Revelation often gets a bad rap because it's seen as cryptic and confusing. A main area of confusion surrounds the idea of the millennium and what is meant by the length, the timing, and the involvement of Jesus and His followers in it. After a break over the holidays, we're diving back in to tackle a heavy topic from the reformed perspective.

Church structure is not the most common party topic or the most eye-catching podcast conversation, but it impacts a lot more than you realize. There are also a lot more variances across American churches than you realize, too. So, what does it look like in the American Church? What does it look like in the Reformed Church? What did God intend for it to look like? Let's talk about that.

Kingdom is a word we use a lot, both within Christianity and in common culture. When talking about the Kingdom of God, our understanding of it becomes a little fussy. The more you dig, the more differing views you realize are around you. So, what does Jesus mean when he talks about the Kingdom of God?

Scripture talks about covenants frequently and it's a common word in the Christian vocabulary but what does it mean when you add "theology" to the topic? Covenant theology isn't the default view for American Christianity but it is pretty foundational for Reformed Theology. So....what does it all entail? Let's talk about that.

Continuing in our reformed 101 series, today we're talking about a really important but commonly misunderstood pillar of the reformed faith. Salvation. All Christians agree that it's pretty important, but the rub comes when we talk about how it works out practically. From the reformed perspective...let's talk about that.

What happens when you find yourself in the spotlight? Or, what happens when we elevate Christian figures into the public spotlight? Having public influence can be tricky and so can trying to match the energy of modern culture. Today, we're taking a break from our reformed 101 series to talk about some pertinent issues in the Christian public sphere, how Christian content has become what it is, and what we need to refocus on.

As we continue through our Reformed 101 series, we wanted to pull this old episode out of the archives to prime you for our coming predestination follow-up conversation. It's often seen as a roadblock or a sticking point when it comes to the reformed tradition, and we want to help uncover the important truths behind the doctrine of predestination.

It might seem like a simple Sunday routine, but preaching in the Reformed Christian tradition has a lot more to it. Maybe you're used to a very formal, liturgical reading of scripture for your morning word or something that more resembles a Christian TED talk...let's talk about why we approach preaching the way we do in the Christian Reformed Church.

There are many views and assumptions about what a true church looks like, but there is much more to it than our common American Christian traditions. Even down to the question about the difference between a Christian School chapel and a church service. From a reformed point of view, let's take a look at what makes them different and how you can identify a true church from one that may be missing the mark.
