In this episode, Ben Wheaton exposes my ignorance about Gaul (basically France) in the sixth century. So I learned a lot. And I hope you do too!

In this conversation, Benjamin and I talk about John Wycliffe (d. 1384).

His followers survived up to and participated in the English Reformation (16 ce.). To read his pastor treatises, see Benjamin's new edited work here: https://davenantinstitute.org/product/beingapastor-wycliffe/.

In this episode, I talk with Pastor Mark Jones about the puritans as well as Stephen Charnock. Jones is publishing a new edition of Charnock's The Existence and Attributes of God with Crossway. So it was great to be able to talk to him about that project and Charnock himself! But the conversation is much broader than that. We talk about the Puritans in general, their love of learning, and how we have forgotten that today, becoming parochial in our writing and reading.

In this conversation, Craig Carter and I talk about classical theism and angels! We cover a lot of ground. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Here is a link to Dr. Carter's new book.

In this conversation, I speak with Adonis Vidu on his new book on inseparable operations. This key doctrine describes how the Father, Son, and Spirit work inseparably in their external works.

In this episode, I speak with Leviticus scholar Jerry Shepherd about the meaning of that biblical book. Here is the link to the book.

In this episode, Kristopher Kinsinger talks about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Afterwards, he, myself and Chad Graham discuss the topic.

Darby, Owen's influence on John Locke and classical liberalism, his view on the justice of God and the atonement, and most interestingly about Owen's view of werewolves and vampires. Yep, he wrote on vampires and werewolves. If you want to learn more, buy Gribben's new introduction to John Owen published by Crossway. He also has an academic introduction to Owen published by OUP.

I talk about both of these things and explain what that means. I am looking forward to more conversations and more thinking in public as the year goes on!

In this episode, Gavin Ortlund and I talk about Anselm of Canterbury's pursuit of joy and Augustine of Hippo's doctrine of creation. You will not want to miss this one. Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai in Ojai, California.

In this episode, Matt Emerson and I talk about baptist renewal, eternal generation, and the descent of Christ to the dead.

In this episode, Paul Maxwell and I talk about his work on trauma and reformed theology. He argues that reformed theology conceptually teaches good and true dogma but that the individual experience of this theology among those who have experienced trauma needs to be considered. Maximal control and overly negative views of human nature can affect some people in unhelpful ways. One of the most exciting parts about hosting a podcast like this is that I can learn from those with whom I disagree. Here, that is partially the case. But I learned more about reformed thinking and trauma and was challenged to think self-reflectively. I hope the same thing is true for you too when you hear Paul speak. Paul Maxwell is a theologian from Hyde Park, New York. He has his BA in biblical languages from Moody Bible Institute, his M Div from Westminster Theological Seminary, and his PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he studied under Kevin Vanhoozer. Paul is currently a marketing coordinator for a SaaS company in the financial technology sector.

Emeritus Professor Stan Fowler of Heritage Seminary talks with me about baptism in the Baptist tradition and especially its sacramental character. I think you will find this talk fascinating and perhaps eye-opening. Baptism, argues Professor Fowler, is sacramental. Before you jump to conclusions about what that might mean, first listen to the conversation.

In this episode, Coleman Ford and I talk about Augustine and Friendship. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
