John Scotus Eriugena was one of the most radical thinkers of the early Middle Ages — a philosopher who fused eastern and western Christian theology with Neoplatonism to create a vision of God, nature, and creation centuries that is breathtaking and unique. In this episode, we explore his masterwork Periphyseon (On the Division of Nature), his controversial ideas on negative theology, and why the Church eventually condemned his work as heretical.Find me and my music here:https://linktr.ee/filipholmSupport Let's Talk Religion on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkreligion Or through a one-time donation: https://paypal.me/talkreligiondonateSources/Recommended Reading:Carabine, Deirdre (2000).

Kingdom of God Series - The Kingdom is Near Lyndon Reiff The Kingdom of God is not simply a theological idea or a future destination - it is the good news that God's reign has come near and continues to break into our world. As we explore what it means to live as people of the Kingdom, we are invited to see God as the faithful and loving King, to follow Jesus with wholehearted trust, and to embrace our calling as signs of His Kingdom in a broken world. Even as we live in the tension of the “already and not yet,” we can hold onto the hope that God is present, faithful, and able to break into any situation with His grace, power, and goodness.

Kingdom of God Series - Ginosko Niall Presland-White In Deuteronomy 8, God repeatedly calls His people to remember His faithfulness - not just in seasons of hardship, but especially in times of blessing when it is easy to become self-sufficient and forget Him. Drawing together this passage with Jesus' parable of the ten virgins, this message explores what it means to cultivate a deep, personal relationship with God that endures through every season. As we remember His goodness, recognise His blessings today, faithfully walk the path before us, and pursue an intimate (ginosko) relationship with Christ, we keep our hearts prepared and our lamps full, ready for whatever lies ahead.
Kingdom of God Series - The Awesome, Awful Fear of the Lord Niall Presland-White What does it really mean to fear the Lord? Far from being a call to live in terror, Scripture reveals the fear of the Lord as a life marked by awe, reverence, and joyful surrender before a holy God. As the foundation of wisdom and the gateway to understanding God's Kingdom, holy fear draws us into deeper intimacy with Jesus, frees us from the fears that control us, and anchors us in His perfect peace. Through the lens of Scripture, this message explores the different kinds of fear we experience and invites us to discover the beauty, freedom, and confidence found in living with a true fear of the Lord.

Today we wrap up our series on the Armour Of God with this sixth and final episode. Today we take a look at the Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. To have this conversation I had felt to bring on Ammon Jeffs. We start out by discussing what the Sword of the Spirit is and how we as Mormons have a unique and expansive definition of scripture that gives us much more to utilize as disciples of Jesus Christ. From there we move into examples of people who have used scripture to repel attacks from the adversary. After that we then move on to talk about how studying the scriptures helps enter into a revelatory space as we both share personal examples of how that has worked. All along the way taking moments to talk about other principles in the Restored Gospel. Mormon Legacy Ministries:mormonlegacy.org5000 Year Leap Class:mormonlegacy.org/5000
In chapter 5 of Sinclair Ferguson's "Devoted to God," we confront an unavoidable reality: the Christian life is a battlefield. The moment you became a Christian, you stepped into a war zone where the flesh and the Spirit are locked in mortal combat for your soul.Paul's command in Galatians 5 is both a promise and a call to action: "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." This isn't about trying harder in your own strength. Christian holiness is rooted in what God has already done through Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit.Ferguson helps us understand that we live with a foot in two ages. We live in the old age dominated by flesh, sin, and death, and the new age dominated by the Spirit, grace, and life. We explore the biblical pattern of indicative (what God has done) leading to imperative (how we're called to live), and discover five practical principles.This is a battle, but it's one we fight as wounded soldiers, encouraging each other onward and upward, always finding our resources in Christ.
Today we pick up with part five of the Armour of God series. Today Sara Decker joins me as we have a conversation about the Helmet of Salvation. The first place we start is talking about the part of the body the helmet is meant to protect and what this part of the scriptures might be trying to tell us. From there we move on to talk about how to receive the revelation we need to navigate these last days, we talk about the importance of keeping the lines of communication open between us and heaven. We then move into wrapping everything up by talking about how this all fits into the motif of battle armour centering around the helmet of salvation and then finally about how to apply everything we talked about and in conjunction with what keeps us from doing so.

In this episode of our series on Sinclair Ferguson's "Devoted to God," we examine one of the most crucial passages in the New Testament: Romans 6. Ferguson guides us through Paul's explosive answer to a dangerous question: if grace covers all sin, why not keep sinning?Discover the three dimensions of our union with Christ—eternal, covenantal, and existential—and what it means that we were crucified, buried, and raised with him. Learn how baptism isn't merely a sign of our faith, but God's declaration of what he has done: delivering us from death to life.We explore what it means to have died to sin's reign, to live under grace rather than law, and to embrace the daily rhythm of the baptized life through four powerful commands from Romans 6.Tags: Romans 6, Union with Christ, Baptism, Sinclair Ferguson, Sanctification, Gospel Identity, Reformed Theology, Christian Living, Paul's Epistles, Belgrade URC
It's on to part four of our series on the Armour of God. Today Joseph Hammonds as we sit down to have a conversation about the Shield Of Faith. We start off by getting a little bit of Joseph's back story, how he first came into contact with Mormonism then how he made the leap to accepting the Fullness of the Gospel. From there we break down the meaning of the term shield in Hebrew. From there our conversation shifts to what the Shield of Faith guards against, the fiery darts of the adversary. We break what those could be and how the adversary uses them to keep us from reaching our potential, and in this part of the conversation I relate and experience that I don't think I have ever shared before. We wrap this episode all up by asking the questions how we incorporate the Shield of Faith into our discipleship.

