A Christian might consider this insulting: "You believe foolish things." But did you know that the Bible itself has "foolishness" as a description of its own message?  It is truly no badge of shame to believe the Gospel of Foolishness when we consider the alternative. Listen in as Sean and the two Zach's pull apart this foolish message and why it is called that in the pages of scripture.

There is a problem to be sure. Marian dogma according to the Catholic faith has hair raising implications for Jesus' sufficiency to save and maintain our salvation. Was Mary "immaculately conceived?" Did she also suffer for our sins? Is she currently mediating for sinners? Was her body assumed into heaven? The answers to these questions and more have serious implications for the gospel. 

As Reformation month comes to a close and Christmas season is soon upon us, we ask the question: Does the Catholic view of Mary reconcile with Biblical teaching on who Mary was and the gospel the Bible presents?

Believe it or not, one can be a godly Christian and yet still disagree on the timing of baptism. For our Baptist hosts, they remain staunchly holding to the belief that scripture teaches only those who have professed faith in Christ should be baptized. But why do other godly Christians believe differently? Enter Pastor Brian Janssen for his third interview. As we relate our disagreements, it is important to know what the other side believes and why on the topic. As Pastor Brian explains his position and challenges the believer's baptism position, you may be surprised at what he says. May these challenges cause us to go back to scripture to reform our views on God's truth. 

For Reformation Month, may we be "semper reformanda," always reforming.

What separates true Christianity from something else? What separates Christian denominations? Do they matter? Should there be separation and does that always mean that Christians aren't unified? These are questions that have stumped many Christians. . Though no one has by any means figured these things out perfectly, there are some things we can know for sure. Listen in as your hosts give these questions the old college try

We once again engage in another scriptural sparring session where Sean and Zac clash their swords together to get at the truth of scripture. The topic on the table: Do the commands in the Old Testament Law have direct bearing on the life of the Christian? If so, how much of it does? All of it? If not, can we just do anything we want in Christ?

It has become a topic of contention and debate over the past century. What translation of the Bible do you use? Is the King James the only translation worthy of your personal reading and study? What do we do with all of these other English translations out there? How do we deal with the often unkind treatment brought by those who contend for King James Onlyism? Mark Ward, Author and YouTuber, has written a book and dedicated a YouTube channel to addressing these issues. In this Interview, Sean and Patke talk with Mark on how to speak with grace and truth to those connected with this movement. Listen in and be blessed.

Not a very exciting topic for most people: The wrath of God. In truth, this is not something God is zealous to express (Ezekiel 33:11). Yet it is important to note that God will bring His wrath for the long term good of a society that is deeply evil. As our hosts delve into the topic, you may be surprised to note the fullness of what scripture says concerning God and His wrath.

There are those who would defend a "cheap grace" gospel by claiming anything else is salvation by human merit through works. In this episode, Sean and the two Zachs explain why repentance is NOT a work that somehow gains God's favor and why it is an essential characteristic of gospel preaching and Christian conversion. Listen in and be challenged and blessed with the details.

None of us live in a vacuum. That is not a statement on the nature of our dwelling places but on the nature of our existence itself. Each one of us came into history at a certain point and prior to our personal existence, there was history worthy to be remembered. Join Sean and Patke as they interview Jake Stone: historian and host of the Generally Particular Podcast. As they engage in their own denomination's history, you might be challenged to think through your own history as well.
