Podcasts about Common grace

How can Christians affirm a fundamental antithesis between belief and unbelief while also recognizing the genuine truth, goodness, and cultural achievements found among unbelievers? In this archival lecture from his History and Nature of Apologetics course, Cornelius Van Til explores the Reformed doctrine of common grace and its importance for Christian apologetics. Van Til explains how God's restraint of sin allows believers and unbelievers to live and work together even while their fundamental interpretations of reality remain radically opposed. Along the way, he contrasts the Reformed position with Roman Catholicism, Arminianism, hyper-Calvinism, and neo-orthodoxy, arguing that a consistently Christian apologetic must begin with the triune God revealed in Scripture.

What does the Noahic covenant have to do with the celebration of 250 years of our nation's history, and the June celebration of so called 'gay pride'? Here with the Noahic Covenant, we see God's covenant of common grace where He formally institutes the state, and calls upon the state to promote procreation, provision, and protection of human life, promising to preserve the earth and the natural order so that the Seed of the woman may come in Jesus Christ.

Psalm 145 is King David's final psalm, and it serves as a powerful roadmap for a life of genuine praise. Blessing God is not about adding to who He is but about acknowledging who He already is. Praise grows naturally when we take time to remember and reflect on what God has done in our lives. God is compassionate, patient, and good to all people, not just those who follow Him. He is outside of time, sovereign over all creation, and our daily provider and sustainer. He is near to those who call on Him with sincerity and integrity. After a lifetime of victories and failures, David's conclusion was not bitterness or regret but praise. We have that same opportunity every single day.Support the show

On today's pledge drive edition of A Public Affair, host Dana Pellebon is in conversation with Rev. Staci Marrese-Wheeler and Rev. Tim Schaefer about the phenomena of white Christian nationalism and how their congregations are choosing to follow a table-flipping Jesus. Rev. Schaefer is part of a coalition of clergy in Wisconsin working against Christian nationalism. He says that this political ideology gets framed in theological terms by a small group of people who interpret scripture in a narrow way in order to uphold their power and control. Rooted in white supremacy, Christian nationalism threatens democratic norms and threatens churches because it doesn't allow for pluralism in either space, says Schaefer. Rev. Marrese-Wheeler says that this ideology is rooted in fear and a scarcity mindset, but she follows Christian teachings of abundance. She pastors a small, progressive congregation where people have been exposed to justice-framed understandings of the Gospel. “Patriarchy is baked into church DNA,” says Marrese-Wheeler, though there have been denominations that ordain female clergy. Schaefer says that he brings feminist, womanist, and queer theologies into his sermons, following the model of a social-justice, table-flipping Jesus.  “More and more, faithful people are being asked to create more power and more wealth for people who don't follow Jesus,” says Marrese-Wheeler. Instead, she looks to Christian traditions in Central America and Africa that preach community instead of individualism. Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Rev. Staci Marrese-Wheeler (She/Her) is Pastor at Common Grace. Staci is an ordained pastor of the Moravian Church of North America. Staci has an undergraduate degree in Education and a Masters of Divinity from Moravian Theological Seminary in Bethlehem, PA. She has served on the eastside of Madison for 17 of her 33 years in ministry. Staci’s role at Common Grace is  called “Community Development Pastor.” She also serves as Co-Director of the Eastmorland Community Center on the east side of Madison. Rev. Tim Schaefer has served as pastor of First Baptist Church since November 2020. Prior to relocating to Wisconsin, he served as Minister to Youth at Royal Lane Baptist Church in Dallas, TX, where he was ordained in early 2019. Tim holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Boston University and a Master of Divinity degree, as well as, a degree certificate in Gender and Sexual Justice from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University. In addition to his pastoral role, Tim co-founded and continues to co-lead the Wisconsin Coalition for Religious Freedom, a broad collective of Wisconsinites dedicated to disrupting the rise of white Christian nationalism in our state.

Did you ever stop to think that God's common grace is what allows culture, arts, science, and ordinary vocations to flourish—even among non-Christians? Today Marlin Detweiler sits down with theologian Dr. Michael S. Horton to explore how common grace shapes classical Christian education and why we should value truth and beauty wherever we find it.Dr. Horton explains why classical educators should appreciate the insights of “virtuous pagans” like Aristotle and Cicero and how to balance the final authority of Scripture with the wisdom of the Great Books. The conversation also addresses the restlessness of our modern culture, the importance of ordinary excellence, and the challenges AI poses to wisdom and deep thinking.

Is trauma-informed counseling biblical—or is it undermining the sufficiency of Scripture?In this episode of Remnant Radio, we take a careful, biblical look at trauma-informed care, responding to recent critiques from pastors, biblical counselors, and theologians who argue that trauma-informed counseling is harming the church. Some claim that if Christians would simply repent, trust Jesus, and obey Scripture, trauma-informed approaches would be unnecessary—or even dangerous.So how should Christians think about trauma, trauma-informed counseling, and trauma-informed therapy?In Part One of this two-part discussion, we begin by defining trauma and trauma-informed care, ensuring we are speaking clearly and accurately. We then distinguish between trauma-informed pastoral counseling and trauma-informed therapy, including approaches such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, and polyvagal-informed therapy.We examine whether trauma-informed counseling is supported by Scripture by turning to the Book of Job, one of the Bible's most extensive treatments of suffering, trauma, and pastoral response. Job's condemnation of his friends as “miserable comforters” provides a sobering warning against theologically misinformed counsel that intensifies suffering rather than alleviating it.This episode also addresses key theological concerns, including:-The sufficiency of Scripture for salvation and sanctification-The doctrine of common grace and its relationship to medicine, psychology, and therapy-Whether trauma-informed care excuses sin or undermines repentance-How physiological trauma responses differ from sinful anxiety-Whether modern psychology should ever be subordinate to biblical authorityPart Two will move into practical application, offering a biblical framework for trauma-informed care that upholds Scripture, guards against theological compromise, and equips pastors, counselors, and Christians to care well for those who have suffered trauma.
