    Using rudimentary mathematical operations, there are four simple ways to understand and remember basic patterns in the cults.

    God the Son Incarnate - with Dr. Stephen J. Wellum - Part Two

    Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is both truly God and truly man, an indissoluble union of two natures in one Person. This confession was not invented by Greek philosophy, nor by church councils, but is a summation of what the Bible reveals about Jesus. What are the essentials we need to know in communicating this invaluable truth to a world that is rampant with skepticism and individual autonomy? This week on Apologetics Profile we continue our conversation with author, theologian, and professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Dr. Stephen J. Wellum about his 2016 book,  God the Son Incarnate The Doctrine of Christ. From the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary website: Dr. Stephen Wellum is Editor of The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology and Professor of Christian Theology. Wellum came to Southern Seminary from Associated Canadian Theological Schools and Northwest Baptist Theological College and Seminary where he had taught theology since 1996.

    The Son of God Incarnate with Dr. Stephen J. Wellum - Part One

    Who is Jesus? How do we explain the uniqueness of both His divine and human nature in an unbelieving world today? How do Enlightenment and postmodern philosophies influence us and prevent us from seeing what the Bible really says about Him?

Wellum about these and other Christological topics from his 2016 book God the Son Incarnate The Doctrine of Christ.

    God's Mediators - A Biblical Theology of Priesthood with Dr. Andrew S. Malone - Part One

    If your knowledge of the roles and purposes of the Aaronic Priesthood in the Old Testament is a little rusty, or maybe you have a Latter-day Saint friend who has recently told you that they believe Joseph Smith has restored the Aaronic Priesthood and you're not sure what to say in response, episodes of Apologetics Profile this week and next are tailor-made just for you! We sit down with author and theologian Dr. Andrew S. Malone for a helpful and informative chat about his 2017 book God's Mediators - A Biblical Theology of Priesthood. We discuss the nature of the priesthood and how it all points us toward Jesus and His fulfillment of the priesthood as our great High Priest. So break out Leviticus and the Book of Hebrews and spend a few minutes this week with us here on AP as we talk about God's Mediators. Dr. Andrew S. Malone is the author of God’s Mediators: A Biblical Theology of Priesthood and Knowing Jesus in the Old Testament?

    Examining the Mormon Home Curriculum Come, Follow Me with Former Latter-day Saint Casey Brianne - Part Two

    Since 2018, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been publishing teaching curriculum for its members to study at home each week. It's called Come, Follow Me. Every year the curriculum focuses on a specific section of either the Bible or the Mormon scriptures. In 2026, the focus of CFM is the Old Testament. You can see the curriculum for yourself on the LDS Gospel Library App. It's free and available to LDS and the general public alike. This particular week, CFM is focused on several chapters from the Book of Isaiah. This week we continue discussing CFM and some of its teaching on the Book of Isaiah and how that teaching obscures and covers up a lot of what Isaiah is really all about. We'll be talking with former Latter-day Saint Casey Brianne, fiancee of our very own Apologetics Profile host Daniel Ray. Casey was a Latter-day Saint for 16 years, baptized as a young adult convert into the LDS Church at the age of 21.
