Today, we are pleased to welcome Cecil Seagle as our guest preacher. Cecil was married to Peggie Hames Seagle for 63 years. Together, they served Jesus' Church as pastor and wife for over 20 years. Cecil led the Florida Baptist Convention's mission division for 25 years. He also served as the Executive Director for the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana for six years before retiring to Florida eight years ago. Since then, Cecil has continued to serve churches as an Interim Pastor and guest preacher. He is, of course, best known for being Mark Seagle's dad!
Missionary Evangelist and Independent Baptist Pastor Robert Breaker talks about some heresies he's personally witnessed within the Baptist Movement, and asks all Baptists to come back to the word of God, rather than drifting away from it to follow man's traditions.
To put the question even more pointedly, with lots of stereotyping to go round, when do Lutherans of German descent who settled mainly in the northern mid-western states pay attention to Baptists in the South? This was the subject of the recent recording when co-hosts, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) discussed Scott Yenor's article on what Southern Baptist conservatives might learn from Missouri Synod Lutherans about "the left's" attack on denominational institutions. Part of the discussion involved the Southern Baptist Convention's place in conservative politics and the New Calvinist movement. Another part involved the dark side of church politics -- how much officers and members need to strategize and organize to defeat opponents within a communion where everyone is supposed to agree. Articles the co-hosts mentioned included: Korey Maas on the controversy in the LCMS over Concordia Seminary, St. Louis; and the place of civil rights politics in the LCMS controversy. For any Presbyterians who might see parallels in the Lutheran and Baptist controversies with the Presbyterian conflict of the 1920s, especially over control of seminaries, this discussion at The Reformed Forum may be of use. This episode's sponor is the National Public Radio show, "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me."
Dr. Matthew Barrett recently announced that he is leaving the Southern Baptist Convention and joining the Anglican tradition, citing his shift to paedobaptism as a major factor. In his announcement, he references Acts 2:39—“For the promise is for you and for your children…”—as part of the biblical basis for this change.In this video, we take a closer look at that verse. Does Acts 2:39 actually support the practice of infant baptism? Is it a strong argument against believer's baptism as held by Baptists?Let's explore five key reasons why this verse does not teach paedobaptism—and why the broader context actually reinforces the Baptist view of baptism as a response of personal faith.Support the showGET THE NEWSLETTEREach edition of the Reasonable Theology newsletter contains my latest article or podcast episode PLUS: A Theological Word or Phrase Explained Quickly and Clearly A Painting Depicting a Scene from Scripture or Church History Audio of a Hymn or other Musical Selection to Enjoy A Recommended Book or Resource to Expand Your Library SUBSCRIBE HERE
What if the Baptists weren't just a pragmatic breakaway movement—but a theologically rich tradition born out of deep conviction? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Matthew Bingham, Associate Professor of Church History at Phoenix Seminary and author of Orthodox Radicals: Baptist Identity in the English Revolution. We talk about the real origins of the Baptist movement, the surprising ways early Baptists saw themselves in relation to the wider Reformed tradition, and what that means for evangelicals today—especially those wrestling with a pull toward higher-church traditions.

Fr. Peter Armenio joins Patrick to Friendship with Christ How can we have friendship with God? (12:19) How do we understand some of the euphemism that saints use to describe their love for Christ? (18:25) Bob - I once went to confession and told the priest I was having trouble getting angry with God over disappointments. Angry about it and yelling at God. Fr. told me you probably think I'll get down on you for getting angry with God, but you know God and trust him enough that you can get angry with Him and you can handle that. I was really moved by that. Relationship with God is everything. (26:05) Break 1 Marsha - I'm a cradle Catholic. I've had a relationship with Jesus. The Baptists brought me into that relationship. They gave me a deeper dive into the intimacy with Christ. I hope they saw the beauty of the Catholic church. How does interior life help us from our relationship with Jesus? (40:40) Deedee - My relationship is one of a father and daughter. Trying to be friends with God is sacrilegious. Wouldn't there be a spiritual boundary of some sort? What does friendly speech sound like instead of prayer? (43:43) Break 2 (44:49) What can Mary Magdalene teach us about friendship with Christ?

What does it really mean to be a Baptist, and why does it matter?In this powerful message from our Divine Blueprint series, we explore the distinct convictions that have historically defined Baptist churches, convictions rooted not in tradition, but in Scripture. From biblical authority and believer's baptism to congregational governance and religious liberty, we walk through the B.A.P.T.I.S.T.S. acronym to show how each core belief shapes the way we “do church” today.With historical stories like that of Fritz Erbe, insights from Baptist leaders like Spurgeon, and a clear comparison of church structures and ordinances, this sermon is both a theological deep dive and a practical challenge to live with conviction in today's culture.Whether you're a lifelong Baptist, new to church, or just exploring what makes different denominations unique—this message will equip you to think biblically, live faithfully, and commit meaningfully to the local church.July 6, 2025

Today, we're diving into the theological debate surrounding infant baptism, exploring the perspectives of paedobaptism versus credobaptism. We examine the arguments for infant baptism, practiced by Catholics and some Protestants (such as Presbyterians), and the Catholic belief that it washes away original sin. We also unpack the credobaptist position, held by Baptists and many non-denominational churches, which emphasizes believers' baptism as an outward sign of inward faith, rooted in New Testament examples like Jesus' immersion baptism. We'll look at key scriptures, historical church practices, and the reasoning behind both views and give our thoughts on what we believe to be true.

