    Why God Speaks in Pictures | Al Groves | Westminster Radio #11

    Images shape what we love, what we fear, and what we believe. But how often do we stop to examine their power? In this archival address, Al Groves explores how God uses imagery throughout the Old Testament to reveal himself, communicate truth, and reach the hearts of his people. Moving from the familiar words of Psalm 23 to the images competing for our allegiance, Groves challenges us to bring our imaginations under the authority of Scripture.

    Theology for Real Life w/ Alfred Poirier | Dissecting the Heart (3)

    In this final installment of our three-part series on Dissecting the Heart by David Powlison, Pierce Taylor Hibbs and Alfred Poirier explore Powlison’s conviction that all theology is practical theology. From suffering and the possibility of genuine change to the Psalms, death, and the Beatitudes, they consider how Scripture addresses the questions people actually face, and often redirects us toward the questions we should be asking. At the center of Powlison’s approach is a deeply God-centered vision of the Christian life, in which both our weakness and our strength are understood through communion with Christ.

    Presuppositions and Evidence | J.I. Packer | Westminster Radio #10

    What role should evidence play in presuppositional apologetics? In this archival lecture, J. I. Packer considers the role of evidence in the covenantal approach to apologetics, arguing for their value in serving the work of Christian persuasion while insisting that neither argument nor evidence can bring a sinner to faith apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. Along the way, Packer reflects on Cornelius Van Til, the traditional arguments for God’s existence, and the task of presenting Christianity as both internally coherent and uniquely able to explain the world in which we live.

    Fighting in a Spiritual War w/ Alfred Poirier | Dissecting the Heart (2)

    What does it actually mean to fight a spiritual war? In the second installment of Dissecting the Heart, Pierce Taylor Hibbs and Alfred Poirier explore David Powlison’s approach to spiritual warfare, and why both secular psychology and deliverance ministries can miss the deepest battleground: the human heart. Rather than looking for demons to cast out or psychological explanations that remove human agency, Powlison returns to Scripture’s ordinary but powerful pattern of spiritual warfare: repent, believe, and resist. Along the way, they discuss Satan as a “God mimic,” the absence of spiritual neutrality, the surprising hope found in calling sin what it is, and why sound theology must actually transform the way Christians live. The result is a vision of spiritual warfare that is less sensational than we might expect, but far more pervasive: a daily battle to turn from sin, trust the promises of Christ, and live by faith in the midst of a fallen world.

    The Sovereign God and the Christian Counselor | Jay Adams | Westminster Radio # 9

    What difference should Reformed theology actually make in the counseling room? In this archival lecture, Jay Adams argues that biblical counseling must begin with the sovereignty of God and the sufficiency of his Word. Working through the five points of Calvinism, Adams explores how doctrines such as total depravity, election, particular redemption, effectual calling, and perseverance shape the Christian counselor’s understanding of human nature, genuine change, and the hope of sanctification.

    The Church and a Psychologized Culture w/ Alfred Poirier | Dissecting the Heart (1)

    Modern culture is saturated with the language of psychology. Words like identity, trauma, boundaries, self-esteem, and triggers shape how many people understand themselves, their relationships, and even their suffering. But what happens when those categories begin to replace the Bible's own understanding of the human heart? In the first episode of this three-part series on Dissecting the Heart, a posthumous volume from David Powlison, Pierce Taylor Hibbs sits down with Dr. Alfred Poirier to explore what Powlison called our "psychologized culture." Together they discuss how modern psychology has reshaped the church's assumptions about counseling, why pastors have increasingly ceded soul care to mental health professionals, and how the gospel offers resources that no secular therapeutic model can provide. Along the way, they reflect on Powlison's extraordinary ministry, the recovery of biblical counseling at Westminster, and the church's calling to once again become a place where wounded people find genuine hope in Christ.
