Podcast appearances and mentions of John Calvin

John Calvin said “it is impossible to praise God without also uttering the praises of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit.” The three persons Calvin is referring to are, of course, the Trinity. What does the Bible say about this doctrine? How do we think correctly about the relationships within the Trinity? And how should this central aspect of God affect how we live each day? To answer those and more questions about the Trinity, Dr. Chou and Dr. Buzenitz are joined by Dr. Michael Riccardi, theology professor at The Master's Seminary. Together, they take a deep look at who God is and what the fact that he is Trinity means for all of us.

Every year the week of Resurrection Sunday we put out a part of John Calvin's "Passion of the Christ" 8 Part series. This is part 3! Jesus in the Garden. (We've now covered Sermons 3-8 use our website to find them)We also cover what it would have been like to have John Calvin as your pastor.

Mother Miriam reflects on Eric Sammons' article "Chasing the Apocalypse" and issues a loving but firm warning: obsessing over end-times predictions can become a dangerous distraction from what truly matters—personal holiness, evangelization, and daily fidelity to Christ. While staying spiritually alert is necessary, Mother Miriam reminds us that fear-driven speculation often leads to pride, spiritual paralysis, and disconnection from the mission God has given each of us right now. Drawing on Scripture, Church history, and a moving passage from 2 Peter, she lays out what true preparedness looks like: faith lived through virtue, knowledge, discipline, and love. The episode also features thoughtful responses to live questions on John Calvin, papal infallibility, and the beauty of the Latin Mass. This is a call to Catholics everywhere: root your soul not in rumors, but in the sacraments and the solid ground of Christ's Church.U.S. residents!

Hola amigos!, welcome back to Spanish Loops! Today, we're digging into the life of Miguel Servet, a 16th-century Spanish polymath. Born around 1511 in Villanueva de Sigena, Aragon, Servet was a theologian, physician, and humanist. He had a knack for languages, mastering Latin, Greek, and Hebrew early on. His academic journey took him to Toulouse for law and later to Paris for medicine.​Servet's medical insights were groundbreaking. He was among the first Europeans to describe pulmonary circulation, detailing how blood moves from the heart to the lungs and back—a revelation that challenged existing beliefs.​But it was his theological views that stirred the pot. In works like "De Trinitatis Erroribus" (1531), he questioned the concept of the Trinity, ruffling feathers in both Catholic and Protestant circles. Facing backlash, he adopted the pseudonym Michel de Villeneuve and relocated to France.In 1553, Servet published "Christianismi Restitutio," further challenging mainstream theology and including his findings on blood circulation. This led to his arrest and trial in Geneva, where, under John Calvin's influence, he was condemned for heresy and burned at the stake on October 27, 1553.​Servet's legacy is profound, influencing religious tolerance debates and advancing medical science.That's it for today's episode on Miguel Servet. Stay curious, and keep looping in!

