Must we keep the Old Testament Sabbath? If not, why not? If so, does it still hold the same meaning? Are all "oughts" or commands in Scripture considered laws? In this episode, we get into it on whether the church should recognize the Lord's Day as a day set apart for rest. This question touches on practical questions regarding gathering and, ultimately, the gospel.

Children, Baptism, & Conversion

Aug 26 2024 59 mins  
The question isn't simply about the right age to baptize children; it's deeper than that. The real inquiry is, "What is baptism?" and "When is the appropriate time to baptize anyone?" Churches must thoughtfully reflect on the biblical teachings and implications of baptism. Faithful teaching on this ordinance is especially critical in light of a decades-long decline in doctrinal car

The Meaning of Baptism in Acts

Jun 03 2024 72 mins  
How are we to take the baptisms in the book of Acts? Should draw our doctrine and practices of baptism from the book of Acts? It seems that Luke has a fairly narrow purpose for writing the book of Acts. He records the Apostles witness of Jesus being the Christ. Baptisms in Acts serve as a testimony that the gospel of grace through Christ is should preached and received among people

The Apostasy Baked into Deconstruction

May 20 2024 77 mins  
The term "deconstruction" has taken on a broad definition. Whatever its roots, it has become a catch all phrase for undoing the faith and religion handed down to you. What often goes unnoticed is that apostasy is baked into the culture of deconstruction. Questions are good! In fact, we typically should be asking more questions as we grow in understanding our faith. But we ought to

Help We Didn't Know We Needed

Apr 29 2024 66 mins  
You need help. We all need help. We need it in ways we do not even understand, especially as Americans. Christ is our help from heaven. The doctrine of his incarnation and suffering means he is our help through his death and resurrection, now, and forever. In this episode we dip our toes into the waters of deconstruction as well. Plus, Michael berates Nathan for the sin of enjoying
