This one's for everyone who wants to stop ____, but can't. Fill in the blank yourself. We all have our things. The things that eat at us, tear us down, make us less of ourselves. But somehow - at the same time - they're the things we can't stop.

St. Augustine's story has had a massive influence on my life. I hope the small slice of it you hear today can help you too. For under $10, buy a copy of his spiritual autobiography, Conf...

Have you ever seen a Christian make the sign of the cross? You might think this practice is a weird Catholic thing. But, when you look at the historical and biblical context for it, it looks a lot more like it's just a Christian thing.

In today's episode, we're digging into the roots of the sign of the cross. When did the church start doing this? Why did they start doing it? What does the Bible have to say about the sign of the ...

Jesus prayed for his church to be united in purpose just as him and the Father are united in purpose. When I look around at the church today and see thousands of denominations - it seems like we're failing pretty miserably.

Today, I get to sit down with Greg Thiessen, who teaches History of Christianity among his other awesome roles at Columbia Bible College. We discuss how the united Church of the New Testament split into the g...

    • Can't run to the Gospel of John!

Why not level up the controversy?

Reformed theology (i.e., the entire Bible's teachings) explains same-sex attraction with a cultural relevance and biblical faithfulness that few Christians can articulate these days.

Wait? The Calvinists are culturally relevant?

Yup.

This one gets heated.

If you search for the topic of "Singleness" among Christian podcasts, you'll find a plethora of episodes centred around this idea of the Single Season. Have you heard of that? Singleness is this time to focus on your relationship with God as you get ready for marriage. One problem. That's unbiblical, and actually hurts Christians more than it helps them.

I wish I could say our world is as sexually confused as it has ever been. But it's not. It just looks different nowadays.

From ancient times, people have been living sexual lives far outside our normal experience - polygamy, raping children, harems for rulers. Our culture rarely practices these (although polygamy is on the rise - who knows when pedophilia will become acceptable again). But, our culture uniquely ascribes our ide...

TIMESTAMPS HERE IN SHOW NOTES.

Over the summer we did a series on Calvinism. However, that series was missing serious interaction from beliefs on the other side of the theological spectrum, namely Arminianism. Today, I get to interact with the head of the Biblical Studies department at Columbia Bible College, Jerry Pauls, on this very subject.

This was a fascinating conversation with Jerry, and I couldn't be more excited to shar...
