Fireside Bible Chats
by Zachary Oxendine and Jeremy Oxendine
From 1933 to 1944, FDR addressed the nation in a series of 30 radio conversations that would later be known as the “fireside chats.” These addresses not only served to inform the American public, but they also provided a sense of calm to a nation in turmoil. The goal of this podcast, like its namesake, is to both inform and comfort. In this podcast, we will proclaim the whole counsel of God, starting with the truth that we are sinners in need of a savior, and it is through Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection and faith therein that we are saved and reckoned as justified in the sight of a Holy God.

Communicable Attributes P2
This lesson begins by warning against a minimalist view of God that leaves gaps in preaching and teaching—gaps the culture will gladly fill. When the church stops treating God as “Holy, holy, holy,” it drags Him down from the transcendent to the familiar, and a secular mindset takes root. Once...
-
Communicable Attributes P1
If I knew I could only teach one more time, I would speak on the holiness of God. The modern American church desperately needs grounded teaching here, because theological liberalism has steadily reduced God from a transcendent reality to a malleable concept—acceptable so long as He is not defined...
-

The Clarity of Scripture: God Speaks So We Can Hear
The clarity of Scripture means that the Bible is written so people can truly understand it—but real understanding takes effort, humility, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Both the Westminster and London Baptist Confessions teach that while not every passage is equally easy, the truths needed...
