ongoing debates about Israel. 

To help us navigate this conversation, we are joined by Pastor Troy Stogsdill of First Baptist Church.

In this episode of the Ps+ we discuss the importance an eternal perspective holds on a life lived in the Spirit. 

Whether you're familiar with Augustine or not, chances are you've encountered Calvinism and its core doctrines—especially the idea of unconditional election. Perhaps you have Reformed friends who hold to the belief that God has sovereignly chosen some individuals for salvation and others for damnation, entirely apart from their will. This deterministic view of salvation has become deeply embedded in much of Western Christianity. But what if we could trace this theological development to a specific moment in church history? What if we could say, with confidence, when and how this view was introduced—and argue that it was not part of the original Christian faith?

On today’s show, we take a critical look at one of the most influential figures in Christian history: Augustine of Hippo. We’re joined by Dr. Ken Wilson, Oxford-trained scholar and author of The Foundations of Augustinian Calvinism. In his historical research, Dr. Wilson demonstrates how Augustine’s later theology— particularly his embrace of determinism and unilateral grace — marked a significant departure from the teachings of earlier Church Fathers and laid the foundation for what would become Calvinistic theology.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of children’s ministry and the critical work of establishing kids in their faith. From evangelizing and edifying to equipping young believers for service, the goal is not just to entertain children but to disciple them—to anchor them in God’s Word and prepare them to be faithful members of the body of Christ. With cultural distractions and spiritual opposition on the rise, the urgency to reach children early has never been greater.

To help us unpack this topic, we’re joined by Pastor Craig Warner of First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia. In addition to serving faithfully at his local church, Craig will be one of the instructors for the Children’s Ministry course at LFBI this fall. He brings with him a long resume of ministry, a passion for discipleship, and love for kids.
