Those Few episodes

  • Movie Deep-Dive: Nefarious | Revealed by Fire | Ep 8

    In today’s Revealed by Fire episode, we discuss the 2023 movie Nefarious. We center on the film’s primary topic of spiritual warfare, noting its similarity to C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters. We also discuss atheism and common spiritual law, the difference between guilt and conviction, the Cross of Christ, and a host of other meaty topics. (Please note this movie is rated R. Before watching, we recommend you listen to the portion of our discussion entitled “Warning about movie and this podcast episode.”)

  • What on Earth is Worship? | Iron Sharpening Iron | Ep 7

    In this conversation with our first-ever Those Few interviewee—Worship Pastor David Freeman—we discuss the purpose of Christian music, our accountability for our words and teaching, and what it means to worship. We talk about the simplicity of Christianity, the raucous music of a ministry for felons, and how to tear down façades in the church. Ultimately, we conclude that worship is much more than singing.

  • Wounded Warrior for Christ | Streams in the Wasteland | Ep 6

    In this Streams in the Wasteland episode, we address the believer who is discouraged in their Christian ministry. We discuss why we get discouraged, the Biblical truth about the contested environment in which we serve, and how we can take courage and continue the good fight. Among other strengthening passages, we remind ourselves that “the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

  • The Fallacy of Self-Sufficiency | Revealed by Fire | Ep 5

    Today we discuss the common phrase “God won't give you more than you can handle.” Using the Word of God as our guide, we determine whether this saying is erroneous or trustworthy. As part of our dialogue, we also discuss the premise of Christianity, the purpose and value of life trials, and martyrdom.
