    What If My Child Isn't 'Chosen'? | Unconditional Election

    Week two working through the letters in TULIP.  Unconditional Election flows from the first doctrine of Total Depravity.  If we are empty of righteousness, there is nothing we can hope to add, no amount of faith that could be enough; we can only rejoice in the grace of God.  How does this doctrine apply to marriage and family? What if I am afraid to have children, that they might not be of the elect? How can I be confident in dating and marriage that I marry someone truly a Christian? We take on these questions and more in todays episode, thanks for listening!

    “Thus Pride Stocked Hell with its First Inhabitants” | Pride Month with JC Ryle

    The words of this title were published in 1879. Another pride month is upon us. Lord willing these will soon be a distant memory. The thing is, it is up to us Christians to work toward making it so. We love our neighbors by expressing the fullness of Gods love AND law for them. There are people around us suffocating themselves in sin while "Christians" water down Gods Truth that could set them free. Today we look at some wisdom from CS Lewis and JC Ryle involving pride and the only true Freedom to be entered into through Christ. Thanks for listening!

    This Explains Everything - A Romans 1 Study

    “What is wrong with this world?” After reading Romans chapter one, there is no room left for Christians to beg this question. The suppression of Gods undeniable truth in creation leads to the wrath of God beginning to pour out upon our fellow man.  “Claiming to be wise they became fools” They “exchanged natural relations for those which are contrary to nature” They are “foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless” As once were we, but we were washed, sanctified, justified.

    Is MUTUAL Submission A Thing? - Replay

    Throwback to last years discussion of “mutual submission”! __________________________________________________________ In todays episode, we tackle a widely misunderstood idea in Christian marriage conversations: the concept of “mutual submission.” Often assumed to mean that husband and wife hold identical authority in the relationship, this interpretation is commonly drawn from Ephesians 5:21: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” But is that really what Paul intended? We break down the context of Ephesians 5, focusing on how the structure of the text—and even the way modern Bible translations like the NIV (2011+) have inserted subheadings—can mislead readers. Moving verse 21 into the “Instructions for Christian Households” section has created confusion, especially when the verses that follow clearly outline distinct roles: Wives submitting to husbands Children to parents Servants to masters We aim to restore biblical clarity to this passage by examining its placement within Paul’s broader teaching on the Christian life and household order. If you’ve ever wondered whether Scripture teaches egalitarianism in disguise—or if you’ve wrestled with how to understand submission in marriage—this episode is for you.

    Egalitarian vs. Complementarian (Feminism vs. Christianity?)

    Before next weeks discussion on headship and submission, we have to do some more defining of terms.  Complimentarian and Egalitarian are frequent titles for groups of Christians with regards to interpretation of Gods commands for roles in marriage, church, and culture.  Complementarians hold that God designed men and women in his image, equal in value but differing in roles.  Egalitarians believe that the days of distinguishing between men and women in these venues is from a former era.  Todays episode is a journey through the scriptures most often used to bolster both of these perspectives to determine what is best for a healthy marriage and functional society.  Thanks for listening!