Your comments are welcome! Send a text my way!There are many topics in Scripture that can lead to controversy and unfortunately separation from true Christians when we should really still be together as one in spite of many of our differences. Certainly, one of the greatest topics of battles through the years has been the issue of election, which was basically defined and codified in John Calvin's famous work "The Institutes of the Christian Religion." This episode of 2Days Denarius focuses on a short devotional by the famous late minister and author A. W. Tozer, in which he, in short and strait order, laid out a small case in favor of God's choosing grace and dependence on Him over a man-made decision process in one's salvation. This podcast graciously covers this topic from some biblical and historical viewpoints. We should never afraid to look at difficult topics in Scripture. They are there for us to study with open heart and mind, through the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit. Let's take a listen together and praise God for his Amazing Grace!Devotional reading for this episode comes from "Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings" by A. W. Tozer and Gerald B. Smith, 2008. Chicago: Moody Publishers. Theme songs "Holy Is the Lord" is used by permission of song writer/performer Pastor Steve Hereford of the Changed By Grace Church in Jacksonville, FL.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 21st of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We are approaching Easter, and I have a special message of encouragement for the ladies today. If we go to Matthew 27:55-56:”And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.” I really want to pay tribute to the ladies. You know, it was a woman who was the first one to go down to the tomb early on Sunday morning to visit the Lord. Not the men, no. You know, dad might be the head of the home but mom is the heart of the home. The biggest scourge we have facing our beloved nation of South Africa, is that we are faced with a fatherless generation. Yes, I'm not talking about young children that don't have a father. Many of those fathers are present but they are not operating in their position. I praise God today for the mothers. John Wesley said his biggest influence in his life was not John Calvin or Count Zinzendorf or any of the great theologians. The biggest influence in his life was his mother. Her name was Susanna. We really need to honour our womanfolk. I want to say to the men, we need to step up boys. We need to be the prophet, the priest and the king of the home. The prophet is the one who leads the way. The priest is the one who gets up in the morning, by example, and has a quiet time with Jesus before anyone else rises, and the king is the one who brings home food to feed his family.Today, let's honour our mothers, our wives, our sisters. Let's honour the women of God who are so courageous, who are always there at the end. Thank you Lord for the womenfolk.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

In this sermon on the Protestant Reformation, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones provides a comprehensive overview of the Protestant Reformation and its ongoing relevance. He traces the development of the Roman Catholic Church over the centuries, highlighting how it deviated from biblical teaching through traditions, papal authority, and doctrines like transubstantiation. Dr. Lloyd-Jones then explains how reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin rediscovered key biblical truths like justification by faith alone and sola scriptura. He recounts how the Reformation spread to different countries, including England. Dr. Lloyd-Jones emphasizes that the core doctrinal differences between Protestantism and Catholicism remain, despite surface-level changes in the Catholic Church. He urges listeners to value and defend Reformation truths, warning against ecumenical movements that compromise the gospel. Overall, Dr. Lloyd-Jones presents the Reformation as a crucial recovery of biblical Christianity that continues to have vital importance for the church today.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Idolatrous Worship Forbidden By its Opposition to the True God Subtitle: Reformation Speaker: John Calvin Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 3/9/2025 Length: 7 min.

Question: Can you help me with this question: “If Jesus died for all and has legally purchased all through substitutionary atonement, then how can those people go to hell? That would be a ‘Double Jeopardy' of the sins of those people being paid for twice.” This is my husband's main question and I would really appreciate help with it based on Calvinism.Response: The Bible says that God wants all to be saved: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Pet 3:9). But the Bible also says that not all will be saved (Matt 7:21-23; Lk 13:22-27, etc). Nevertheless, the Bible also tells us that God is all powerful (Ps 147:5; Jer 32:17; Matt 19:26, etc).Calvinism has its own explanation. They strive to make things add up. “If God is all powerful,” the reasoning goes, “and God wants all people to be saved, then all people will be saved. Since not all people will be saved, Christ must have died only for some; God must not want all to be saved.”This is unbiblical according to the much-explained John 3:16 (what “world” means), and the blunt statement of 1 John 2:1-2: “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” But to some, it makes nice, theological sense. This is, however, putting one's reason above God's Word; believing what makes sense rather than believing all of what God has said. As Dave Hunt wrote in Calvin's Dilemma: God's Sovereignty vs. Man's Free Will (pp 9-10), “William L. Pettingill wrote, ‘God insists upon His sovereignty and also upon man's responsibility. Believe both and preach both, leaving the task of ‘harmonizing' with Him.' In a similar vein, A. T. Pierson, although a leading Presbyterian, declared that both ‘the sovereign will of God and the freedom of man' are taught in Scripture and that ‘if we cannot reconcile these two, it is because the subject is so infinitely lifted up above us. Man is free.... Thus the last great invitation in God's Book is an appeal to the will.'“Unfortunately, neither John Calvin nor many of his followers today have been willing to accept both sides of this biblical teaching. The result has been devastating in its consequences for the gospel: that man can only reject Christ; he cannot accept and believe in Him unless he is sovereignly regenerated by God. Calvinism refuses to accept what so many great evangelists have recognized is vital. Edgar Mullins expresses very well the essential balance that is missing:“‘Free will in man is as fundamental a truth as any other in the gospel and must never be canceled in our doctrinal statements. Man would not be man without it and God never robs us of our true moral manhood in saving us.... The decree of salvation must be looked at as a whole to understand it. Some have looked at God's choice alone and ignored the means and the necessary choice on man's part.'”

