Episode 18 - On Embryonic Adoption
Adoption is one of the most beautiful pictures we see in Scripture. It is also a testimony of God's living grace when we see it portrayed on this side of immortality. We have seen this up close again and again. But what exactly is embryonic adoption? It almost seems like a science fiction novel...

Episode 17 - On The Sufficiency and Clarity of Scripture and Historical Theology
We recently lived through a period where the sufficiency and clarity of Scripture was attacked. Perhaps not doctrinally, but subtly and perniciously. Lived experiences were treated as infallible and Scripture was thrown by the wayside. We were taught to always use Scripture as our guiding light,...

-
Episode 14 - On Faith And Reason Coupled With Grace and Logic
Is there a biblical compatibility between faith and reason? Man, in his quest to free himself from God has in the past employed reason autonomous from God and it has ended in disaster. However, does that mean all Christians should completely abandon this faculty? In this episode, we will explore...

Episode 13 - On The Greater Than Solomon
Charles Spurgeon once stated: "OUR first thought is that no mere man would have said this concerning himself unless he had been altogether eaten up with vanity; for Solomon was among the Jews the very ideal of greatness and wisdom. It would be an instance of the utmost self-conceit if any mere…

BONUS EPISODE - On Deconstructionism

Episode 9 - On Human Dignity, The Imago Dei, And Social Media
What is it exactly about mankind that sets us apart from animals? Is it our intellect? Our ability to reason? The passions that we share? What if an advanced alien race descended to Earth? Would that event shake your faith? I submit to you that what sets us apart is that we are all made in the...

BONUS EPISODE - On An Anecdotal History Of Berean Community Church
When a church is tiny, the retelling of the history of the church happens organically and easily permeates throughout the entire church. However, as a church grows, that kind of organic retelling becomes lost by virtue of the size of the church. At the same time, the need to remember God's grace...

Episode 8 - On Marxism Chapter 2
As we continue on with Marxism, let me ask you a question. Did Karl Marx ever intend to embed his ideology within Christianity? If so, where’s the proof? Moreover, it’s well noted that Karl Marx and Charles Spurgeon occupied the same London around roughly the same time. Did Charles Spurgeon have...

Episode 7 - On Marxism Chapter 1
Democratic Socialism. Socialism. Karl Marx. Marxism. Communism. You've heard these words a ton recently and will continue to do so. However, what do they exactly mean? Where did these theories originate? Are they confined solely to economics? Do they tread upon reality and by extension morality?...

Episode 6 - On Contributory Negligence

Episode 5 - On Social Justice Chapter 1
Social Justice. This term is thrown everywhere, but what exactly does it mean? Is there proof that this theory has saturated academia and by extension culture? How can we break down this term unambiguously? What is a truthful way to consider all its implications? This episode is entitled "On…

Episode 4 - On Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory. Until recently, very few had heard of the actual academic term. Now, it has caused quite the stir not only in academia, but in the broader context of the culture and the church.