In this powerful episode of G220 Radio, we are joined by Austin Beigel, President of End Abortion Now, to discuss the Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act—a bold legislative effort to establish equal protection for all human life, from the moment of fertilization. As Reformed 1689 Baptists committed to the authority of Scripture and the sanctity of life, we dive into the biblical, ethical, and legal foundations behind this bill. What is equal protection, and how does it differ from other pro-life strategies? Why is it essential that Christians advocate for true abolition instead of compromise? How can the church rise up and speak prophetically to the state, calling for justice for the unborn? Tune in as we challenge cultural norms, expose the failures of the pro-life industry, and stand for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the fight to end abortion.

The Lord's Supper or Communion has been one of the most historically debated practices in all of Christianity. For Baptists, this ordinance is a solemn, symbolic remembrance of Christ's death and a testimony of His promised return. But in contrast, the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is not merely symbolic—it is the literal body and blood of Christ through the miracle of transubstantiation. These two views are not simply liturgical preferences; they reflect deep theological convictions about grace, salvation, the nature of the Church, and the role of religious ritual.In this episode, we'll explore why traditional Baptists reject the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist. Whether you're a student of theology or just curious about the differences between Baptists and Catholic views, today's discussion will help clarify what's at stake in how the Church remembers the cross.For this conversation we have invited Jim Alter, pastor of Grace Baptist Church of Sidney, Ohio. Jim is co-founder and editor of the Ancient Baptist Press. Jim is also the founder, curator and lecturer for a traveling exhibition called “Purified Seven Times” which is devoted to educating people about the history of the English Bible. Jim is also co-author of the book “Why Baptist? The Significance of Baptist Principles in an Ecumenical Age.”Notes to reference for this episodeVisit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, Sarah Goring and Linda Teliha share two powerful Stories from the Sidewalk—“Faith,” a teen who chose life after seeing a fetal model and discovering she was carrying a girl, and “Jack,” a young father whose life and faith were transformed through support despite domestic abuse trauma. Later, Jonathan Keller explains why the Trump administration dropped the Biden-era EMTALA lawsuit that would have forced hospitals in pro-life states to provide abortions, and discusses the long-term strategy for protecting unborn children. The show concludes with new research from the Charlotte Lozier Institute debunking the “safer than Tylenol” myth about the abortion pill and revealing how complications are often misreported as miscarriages.
The Declaration of Independence uses the words 'God,' 'the Creator,' and 'Divine Providence,' but many of the Founders were highly skeptical of both Christianity and also organized religion, preferring the scientific and rational ideals of the Enlightenment.

Topics include the following: -Theistic and deistic beliefs in the Founders, including Franklin and Jefferson -The different religious groups in the Colonies, from Baptists and Catholics to Anglicans and Quakers -Biblical and theological arguments for and against revolution as well as submission to the King -Grievance #20 in the Declaration, which references the Quebec Act of 1774, which allowed for the establishment of Catholicism in the Canadian colony of Quebec -Jefferson's Act for Establishing Religious Freedom (1779) -The Establishment Clause in the First Amendment

We dive into questions of church history, patristic theology, and the resurgence of retrieval among younger evangelicals.

Pastor Phelps continues his Wednesday night series on how Baptists run church by discussing how congregational government works. Message originally delivered.
If the Bible mentions money more than 2,000 times, why do many pastors find it challenging to preach about? If finances affect every person in the pew, with many struggling in some area of their finances, there is a significant need for discipleship around money and generosity in churches. What makes financial generosity a difficult spiritual discipline for many Christians? In this episode, Todd Unzicker sits down with Art Rainer, founder of Christian Money Solutions, to unpack why generosity should matter to Christians, what the Bible teaches about giving, and the resources available to N.C. Baptist partnering churches. Listen in as they explore the heart behind the “8 Money Milestones” curriculum, and learn more about how your church can benefit from a new partnership between N.C. Baptists and Christian Money Solutions.

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason and Jesse discuss the question: How Did We Get So Many Christian Denominations?The question comes from UBC's “Asking for a Friend” sermon series. Questions discussed in this episode: Is it a good or bad thing that it feels like there is “a different denominational church on every corner?”Define essential Christianity?How does one recognize “False teaching” versus “difference in doctrinal theology” in denominations (for example: baptizing infants)What denominations, although they identify as “Christian,” are concerning to you and why?Where does Catholicism fit with the definitions from today? Catholicism does seem to hold the Nicene Creed true, but there are other areas that do not seem to hold with other Biblical truths.Sermon application point #3 instructed us to “Resolve to love Jesus' church in all its denominational forms.” What should that look like for us when considering that so many denominations have accepted and promoted liberal theology and practices that are unbiblical? (Same-sex marriage, pro-choice, errancy of scripture, etc…)What are our secondary convictions at UBC?UBC is a Baptist church. What does it mean to be a Baptist? Is there anything that makes Baptists distinct from other denominations?Briefly explain why UBC is part of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

In week 2 of A Series of Sermons, we look to Acts 6:1–7. The early church is experiencing explosive growth—and the real problems that come with it. The issue in this passage is essentially a money and operations problem. At the time, the church had two major groups: the Hebrews and the Hellenists. In modern terms, think “KJV-only Baptists vs. everybody else.” The Hellenist widows were being overlooked in the daily food distribution, and tensionswere rising.The apostles stepped in. They acted quickly and wisely—not just to resolve the immediate conflict, but to create a structure for the future. Their decision in that moment of crisis didn't just keep the peace—it produced lasting fruit.So what can we learn from this? Here's the first key question: What should a church do when growth leads to conflict? Second: What role do you play in that solution? And third: What might God do ifwe handle this correctly?