Introduction"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." — Galatians 2:20In this sermon, we explore the absolute heart of Christian sanctification through Paul's words in Galatians 2:20. Drawing from Sinclair Ferguson's "Devoted to God," we examine how holiness doesn't happen apart from Christ. Holiness happens IN Christ.Four Life-Changing Truths:1. The Son of God Gave Himself FOR MeJesus didn't die near us—He died as us. Our sins were credited to Him, and His perfect life is now credited to us. Both justification and sanctification flow from this substitutionary work.2. I Live by Faith IN the Son of GodPaul uses a unique phrase: we don't just believe in Jesus, we believe into Jesus. Faith transfers our trust and actually unites us to Him—we're IN Christ, not just observers from the outside.3. I Have Been Crucified WITH ChristWhen Jesus was crucified, we were crucified with Him—not symbolically, but positionally. The old you, the slave to sin, died on that cross. The claims of the old life are terminated, and the power of sin is broken.4. Christ Lives IN MeJesus doesn't just save us and then coach from the sidelines. He walks with us because we're joined to Him. We're united with the Trinitarian God, seated with Christ in heavenly places.Stop Living Like Spiritual PaupersMost Christians live like spiritual beggars, unaware of the riches conferred upon them. You've been given union with the Son of God. Stop striving in your own strength. Stop trying to be holy apart from Him.Instead, meditate daily on these truths: He loved me and gave Himself for me. I live by faith in the Son of God. I have been crucified with Christ. Christ now lives in me.Sanctification isn't just turning away from sin, but is also turning TO Christ, basking in His glory, and moving in His resurrection life as we take hold of Him by faith.
Today we continue our series on the Armour of God. Today Cory Molloy joins me as we break down the concept of the Breastplate of Righteousness. We start by taking a look at the surface level understanding of the verse. From there we take a deep dive on how to put that part of the armour on and what prevents us from applying that protection in our lives as the conversation grows and becomes expansive in its scope as we talk about temptation and resisting those temptations to not put the Armour of God.

One of the greatest additions to our homeschool last year was incorporating biographies of great Christians from history. It brought incredible richness to my daughter's language arts, deepened her character as she learned from godly examples, and sparked meaningful family discussions that blessed us all. In this episode, I share exactly how we wove biography study into our daily homeschool rhythms, why exposing our children to these faith-filled lives is so vital for their spiritual growth, and the unexpected ways it strengthened our entire family. If you're looking for simple, impactful ways to enrich your homeschool with truth, beauty, and inspiration, you'll enjoy this conversation!

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN!!!Sometimes in scripture we see passages that are identical from the Bible to Restoration scriptures, when those appear I think the Lord is trying to emphasize to us how important the principle is. For the next few weeks, we are going to be talking about such a topic as we kick off the Armour of God series. You can find both of these passages in Ephesians 6:14-17 and Doctrine & Covenants 27:15-18. In this first episode we focus on girding ourselves with truth. To help me do this Joshua Winchell joins me as he first gives his backstory on how he found his way into the Fullness of the Restored Gospel, from there we move on to talk about the historical context in which Paul writes Ephesians which will shed some pretty interesting light on the scriptures in question. From there we move on to what girding ourselves in truth really means as we explore the idea from a surface understanding going deeper to reveal Temple connections and connections to our posterity.

This week we pick up the Names of God Series with the Name of God: El Shaddai. This name of God means: The All Sufficient One – The God of the Mountains, God Almighty This name of God marries the characteristics of God's Power and Might with His tenderness and nurturing care. God is truly our all-sufficient one. He is the one who will always be there for us. He is our protector. He loves us unconditionally and He is the one who holds us when everything around us is falling apart.

In this first message for 2026 Phil Mason shares on the theme of Living for God. In an age of ever-increasing lawlessness, where so many are taking the name of the Lord in vain, there is an imperative for those of us who truly believe in God to live for Him. But what does it mean to live for God?Do we really believe that God exists? If we do, we must make the radical decision to live fully for Him; otherwise, we will be swept up in what Paul called the ‘strong delusion' (2 Thessalonians 2:11) that is sweeping away all those who cannot escape the rising tide of lawlessness that is gripping the planet.How do we know if we are under this ‘strong delusion?' The world is full of religious people who profess a belief in God yet are completely unmoved by Him. If we truly believe in God, then we must live for Him. Allow this message to set the compass of your heart for 2026. Be blessed!

Echoes of Abba in the Philippine HistoryLong before the first missionaries arrived, the ancient peoples of the Philippines already spoke a name for the Father — Abba.From pre-colonial records to early explorer accounts, these echoes remain — whispers of a time when the Creator was known by His true Name.This short film explores the ancient roots of faith in the East — revealing how the worship of the Most High did not begin in the West but was preserved in the islands of gold.Could this be more than coincidence? Could these “echoes of Abba” be remnants of a covenant older than empire?
