    Who Is the Devil? A Deep Dive on Satan

    Who Is the Devil? A Deep Dive on Satan

    When it comes to the devil, plenty of misconception circulate not only in our culture but in the church as well.

    Some of what we believe about Satan is informed by the Bible. But a lot of it comes from cultural traditions and misinterpretations of what the Bible says.

    On this episode, we do a deep dive on what the Bible says about the devil. Who is he? What should we know about him? And what should Christians do to be prepared against him?

    A Christian Perspective on IVF and Other Reproductive Technologies

    A Christian Perspective on IVF and Other Reproductive Technologies

    A recent Alabama Supreme Court decisions has ignited a passionate discourse about the morality of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and pro-life Christians stand on either side of the debate.

    The case centers on a wrongful death lawsuit that was brought against a fertility clinic in 2020 after the embryos of a couple using the clinic's IVF treatment services were accidentally destroyed. The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that the suit has valid grounding, since an embryo is a human life. Many pro-lifers are hailing the ruling as a victory.

    Nevertheless, the precedent this ruling sets has implication well beyond this specific case, and fertility clinics have discontinued their IVF services for fear of legal exposure. If embryos are to be treated as humans, then fertility clinics could face civil or even criminal charges for destroying them, something that is a regular practice in IVF treatments.

    On this episode, we explore the moral complexities involved with IVF and other reproductive technologies. How can Christian think through these questions in a way that is theologically informed and compassionate toward potential mothers, as well as their future children?

    Cremation, Sainthood, Unforgivable Sin, and Other Questions

    Cremation, Sainthood, Unforgivable Sin, and Other Questions

    From time to time, we receive questions from folks who are trying to figure out an important point of theology or biblical doctrine. And we enjoy getting to offer our thoughts in the context of those personal interactions, whether in-person or online. 

    While we don't always have great answers, we think it's important to faithfully wrestle with the questions we receive (and that we have ourselves). That's part of the heartbeat of our podcast.

    On this episode, we tackle some common questions that we hear, offering our thoughts on a range of theological concerns.

    Here are the questions we focus on:


    Is it wrong for a Christian to get cremated?
    What is a saint? Are only some Christians saints?
    Is suicide the unforgivable sin? 
    What is the “age of accountability”?

    If you have a question you'd like to hear us discuss on a future episode, email us at info@kainosproject.com!

    Religious Scrupulosity: Super Faithful or Mentally Ill?

    Religious Scrupulosity: Super Faithful or Mentally Ill?

    As Christians, we look up to people who pray and read the Bible a lot. But the sad fact is that some of the people we think of as the most devout are actually suffering from a condition known as religious scrupulosity.

    Scrupulosity is a subset of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and is marked by the constant presence of intrusive thoughts about sin, hell, or blasphemy, resulting in compulsive religious activity. It can be extremely debilitating, and a lack of awareness about it can keep us from helping the people in our lives who may be suffering from it.

    On this episode, we explore what religious scrupulosity is, its symptoms, and how it differs from a healthy commitment to religious practices and spiritual disciplines. We also look at some of our heroes in church history through the lens of scrupulosity. Did some of them suffer from extreme anxiety that they compensated for with religious compulsions?

    We also discuss how our approach to theology can trigger or exacerbate feelings of religious scrupulosity, even among people who are relatively healthy. Are there ways we can adjust how we talk about biblical doctrines to better help us become both holy and healthy?

    Is Alistair Begg Wrong About Christians Attending Same-Sex Weddings?

    Is Alistair Begg Wrong About Christians Attending Same-Sex Weddings?

    Alistair Begg has become the subject of considerable criticism in recent weeks after he said that he had advised a woman to attend her grandson's wedding with a trans person.

    While Begg gave the advice with the caveat that the woman was clear that she had not changed her views on marriage and gender, he said that reaching hearts for the gospel would "take risks."

    Amid a bevy of criticism, Begg has stood by his comments. As a result, American Family Radio has pulled his "Truth for Life" program from 1,800 radio stations.

    On this episode, we discuss what exactly Begg said and whether we agree with him.

    We also explore broader questions about the relationship between the church and the LGBTQ+ community. What does it look like to walk in grace and truth when we disagree with the prevailing culture about such fundamental realities?

    Does Paul Contradict Jesus? Progressive Christianity on TikTok

    Does Paul Contradict Jesus? Progressive Christianity on TikTok

    In a recent video that went viral, progressive Christian minister Brandan Robertson claimed that the problem with evangelicalism is that it focuses too much on the teachings of Paul and not enough on the teachings of Jesus.

    Robertson went on to claim that Paul even contradicts Jesus on a number of important points, and that when that happens, we should go with the teachings of Jesus instead of Paul's.

    What Robertson said was not unique. Rather, it is a common claim within the movement of progressive Christianity.

    In this episode, we discuss Robertson's specific claims and why we believe a number of things that he says are misleading or outright false.

    We also explore some of the tenants of progressive Christianity more generally and discuss how tethering ourselves to the historic Christian tradition helps us from coming up with innovative ways to arrive at old heresies.

Excellent perspective.

Thought provoking. Truly an excellent listen.

Can be helpful but...

The hosts seem to try and give a fair and accurate biblical view of the issues they tackle. But the number of times they use "like" in their conversation makes it annoying to listen.

Dale and Tamara Rock!

This is genuinely my favorite podcast. The hosts are so smart and always approach each topic with biblical wisdom and kindness. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this year’s episodes!
