This episode argues that the Monroe Doctrine is not history but infrastructure—the deep logic through which American power still understands the world. In dialogue with Steve McGregor as a critical interlocutor, the conversation interrogates Manifest Destiny, strategic denial, and the moral language used to mask exclusion and dominance. What emerges is a confrontation with the Monroe Doctrine as a claim of inevitability—contested, unfinished, but very much alive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
“The truth is, you can't avoid [doctrine], because it's a matter of what we believe. And that, of course, is simply a matter of trying to express what the Bible teaches for us, what God has said.” Dr. Robert Picirilli, Free Will Baptist author and theologian, discusses the importance of doctrine and how it must continue to be valued and taught by Christians.

Discernment in this age of internet social media and AI is more important than ever. This holds true with anything in life but is especially important to the spiritual seeker. Beliefs, doctrines, attitudes etc., all have real world consequences. In this teaching I wrestle with this question: How do we sort it out so that we can tap into authentic spiritual experiences?

The Doctrines of Calvinism - Total Depravity - Zane Zybach by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area
Francis Schaeffer said, "Ideas have consequences." If people believe false ideas, they inevitably act on them in disastrous ways. The only solution to such false ideas is to replace them with the truth. Theology and doctrine matter.

Looking back at five big US foreign policy shifts from the Monroe doctrine in the 19th Century to the post-9/11 strategies of the Bush doctrine in the early 2000s. Justin Webb and his guests examine how America's approach to the world has constantly changed over time, to help answer a really big question - how radical is the way President Donald Trump deals with the world? Is he really an outlier in US history? Or do his actions reflect the changing patterns of American power?
Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. Taught at Agape Bible Church in Willits, California on January 25, 2026. [54 minutes]

The Doctrines of Calvinism - God's Sovereignty - Zane Zybach by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area
A funeral sermon reconstructed from four sets of notes shouldn't bear the weight of an entire theology—unless it did, over time. We dive into the King Follett Discourse with clear eyes, tracing how a two-hour address in 1844 became a flashpoint for modern conversations about the nature of God, prophetic authority, and what truly counts as doctrine in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Response to @bayliebelieves Two contrasting claims collide over the King Follett Discourse: a challenge that it's non-canon and unreliable versus a rebuttal that later LDS prophets taught its themes for decades. We trace what counts as doctrine, how sermons turn into beliefs, and why splinter groups say the center changed.• framing the LDS vs Christian critique over God's nature• the status of King Follett as non-canon funeral sermon• limits of note-based reconstructions and windy-day reporting• claims that Joseph Smith affirmed God's eternal divinity• the seventy-year continuity of related teachings by LDS leaders• canon versus sustained teaching as sources of doctrine• splinter groups alleging apostasy and doctrinal retreat• a plea for rigorous, charitable truth-seeking and reading full sourcesWe lay out the core tension. On one side, you'll hear the case for treating King Follett as non-canon, incomplete, and unreliable for defining belief, especially when listeners cherry-pick a sentence to score a point. On the other, we follow the historical thread: the ideas associated with the discourse were reiterated by successive LDS leaders for decades, shaping nineteenth-century Mormon thought and leaving a long tail that still touches today's debates. When doctrines appear in sermons and are echoed across presidencies, do they become functionally authoritative, even without formal canonization?Along the way, we cut through the noise: the windy-day reporting, the four accounts, the claim that Joseph Smith affirmed God's eternal divinity, and the counterclaim that he taught divine progression from manhood. We also map why splinter groups like the FLDS say mainstream LDS leadership abandoned earlier teachings, and how that accusation reframes the question of continuity versus change. If you care about LDS doctrine, Christian theology, or how living faith communities define truth, this conversation offers a thoughtful, historically grounded roadmap for better questions and better answers.If this resonated with you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves religious history, and leave a review with your take: what should define doctrine—canon, sermons, or sustained teaching?Questions about Orthodoxy?

The greatest danger in the last days is not violence, fear, or world events, but spiritual deception. Scripture teaches that many will depart from the faith by listening to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Jesus warned us repeatedly about the danger of being deceived in the last days. The constant exposure to the world's ideas, voices, and "knowledge" leads to confusion, fear, and spiritual decline. Deception often works through guile—truth mixed with error—which makes it especially dangerous. That's how the serpent deceived Eve. He didn't deny God outright—he questioned, reframed, and let her draw the wrong conclusion. In the end, guile doesn't shout. It whispers. And by the time you realize where it's led you, your thinking has already shifted. The only safeguard against deception is wholehearted devotion to Christ, disciplined separation from corrupt influences, and a faithful commitment to seeking truth from God alone. Christ must remain the sole authority over the believer's mind and heart.

Join the show with a TEXT here!In the last episode of our mini‑series, we explored the Reformation's competing ideas about who should read Scripture, what Scripture is, and whether it is clear in itself. We saw a sharp divide between the Protestant conviction that every Christian should read the Bible and the Eastern Orthodox position that, historically, often restricted access to it.Today we take the next step and dive into the question of the Canon—because whenever we talk about the authority of Scripture, we first have to know what counts as Scripture. We'll examine why the Eastern Orthodox tradition has no unified or historically grounded way to account for its canon, even among its own theologians, while also looking at the Protestant canon, which has enjoyed consistent historical and theological support reaching back to the time of Moses.If you're ready for a deep, source‑driven exploration, grab your Bible and strap in for the ride.

In this message from Luke 10:25–37, Jesus responds to a lawyer who seeks to justify himself by asking, “Who is my neighbor?” Rather than presenting a plan of salvation, Christ exposes the heart of the question and illustrates what true obedience to the law looks like through the parable of the Good Samaritan.As Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem, He teaches that love toward God is inseparable from love toward others. The Samaritan's actions reveal compassion that flows from the Spirit, while the priest and Levite demonstrate that religious position and knowledge alone do not produce mercy.This sermon emphasizes that spiritual fruit cannot be manufactured by the flesh. Just as an apple tree cannot produce oranges, an unregenerate heart cannot produce the fruit of the Spirit. Doing good unto others is not the cause of life, but the evidence of it.Scripture Text: Luke 10:25–37Key Verse: Galatians 6:10Church: Vestavia Primitive Baptist ChurchService Date: January 4, 2026
In this New Year's Eve service, Pastor Chris McCool (Zion PBC) shares a message of hope and encouragement from Mark chapter 5. Focusing on the account of Jairus and his dying daughter, Brother Chris discusses "the difficulty of the delay"—the space we live in between the trials of this world and the fulfillment of God's promises. Whether you are facing personal loss, sickness, or the general frustrations of life, this sermon reminds us of Jesus' comforting words: "Be not afraid, only believe."
Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "Paul and The Parables" in his series entitled "ROMANS: DOCTRINES - Justification (2X)" This is Part 9 and it focuses on the following verses: Matthew 23:23, 25:21-46; Luke 11:42; Philippians 3:5
Gregory Copley observes a 2025 shift toward nationalism and decisive leadership, asserting that globalism is declining. He notes that nuclear weapons are becoming "unusable" due to changing military doctrines and warns that Western democracies are sliding toward autocracy, drawing historical parallels to Oliver Cromwell's rise as Lord Protector. 1648 CROMWELL
In this episode, I dive into the Articles of Faith and Official Declarations 1 and 2 and talk about what they teach us about revelation, change, and trusting living prophets. I share how the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon, help us sort truth from noise, why repentance and faith in Christ are so central, and how we can honor others' right to worship while holding fast to our own beliefs. In the end, I come back to Nephi's "nevertheless": we don't know the meaning of all things, but we do know that God loves His children—and that truth is enough to keep us on the covenant path.
