In this episode we shine a light on a movement in the Church that is taking people's eyes off of Christ – a dangerous theology: Progressive Christianity.

Today, we're embarking on a three part series on “doing church,” so to speak. It's not so much about theology, it's more about church culture.

Why do we often look up to Christian celebrities instead of anonymous servants? And why, when we think about finding a place of service in the local church, do we usually gravitate toward positions that will put us in the spotlight and give us recognition, rather than gravitating toward anonymous, thankless jobs? Today we’re looking […]

Amy Spreeman recently sat down with our good friend Dave Jenkins on his podcast called Contending for the Word to talk about the marks of theological liberalism, or as it’s more commonly known, “Progressive Christianity.” What do Christians need to know about this movement seeping into many churches, and how can we contend for the […]

Cessationism has to do with whether all of the spiritual gifts given by God to Believers that we read about in the New Testament are for Christians today.

Recently, there have been two glaring instances of theologically conservative, Reformed Christians welcoming in false teachers, introducing them to their audiences, and, by doing so, essentially giving them their seal of approval. And they're not the only ones. This kind of thing happens all the time with high profile Christians, parachurch ministries, and churches. We’ll […]

How should a Christian relate to someone in their lives who is obviously living in sexual sin, without appearing to condone this marriage? Thankfully, God does not leave us without answers.

We see these pseudo-Christian events and movements all the time: Asbury, Bethel, the Enneagram, IF:Gathering, ReVoice… and on and on it goes.
