The Study Boys

FLAME and Lex Lutheran are back with Episode #12 of The Study Boys Podcast!
In this one, we sit down with the Extra Nos Academy Collective to react to a Fighting for the Faith episode featuring Pastor Chris Rosebrough, tackling the question: What is revival—and are we in one right now? Here is the full video by Pastor Rosebrough https://youtu.be/fJHPrNGN6fI?si=HlD7k4IIEOCeWaJt

We take a close look at the 2023 Asbury Revival, exploring whether it represents a genuine move of the Holy Spirit or emotional enthusiasm without biblical grounding. Through the lens of Law & Gospel, Word & Sacrament, and Christ-centered theology, we unpack what true revival looks like according to Scripture—not cultural hype.

Join the conversation as we think critically, biblically, and confessionally about revival, the Holy Spirit’s work, and the modern church’s longing for renewal.

In this episode (11), The Study Boys and the entire Extra Nos Music Collective react to Forrest Frank's recent decision to forgo attending the Dove Awards. Forrest says he doesn't feel worthy of the accolades and declined to show up. We ask: Is that genuine humility or misplaced piety? Could it reflect deeper confusion about vocation, identity, and Christian freedom?

We also talk about the pressures of the music industry, what the Bible says about honoring others, and how a Lutheran understanding of vocation can help artists navigate these complex waters. Whether you're an artist, fan, or thinker, this conversation will challenge how you view platforms, praise, and public witness.

🎙️ Episode 10 — The Bible Is Not Enough Says T.D. Jakes and Priscilla Shirer

In this episode of The Study Boys, we unpack a growing problem in modern Christianity—trusting “another word” outside of God’s Word. From popular conference teachings to viral sermon clips, we’re seeing a trend where human impressions, personal revelations, and “fresh words” are treated as equal—or even superior—to Holy Scripture.

We explore why that’s dangerous, how it undermines the sufficiency of God’s Word, and what it reveals about our view of the Bible’s authority. The conversation gets real, biblical, and unapologetically confessional.

We also react to Pastor Chris Rosborough from  @Fighting4theFaith 's reaction video to Priscilla Shirer. It is titled: "F4F Hearing the Voice of God Part 2." Here is the full episode of it: https://youtu.be/d_ehhsYF8NA?si=rtTu8t5iY_3GPvEk

📖 “All Scripture is breathed out by God…” (2 Tim. 3:16–17)

In this episode of The Study Boys, FLAME and Lex Lutheran dive into Marvin Winans’ viral comment that a $1,235 offering “wasn’t enough” to give to the church.  They unpack what’s behind statements like that — exploring questions about generosity, stewardship, pastoral responsibility, and the tension between faith and finances.

Is giving about grace or guilt? Worship or works? The boys dig into what Scripture actually teaches about giving, contentment, and the heart of worship — all while keeping it honest, humorous, and rooted in sound theology.

In this next episode (#8) of The Study Boys, FLAME and Lex Lutheran dive into a conversation that unfolded on Den of Kings—Kirk Franklin’s show—where NLE The Great, Kirk Franklin, KevOnStage, Ray J, and Dr. Jay Barnett discuss mental health among men, particularly Black men.

FLAME and Lex Lutheran explore how seasoned Christian voices could have better instructed NLE The Great in his confusion concerning the nature of the Godhead, salvation, and the person of Christ. They highlight a crucial lesson: the need for Christian influencers and artists to be firmly rooted in historical theology and ready to answer questions about the faith. It’s about turning missed opportunities into moments of genuine guidance rather than simply telling someone to “read the Bible again.” This episode offers a broad discussion on the Trinity, salvation, and the true nature of Christ Jesus our Lord—a call to bring back solid theological mentoring.

⚖️ Two extremes. One Gospel.
FLAME and Lex Lutheran dive into legalism vs. lawlessness, reacting to a video on Chandler Moore’s new musical shift and Johnny Chang’s commentary on the Lord’s Prayer and sin.

Ruslan of Bless God Studios asks if Protestant Communion is too casual. Lex Lutheran and FLAME respond with a deeper dive into the Eucharist: Scripture, history, and theology on the Lord's Supper—where Christ gives His true body and blood for you.

Religion vs. Relationship?A False Choice (S1E5)
Lex Lutheran and FLAME react to Pastor Jonathan Fisk and dig into the popular slogan, “Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.” We show why that either/or frame is unhealthy and unbiblical—and how the Gospel gives us a better both/and: a living relationship with Christ within the religion He actually gives His Church (Word and Sacrament, confession and creed, prayer and community). Instead of pitting doctrine against devotion, or church practices against personal faith, we trace how Scripture and the historic Church hold these together for our comfort and growth.

The Study Boys Season 3, Episode 4:

This week Lex Lutheran and FLAME react to a video featuring Pastor Brian Wolfmueller and Andrew Packer, weighing in on their take about Christian influencers speaking as voices of authority without formal Bible or theological training. We examine what Scripture, Church history, and faithful teaching say about authority, responsibility, and discernment in a digital age.

The Study Boys Season 3, Episode 3: This week we dive into a critical discussion of Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell’s baptistic view of baptism, weighing it against the historic teaching of the Church. From the Nicene Creed to passages like 1 Peter 3:21–22, Acts 22:16, Mark 16:16, and Acts 2:38, we explore how the Scriptures and tradition speak with clarity about baptism’s saving work.
