    The Truth Game: The Only Game the Church Should Play | S2 E9

    There’s only one game in town for Bible-believing pastors—the truth game. While faithful pastors happily reject pragmatism, relativism, standpoint epistemology, and the like, the modern world’s war on truth has devastating effects in the church. This week, the profs discuss the nature of objective truth and how pastors can stand as men of conviction. SKIP AHEAD. (00:00) Coming Up… (00:32) What Is Truth, Today?

    In the Mood for Love | S2 E7

    Liberals pervert it. Conservatives won’t talk about it. It’s no surprise that many evangelicals can’t answer the question, “What is love?” This week, the profs discuss “feeling loved,” the relationship between God’s love and wrath, gospel-centered pitfalls, and much more.

    Third Way Wars: There Has to be a Better Way | S2 E6

    Jesus isn't the happy medium between the culture's left/right impulses. “Third Way” thinking, while often well-intended, boasts a Christ constrained by the cultural moment and a gospel that seeks to appease everyone. This week, the profs discuss Third Way (ism), cultural postures, the Unconverted Right, the offense of the gospel, and much more — Welcome to the Third Way Wars.

    Where Have All the Pastors Gone? Making Men for Ministry | S2 E5

    How exactly do men get into ministry? Some churches operate as if pastors are manufactured, packaged, and shipped from seminaries, eager to answer their church’s latest job posting. This week, we discuss how faithful men are made for ministry, the challenges churches face in finding good help, and the pastor’s role in raising and training the next pastoral crop.

    No one accepts the call of the pastoral office thinking, “One day I’m going to tap out.” Every pastor wants to finish well, completing his ministry with joy, fruitfulness, and a lasting legacy. This week, the profs discuss the challenges of complacency, entitlement, drift, and more that lead to pastors failing to finish well.  Want to help us reach more pastors and churches?
