    Ep #15 - Women in Church Leadership? Part 2 with Preston Sprinkle

    I continue my review and response to "From Genesis to Junia - An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership" by Preston Sprinkle. In this episode, we cover all the hardest New Testament passages like 1 Corinthians 11:3-12, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, and 1 Timothy 2:12-14 that appear to prohibit women from church leadership. I take the complementarian position, and Preston lands egalitarian so, this should be fun!

    Ep #14 - Women in Church Leadership? A Review & Response to "From Genesis to Junia" by Preston Sprinkle

    Are women allowed to hold positions of authority in the church? Complementarians and Egalitarians have been battling over this subject for centuries. I review and respond to Preston Sprinkle's book "From Genesis to Junia" which concludes that yes, women can hold any church leadership position that a man can. As always, I critique his arguments and respond with a few of my own perspectives. Listen to the full book on Audible.

    Ep #13 - Christianity & Politics? with Gary Hamrick

    Should the church influence politics? What does the Bible have to say about it? What about the separation of church and state? I break down Pastor Gary Hamrick's "Election Sermon" ahead of the 2024 Federal Election in America. Spoiler alert, we disagree on a few things. Check out his full sermon here.

    Ep #12 - Is Calvinism Biblical? A Look @ Eph 1, Acts 13, John 6, Rom 8 & 9

    Calvinism teaches that God chooses those who are saved without any input from human free will. I examine the big 5 Bible passages that are used to defend this view. This is not a full treatment of the subject of course, but more to come in the future! No guests in this episode. If there is a video on Calvinism, Arminianism or Molinism you'd like me to interact with, let let know.

    Ep #11 - Are There Contradictions in the Bible? with Bart Ehrman

    Bart Ehrman has made a living claiming that the Bible is full of contradictions. He enjoys shocking audiences with bold claims to cause listeners to doubt the inspiration of Scripture. In this episode, I interact with his farewell lecture as Bart retires from his professorship at UNC. You can watch his full speech here. Read his "Historical Jesus" course scope here.

    Ep #10 - The Gift of Tongues, Healing & Prophecy? p#2 with Sam Storms

    Do the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12 still continue today? Does God really want us all to speak in tongues and to prophesy? Are there modern day apostles and prophets? I tackle all these questions as I interact with Sam Storms - a charismatic pastor with reformed theology. Check out Sam's full sermon at here.

    Ep #8 - Should Christians Support Israel? with Al Mohler

    Christians and Jews share a common history and, in theory, worship the same God. And yet, both groups have a complicated history and relationship following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this episode, I critique Al Mohler's understanding of why and how Christians should support Israel. To watch Mohler's full video, click here.
