    The Need for Humility in the Church

    Too often in American Evangelicalism we treat the church as another commodity to be shopped for. We look for the church that fits my desires and then leave if it no longer serves me how I want it to. But the church isn't for you, at least not in the sense that we have made it to be. We are sinners in need of spiritual nourishment, so let's remind ourselves that the Church is Christ's!

    Why I am Catholic Part 2

    Why I am Catholic - Part 1

    Pastor Josh begins a multi-part episode on why Christians should view themselves as Catholic without being Roman Catholic. The Reformers never viewed themselves as departing from the Catholic faith, but they were attempting to return to the Catholic Faith seen in the Church Fathers, the Ecumenical Councils, and under the authority of Scripture. We believe in one catholic and apostolic church!

    Did the EPC just become affirming?

    This past week the Evangelical Presbyterian Church held their 46th General Assembly, and things got tense. Many churches joined the EPC from the PCUSA in order to retreat from affirming theology in regards to homosexuality and ordination. Should men who experience same sex attraction be eligible for ordination? Or should there be a blanket barring of those who experience same sex attraction from ordained ministry and leadership in the church? That is what we will discuss today along with other issues discussed at General Assembly.

    Introduction to the Agora Podcast

    I've decided to start a podcast as an outlet to share my thoughts on the world through the lens of a pastor and student of theology, philosophy, and history. My goal is to be a pastor-theologian, one who dedicates their life to making theology accessible at the average Christian, and this is one step towards achieving that goal.
