Can You Lose Your Salvation?
Few questions carry more weight in the life of a believer. For some it is a private fear: I keep failing in the same way. Am I still His? For others it is grief: My son professed Christ for years, and now he wants nothing to do with Him. Was he ever saved? Is he lost now?
Those fears deserve an answer that comes from the text, not from a denominational slogan and not from what we wish were true. So we will state the answer plainly, then test it against every major passage on both sides of the q

The Kinsman Redeemer
I'm not going to go as far as to say this podcast will help you understand the entire arc of the bible, but I will say that it will give you some amazing insight and clarity that will make you want to listen to this podcast and read the supporting material over again to make sure you are grasping the weight of the concepts. I loved producing the podcast because it gave me such a deep sense of confidence in the foundations upon which we as Christians rest. In Luke chapter 4, the devil takes Je

Why Tarriest Thou?
Baptism, the Command, and the Heart “It’s just an outward expression of faith.” Many Christians describe baptism that way, and they usually mean it’s optional. Others go the opposite direction and treat the water as if it saves on its own. Scripture rejects both views. In this episode we look at what the text actually says about baptism. We start with the meaning of the word, then the command Jesus gave, and the fact that he was baptized himself and called it fulfilling all righteousness. Fro

The Bath, The Feet, and the Basin
I apologize in advance if sometimes this podcast seems to veer off a present trajectory but every time I do I deep dive, something sticks that makes me want to go deeper. My friends accuse me of being a walking hyperlink... guilty as charged : ) This came up in our last podcast, so I decided to return here and sit on this passage. Most of us read straight past it. In the upper room, between Peter’s protest and Jesus’ lesson on service, there is one sentence: “He that is washed needeth not save

"IN" Christ - Trying to Grasp the Concept
When I was a boy, raised Catholic, I would go into the confessional and come out a new kid. My mother loved confession day. We were so good, at least until the ability to resist had worn off. The instinct behind that experience is biblical. "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little" (Luke 7:47). Forgiveness received produces love, and love wants to obey. Paul grounds his call to holiness in mercy: "I beseech you therefo

The Spiritual Threat of Abundance - Staying Grounded
Today is the final episode of our A.I. mini-series. It began with a hard question: could AI bring about the end of humanity? We didn’t choose that question as click-bait. The warning comes from the people building these systems. Some have asked whether they mean it, or whether fear simply makes good marketing. After all, nothing gets attention like the end of the world. But the alarm isn’t coming only from the builders. Researchers in AI safety are sounding it too, many of them with nothing t
