What if the Baptists weren’t just a pragmatic breakaway movement—but a theologically rich tradition born out of deep conviction?

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Matthew Bingham, Associate Professor of Church History at Phoenix Seminary and author of Orthodox Radicals: Baptist Identity in the English Revolution. We talk about the real origins of the Baptist movement, the surprising ways early Baptists saw themselves in relation to the wider Reformed tradition, and what that means for evangelicals today—especially those wrestling with a pull toward higher-church traditions.
