Many Evangelical churches suffer from a shallow understanding of church history and theology. However, many Christians today are rediscovering the wisdom of the Historic Creeds and Reformed Confessions and Catechisms. These historic documents, grounded in Scripture, bring clarity to Christian beliefs, foster unity across congregations, and offer depth to personal faith.

In this talk, we cover their biblical foundations, their role through church history, and how they’re still relevant—practically speaking—for pastors, leaders, and families today. No fluff, just real talk about tools that help the church stay rooted.

Dr. Tony Costa discusses several problematic issues with Pope Francis and analyzes the various problems with the Roman Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility.

In this episode, we discuss some of the scandals that Pope Francis has been through including changing views on divorce, universalism, the denial of Hell, being accused of heresy by Catholic theologians and more. We examine the top theological issues with Pope Francis and whether he could be legitimately considered a heretic by both Catholics and Protestants. We also look at reasons why Pope Francis has pushed leftward on many issues and consider whether the Roman Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility holds any weight.

This is an episode we hope will help Protestants and Catholics alike think carefully about these issues and equip them for fruitful conversations.

Tony Costa earned a B.A. and M.A. in Biblical Studies from the University of Toronto and earned his Ph.D in New Testament and Theology from Radboud University in the Netherlands. He is a professor of apologetics at the Toronto Baptist Seminary. He also teaches as an instructor with the University of Toronto in the areas of Gospel Studies and Archaeology of the Bible and the Ancient Near East. Tony is also an ordained Minister of the Gospel. He is the author of 'Worship and the Risen Jesus in the Pauline Letters' and 'Early Christian Creeds and Hymns'. His forthcoming book 'No King but Christ: The Collapse and Bankruptcy of Secular Worldviews' will be released later this year. Tony is married to a wonderful wife, has 3 children, and a grandson.
