    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 7: Totally Bad

    Does “total depravity” mean everyone is as bad as they could possibly be? Not even close. Gordan Runyan, Tom Miller, and John Train unpack the “T” in TULIP: how sin reaches every part of us, why fallen people cannot rescue themselves, and why salvation must begin with God’s grace. Along the way, they take on free will, common grace, and a familiar objection: if God saves, why preach the gospel? The brothers also answer a listener’s question about baptism and share a Scripture list for studying total depravity and human inability.

    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 6: God’s Covenants

    God keeps His promises. From Adam’s fall to Christ’s perfect obedience, His covenants show how He saves His people. Gordan Runyan, John Train, Tom Miller, and David Morris explain the covenants of redemption, works, and grace. They discuss who belongs to the new covenant and where Baptists and Presbyterians disagree. Then they bring the discussion to your church, your family, and your hope of heaven.

    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 5: Solus Christus

    What does it mean to trust in Christ alone? In Episode 5, Gordan Runyan, David Morris, and Tom Miller discuss Solus Christus: Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. His work of redemption is complete. Starting with 1 Timothy 2:5–6, they explain why our Savior must be truly God, truly man, and without sin. The discussion covers Christ's finished sacrifice, his continued intercession, and the promise received through faith. The speakers examine claims about church authority, Peter's keys, and the priesthood of all believers. They also consider how pastors and other Christians can help people understand Scripture and point them to Christ. The central message is clear: Christ alone is sufficient for our salvation.

    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 4: Is Faith Alone Enough?

    In Episode 4, the Ragtown Reformed Forum takes on sola fide: justification by faith alone. They work through Romans 3–4, Ephesians 2, and James 2, challenging the idea that your good works can add anything to Christ’s finished work. They also explain why “faith without works is dead” belongs in the same conversation. Expect blunt disagreement with Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theology, a look at Abraham and Rahab, and a manure-pile illustration. The crew gets personal about sin after conversion, doubts about salvation, and the comfort of trusting Christ when your own performance gives you nothing to brag about.

    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 3: Sola Scriptura

    Who has the right to bind your conscience—God speaking in Scripture, or popes, councils, living prophets, and religious organizations that claim you need them to understand what God has said? In this episode, the Ragtown Reformed Forum argues that Sola Scriptura demolishes every man-made rival to biblical authority, confronting Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and even Protestant churches whenever they elevate fallible traditions or new revelations above the sufficient Word of God.

    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 2: God Alone

    Four brothers return to the table to ask what it means to have God alone as the foundation of our faith. R. C. Sproul’s book “What Is Reformed Theology?” remains our loose guide.

    Ragtown Reformed Forum Episode 1: God-Centered

    Four brothers come together to discuss theology in a format that would never fly at seminary. In our first installment, we dive into the foundation of Reformed theology, the conviction that it is, and must always be, God-centered. We're taking our episode cues from Dr. Sproul's book, What is Reformed Theology?
