This week on the podcast I geek out about Bible translations with Josh Barzon. Josh just recently published his latest book, The History of English Bible Translations: A Simple Guide to the Story and Impact of English Bible Translations from the 14th Century to the 21st Century. This book is fascinating! But the best part is that it is short, accessible and easy to understand. If you've ever wondered about why there are so many...
This week we continue our look at the Apostles Creed by exploring the statement, "I Believe." Dr. Phil Allen joins us to unpack this seemingly unimportant phrase. Yet, by the end of the episode, I think Dr. Phil will have you convinced there is a lot of meaning in these two words.

We start this series with quite the heavy hitter, the one and only Dr. Carl Trueman.

Across the country and even right here in Rock County, WI - new data centers are popping up and with them come quite a bit of controversy. Its tempting to dismiss these arguments as just the typical "not in my backyard" conjecture, but these are real people in real communities. They have a voice. Among those opposing this particular data center are my friends Pastor Ray Jewell and Janesville City Council candidate Reese Wood. L...
This week it was a thrill to have David Varnam on the program. David is running for Lieutenant Governor here in Wisconsin. You will want to hear his story of how he went from a theology major in Bible college in California to the mayor of a rural town in Wisconsin and along the way bumps into James Dobson! He's a great candidate with a great message.

Today's episode was recorded on National Adoption Day while waiting in the drive through line at Chick-Fil-A! I wasn't really planning on an episode this week as I am struggling with a really bad man cold, but my son Davontae really wanted to be a guest on the podcast. So, you'll hear a lot of background noise, but you'll also hear a fourth grade understanding of the gospel and a few thoughts about adoption sprinkled into Davonta...

This week's episode was recorded at the Stateline Youth Conference last week. As I manned my booth, right across from me was cartoonist Paul Cox of Reftoons, a fascinating ministry.

His website tells us that their goal is to "preserve the legacy of theologians of the past by producing humorous and thought-provoking comic strips that...

Yesterday, millions of people came out to thousands of No Kings protests across the nation. I attended one myself and have been asked by several people, why?

What would it be like to preach from behind the same pulpit of a great preacher in Christian history? I have been privileged to preach from stages once held by D.L. Moody and Billy Sunday. But this week's podcast describes a moment greater than that. Take a look back when Charles Spurgeon, the great Prince of Preachers, took to the pulpit once held by the great theologian John Calvin. In his first book, Pastor Byron Varvel give...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
