Theology Central is a podcast focused on making theology central to everything and challenging people to think. This is done via Bible studies, devotional messages, news commentary and sermons. New content is added on a daily basis.
A wedding, severe coughing attacks, sleepless nights, missed flights, a five-hour drive, an unexpected trip to Boston, and one final medical plot twist. I tell the story of what may have been the worst trip ever—funny at times, frightening at others, and hopefully one step closer to finally understanding the health problems listeners have heard me struggle with for months.

A look at the song, The War I'm In by Sanctus Real
We consider a podcast and the claims it makes about Revelation 20:1
A sermon raises a deceptively simple question: what is actually the pastor's job? We examine biblical commands, church traditions, and the responsibilities Christians may have quietly outsourced to the pastor.
A sermon on Elijah raises a simple but important question: when God asked, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" was He also asking us? This episode follows the pronouns, the original addressee, and the sermon's move from Elijah's experience to the Christian life today.
A sermon on Elijah raises a simple but important question: when God asked, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" was He also asking us? This episode follows the pronouns, the original addressee, and the sermon's move from Elijah's experience to the Christian life today.
A strange command, two competing claims, and a sword that reveals far more than anyone expected. Tonight we revisit one of Solomon's most memorable judgments and consider what it may expose about us.
A.W. Tozer argues that Christians can experience a greater filling of the Holy Spirit—but only if certain conditions are met. Is that what Scripture actually teaches, and what happens when the absence of spiritual power is blamed on the believer?
5,559 sermons were added to SermonAudio in just one week. With more Christian teaching available than ever before, why do biblical, theological, and historical illiteracy remain such serious problems? And how can we learn to use this overwhelming abundance of content wisely?
We take a look at the number 1 Contemporary Christian song, Give me Joy
We take a look at the book, Dinner with the Doctor: Luke's Gospel for the Hungry by A Andrew Das
Following the pronouns in Luke 12 raises a difficult question: what "coming" were the disciples actually being told to prepare for? This episode revisits the passage, Peter's question about who the teaching was for, and Jesus' own language about going away and returning.
A short sermon on Luke 12:32 becomes a practical test of biblical pronouns. Who is the "little flock," who is the "you," and what does it mean that the Father is pleased to "give you the kingdom"?
We look at the command to sell all you have in Luke 12:33
A look at one of the most overlooked problems in biblical interpretation: mishandling pronouns. In Part 2, we continue with the basic rules for dealing with pronouns in the bible.
A practical exercise in biblical pronouns. Using Luke 12 and a recent sermon, we follow "you," "your," "they," and "we" through the passage to identify who Jesus was actually addressing—and why that matters for interpretation and application.
A look at one of the most overlooked problems in biblical interpretation: mishandling pronouns. In Part 1, we begin with the basic rules for identifying pronouns, finding their referents, and determining who is speaking and who is being addressed.
We take some time to consider the power mentioned in Mark 16:17-18
We look at a recent update to the Sermonaudio app
Is deconstruction simply another word for apostasy? We examine that claim, look at biblical examples of testing religious truth claims, and ask what really separates honest examination from abandoning the faith.
Join me for a late night sermon review. We will be listening to a sermon about going to church
After Perez Hilton's disturbing livestream and hospitalization, we look beyond the headlines to the pain, suffering, loneliness, and human fragility behind the story—and ask what Christianity actually promises when life becomes unbearably dark.
Update for the SermonAudio app just dropped
A chronological look at power in the Gospels—who possessed it, who received it, why it was given, and whether those extraordinary experiences were promised to every Christian.
A listener's honest questions about the Holy Spirit, promised power, and why the Christian life today often seems so different from the book of Acts.
While our running an errand I hit play on a sermon, did I hear the pastor correctly?
We return to The Worldview fundraiser, hear the latest update, and discover what happened in the final push toward $123,500.
I look at a report that 50,000 people were saved during the Forrest Frank tour
The deadline has arrived. We return to The Worldview fundraiser, hear the latest update, and discover what happened in the final push toward $123,500.
Forrest Frank is one of the biggest names in modern Christian music—but what theology is shaping his songs, testimony, and Jesus Generation Tour? We examine his church influences, charismatic beliefs, lyrics, and the claims of revival surrounding his rapidly growing ministry.
Pastors and ministries are warning that Christians are turning to AI for biblical answers, spiritual guidance, and even sermon criticism. But within Protestantism—where Scripture is final and every believer must test what is preached—has AI simply become the newest and most powerful tool of private judgment?
Psalm 22 gives voice to the desperate question, "Where is God?" This late-night episode explores suffering, divine silence, the cry of David, the words of Christ on the cross, and how faith can still speak when no explanation comes.
The U.S. Department of War posted Isaiah 6:8 alongside images of American military personnel following military action against Iran. Is this an appropriate use of Scripture—or a troubling example of taking God's Word out of context?
The deadline has arrived. Did they raise the $123,500 they said is needed to fund its six-member team for another year? We examine the final-day update, the unusual listener testimonials, and one last spiritually charged appeal for money.
After examining the church bulletin and tracing the history of interpretation, it's finally time to turn to Matthew 13:44–52 itself. What does the text actually say?
Are tattoos inherently worldly? Does Leviticus 19:28 forbid Christians from getting them? And how can believers determine whether something is worldly when Scripture does not provide a complete list of forbidden cultural practices? This episode examines tattoos, Christian liberty, conscience, cultural associations, and the biblical meaning of worldliness.
A Christian newscast says it needs $123,500 to fund a six-member team for another year—and more than $44,000 must arrive by July 31. What exactly does the program cost, what are listeners actually funding, and when does a Christian financial appeal become spiritual pressure?
How has the church understood Matthew 13:44–52 through the centuries? Before examining the text ourselves, we trace the history of its interpretation.
Let's examine Psalm 61:2 in its historical and literary context, explore the imagery of the "rock," and consider how this well-known verse can be applied today without losing its original meaning.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey* raises a profound question: What is love? Is love ultimately measured by sacrifice? Why do stories of faithfulness, loss, and costly devotion continue to resonate so deeply with us? In this episode, we move beyond a movie review to examine the film's central themes through the lens of Scripture.
Let's discuss 2 Timothy 1:7, who is it actually for?
