Now more than ever it is important for Believers to understand their faith. We want to dig deeper into the Word and into our culture. It is time to make a stand for the Truth!
The Rooted in Logos podcast is a true gem in the world of religious podcasts. It is evident that the hosts possess a deep knowledge of Scripture and have a genuine desire to share the truth with their listeners.

It is refreshing to hear such well-informed discussions on these topics, as it allows for a greater understanding of reformed theology and its implications.
As for drawbacks, there are very few negative aspects to point out about The Rooted in Logos podcast. However, one potential improvement could be the inclusion of guest speakers or interviews with experts in relevant fields. This would add an additional layer of depth and variety to the content while still maintaining the authenticity and knowledge that the hosts bring.
In conclusion, The Rooted in Logos podcast is truly exceptional. It offers thoughtful insights into scripture, theology, and Christian living while remaining relatable and humorous.

What if the most popular religion in America isn't Christianity, Islam, or atheism?What if it's the worship of self?In this episode of Rooted in Logos, Brad examines the growing belief that truth, identity, and morality should be determined by the individual rather than by God. From the Garden of Eden to modern slogans like "follow your heart" and "live your truth," the temptation remains the same: to become our own authority.Drawing from Scripture, culture, and personal experience, this episode explores the origins of self-rule, the promises it makes, and the consequences it produces. You'll hear how the rebellion of Lucifer, the fall of Adam and Eve, and the temptation of Christ all point to the same fundamental question:Who gets the final say—God or me?Topics include:The rise of expressive individualismThe dangers of "live your truth" cultureWhy personal autonomy has become a modern idolThe connection between Genesis 3 and today's cultural momentHow Jesus responded to the temptation of self-ruleWhy true freedom is found in submission to God, not independence from HimWhether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode challenges one of the most influential assumptions of our time and asks a simple but profound question:Will we trust God to define reality, or will we attempt to define it ourselves?Scripture References:Genesis 3, Matthew 4, Judges 21:25, Jeremiah 17:9, Romans 1, and others.Connect with Rooted in Logos:Follow, rate, and share the podcast to help others engage thoughtfully with Scripture, theology, and culture from a biblical worldview.

The conversation explores the rise of deconstruction, the process of deconstruction, reasons for leaving Christianity, public examples of deconstruction, the role of doubt and unbelief, the question of authority, and healthy reconstruction. It emphasizes the importance of truth, the authority of Christ, and the distinction between healthy and unhealthy deconstruction.TakeawaysDeconstruction is a process that challenges and dismantles falsehood, legalism, and abuse, with the goal of building a life anchored in Christ.The ultimate question in deconstruction is about authority—who gets the final say? This leads to a deeper exploration of the role of doubt, the search for truth, and the reconstruction of faith anchored in Christ.Chapters00:00 The Rise of Deconstruction11:42 Reasons for Leaving Christianity18:12 Public Examples of Deconstruction28:39 The Role of Doubt and Unbelief35:30 The Question of Authority46:08 Healthy Reconstruction

It delves into the challenges and preferences faced within the church, the importance of staying and fighting for the church's health, and the significance of prayer, biblical confrontation, and contending for the faith. It also addresses reasons to leave, such as spiritual abuse, unrepentant sin, gospel compromise, unaccountable leadership, and the inability to grow spiritually.

The conversation explores the intersection of Christianity and politics, emphasizing the moral and theological implications of political engagement. It delves into the role of Christians in shaping culture, the impact of secularism, the relationship between Christianity and national identity, and the church's mission in the midst of political and cultural challenges.TakeawaysChristianity and politics are inherently intertwined, as politics deals with questions of morality, justice, law, truth, authority, family, life, sexuality, education, freedom, and human nature.The church's mission is to make disciples and proclaim the gospel, engaging in politics faithfully while remembering that ultimate hope is found in Christ, not in political power.Chapters00:00 The Intersection of Christianity and Politics13:08 The Myth of Neutrality and the Influence of Worldview on Culture19:46 Jesus' Engagement with Power and Authority40:13 Christian Nationalism and the Role of the Church48:53 Engaging Politics Faithfully and the Church's Mission

In this episode of Rooted in Logos, we take a deeper look at one of the most important issues facing the modern church: biblical interpretation.What happens when culture begins shaping how Christians read Scripture? What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis? And how can the same Bible be used to support radically different conclusions?We discuss:exegesis vs. eisegesishermeneutics and why context mattersScripture interpreting Scripturethe unity of the Bible across 66 books, 40 authors, and 1,500 yearscommon verses taken out of context, including Philippians 4:13, Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 46:10, and John 10:10how progressive Christianity often reframes Scripture through modern cultural assumptionsWe also explore why church history matters, why isolated proof texts are dangerous, and why faithful Christians must approach the Word with humility rather than using it to validate what we already want to believe.Because the question is not simply whether we read the Bible.The question is whether we allow the Bible to read us.Subscribe and share with someone who wants deeper roots and a stronger understanding of Scripture.

In this episode of Rooted in Logos, we take a closer look at the rise of progressive Christianity through the lens of public voices like James Talarico.Why does this version of Christianity resonate with so many people? And more importantly—does it align with what Scripture actually teaches?We examine several common claims, including:that the Bible is silent on abortion and homosexualitythat these issues were made “political” by the religious rightthat Scripture supports modern ideas about identity, justice, and even economic systemsWe also look at the broader cultural moment shaping these conversations—how language is being redefined, why objective truth is often rejected, and how compassion is sometimes separated from biblical conviction.This episode is not about attacking individuals. It's about thinking carefully, testing ideas, and returning to a foundation rooted in truth.If you've ever heard something that sounded Christian but weren't sure if it actually was—this conversation is for you.Subscribe and share with someone who wants to think clearly and stay grounded.

After time away, Rooted in Logos returns with a new direction and renewed purpose.In this relaunch episode, I share why the podcast originally began during the COVID era, why the need for biblical clarity feels even greater today, and what it truly means to be rooted in Christ in a culture full of confusion, noise, and competing truth claims.We discuss objective truth, why definitions matter, the rise of progressive Christianity, cultural issues shaping the church, and the importance of knowing what you believe—and why you believe it.I also share what's ahead for future episodes, including conversations on apologetics, politics, Islam, transgenderism, church health, and standing firm in an unstable world.If you're looking for something deeper than slogans, stronger than trends, and grounded in Scripture—this is the place.Subscribe and share with someone who needs deeper roots.
