    Women Pastors by Another Name? — A Reasonable Response to Sam Storms

    In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley responds to Sam Storms' article, "A Complementarian Case for Women as Pastors," and argues that the proposal ultimately blurs biblical categories rather than clarifying them.  Bosley contends that Scripture consistently links the work and title of pastor to the office of elder and that attempts to apply the title pastor to women—even while affirming male eldership—create unnecessary confusion. Examining key passages such as Acts 20, 1 Peter 5, Ephesians 4, and Titus 2, he argues that the New Testament provides no warrant for expanding the pastoral office beyond the qualifications God has established.  While affirming the vital teaching ministry of women in the church, Bosley maintains that faithfulness requires preserving the biblical distinctions God has given rather than redefining them to accommodate modern cultural expectations. This episode challenges listeners to let Scripture set the terms for church leadership and ministry.

    The Problem with Anti-Calvinism- A Reasoned Response to Leighton Flowers

    In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley evaluates common anti-Calvinist arguments and explains why they ultimately fail to persuade when measured against the teaching of Scripture. Bosley argues that these objections often rest on an elevated view of human autonomy and a misunderstanding of God’s sovereignty and love. When Scripture is allowed to speak on its own terms—especially regarding God’s will, His decree, and man’s relationship to Him—the doctrines of grace emerge with clarity. This episode challenges listeners to examine the Bible carefully and honestly, contending that a faithful reading of the text leads to a consistent and compelling case for Calvinism.

    "Boundaries” Is Not the Gospel — A Reasoned Response to Dr. Henry Cloud

    In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley responds to the teaching of Henry Cloud, author of Boundaries, and examines how modern therapeutic approaches to personal autonomy can conflict with the authority of Scripture. Bosley argues that the central issue is ownership. Scripture teaches that we are not our own—we belong to God—and are therefore called to live according to His commands, not self-defined limits or preferences. When autonomy becomes the guiding principle, it subtly replaces obedience and undermines a biblical understanding of the Christian life. Drawing from God’s Word, this episode calls listeners to reject self-centered thinking and instead pursue humility, unity, and sacrificial love.

    That’s Not Christianity — Responding Again to James Talarico

    In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley refutes the claims of self-identified Christian progressive James Talarico and argues that his theology and proposed policies cannot meaningfully be called Christian. Bosley contends that the central issue is not personal identification or academic affiliation, but authority. When the sufficiency of Scripture is rejected and replaced with personal tradition, cultural ideology, or political theory, the foundation of historic Protestant Christianity is abandoned. A system built on shifting human ideas cannot provide the sure footing that only God’s Word supplies. This episode calls listeners to examine modern progressive theology in light of Scripture’s authority and to remember that Christian identity is defined not by label, but by submission to the revealed Word of God.

    Is the Lord’s Supper “Just a Symbol”? — A Reasoned Response

    In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley responds to the common assumption that Baptists hold a merely symbolic or memorial view of the Lord’s Supper and explains why this claim misunderstands both Baptist theology and the broader Reformed tradition.   Bosley argues that the Lord’s Supper—like baptism—is an effectual means of grace. While it does not justify, it truly sanctifies God’s people through Christ’s real, spiritual presence with His church. The Supper is not a bare remembrance, but a divinely appointed act of worship through which believers receive the benefits of Christ’s death by faith.   Bosley calls listeners to recover a richer view of the Lord’s Table—not as casual ritual or empty symbol, but as a powerful, joyful participation in Christ until He returns. As Charles Spurgeon observed, the moments we are nearest to heaven are often those spent at the Lord’s Table.

    Paedocommunion Fails Scripture - A Reasoned Response to Toby Sumpter

    In this episode of A Reasoned Response, Robert Bosley evaluates the case for paedocommunion—the practice of admitting young children to the Lord’s Table on the basis of covenant membership—and explains why it ultimately fails under careful biblical scrutiny. Bosley argues that the central issue is not whether children may one day be capable of faith, self-examination, or discernment, but whether these realities are presently evident in the heart and life of the participant. Scripture consistently ties worthy participation in the Lord’s Supper to repentance, conscious faith in Christ, and the ability to examine oneself—requirements that cannot ordinarily be demonstrated by young children. While paedocommunion may appear attractive for emotional or covenantal reasons, Bosley explains why it does not satisfy the biblical criteria governing the Supper. This episode calls listeners to evaluate the practice not by sentiment or theological inference, but by submission to the clear teaching of Scripture.

    Is Eternal Punishment Unjust? - A Reasoned Response to Kirk Cameron

    In this episode of A Reasoned Response, Robert Bosley addresses the appeal of annihilationism—the belief that the wicked are eventually destroyed rather than eternally punished—and explains why it ultimately fails both logically and biblically. Bosley argues that annihilationism rests on a flawed assumption: that sinners somehow stop sinning once they die. Scripture, however, presents the wicked in hell as unchanged in nature—still hating God, still rebelling against Him, and therefore still deserving of punishment. Because the sinner’s rebellion continues, the measure of guilt is never exhausted. While eternal conscious torment is difficult to contemplate, Bosley explains why it alone accounts for God’s justice, the ongoing nature of sin, and the biblical portrayal of judgment. This episode calls listeners to submit their understanding of hell not to emotional comfort, but to the coherence and authority of God’s revealed truth.

    Should Christians Celebrate Christmas? A Reasoned Response on Christian Liberty

    In this special episode of A Reasoned Response, Robert Bosley addresses a recurring point of tension among Christians: whether believers should celebrate Christmas at all. Rather than treating the issue as a litmus test of faithfulness, Bosley frames it as a matter of Christian liberty that must be handled with love, humility, and a Christ-centered focus. He warns those who celebrate Christmas against allowing the day to drift into sentimentality, materialism, and distraction from the incarnation of Christ. At the same time, he cautions those who abstain from celebrating against pride, judgment, and looking down on fellow believers who observe the day unto the Lord. The real question, Bosley argues, is not whether Christmas is celebrated, but whether Christ is honored—both in how the day is approached and in how Christians treat one another. This episode calls believers to guard their consciences, honor Christ, and pursue unity even amid disagreement.