Send us a textAre we truly understanding what it means to be justified by faith, or are we entangled in a web of rules and regulations that distract from the divine essence of grace? In this eye-opening episode, we engage deeply with the life-altering principles introduced by reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin, who emphasized that salvation is entirely by faith—not by works. The complexities of our daily lives often lead us to confuse outward actions like vaping or drinking with our worthiness of God's love; however, this episode challenges such misconceptions and encourages a shift in focus towards our faith journey. We discuss the ways media consumption impacts our spirituality, ensuring we do not fall into the habit of glorifying worldly trends at the expense of our relationship with Christ. With biblical narratives of faithfulness amid trials, we discover how challenges are essential for spiritual maturity. Ultimately, we're called to reflect on the importance of living by faith, embracing our identity in Christ rather than becoming bogged down by the distractions surrounding us. Join us as we dive into enriching discussions that redefine and illuminate the path of faith.

How does being a Presbyterian differ from other Christian traditions? In this episode, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany Coker explore the history, beliefs, and denominational differences within Presbyterianism.If you missed the last two episodes on the Presbyterian Church in America, be sure to check them out!Here's What We Discussed:00:55 - The Roots of PresbyterianismThe word Presbyterian comes from the Greek presbuteros, which means elder or leader. The way Presbyterian churches are structured comes from the teachings of John Calvin and John Knox during the Protestant Reformation. A key document that guides Presbyterian beliefs is the Westminster Confession of Faith, written in the 1640s.02:55 - Key Differences Between PCUSA, PCA, and EPCPCUSA (Presbyterian Church USA) – The largest mainline Presbyterian body, known for progressive theology. They ordain women and LGBTQ+ clergy and hold a non-literal approach to Scripture.PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) – Formed in 1973, this denomination takes a conservative stance, emphasizing biblical inerrancy and traditional doctrine.EPC (Evangelical Presbyterian Church) – Founded in 1981, this denomination allows individual congregations some freedom, such as deciding whether to ordain women and engaging with charismatic movements.06:13 - Presbyterian Worship & TheologyPresbyterian church services are usually structured and formal, with a strong focus on Bible teaching. The way they worship has stayed mostly the same for centuries, following traditions from the Reformation.Sacraments: Baptism (infants & believers) and Communion.Governance: Churches are led by elders rather than a single pastor or bishop.Theology: Many Presbyterians follow Reformed theology, including doctrines like God's sovereignty, salvation by grace, and covenant theology.10:01 - Influential Figures in PresbyterianismYou may know some theologians and pastors from Presbyterian backgrounds:R.C. Sproul (Theologian & Ligonier Ministries)Tim Keller (Redeemer Presbyterian Church, NYC)Eugene Peterson (The Message Bible translation)J. Gresham Machen, James Montgomery Boice, B.B.

John Calvin once said, “Our heart is an idol factory.” As we study James 1:12-15, one could also say that, “Our heart is a sin factory.” But there is good news. God is greater than any temptation we will face in this world.

In this episode, we examine the origins of Satan and demons with the help of John Calvin and William Gouge (John 8:44; Jude 6).

In this episode of the All of Life podcast, Nate Claiborne and Michael Allen dive into the New Testament book of Hebrews, offering background context and exploring its significance within Christian scripture. They describe Hebrews as a unique combination of sermon and letter, mysterious in its origins, and rich with Old Testament references—especially around themes of sacrifice, holiness, and Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of those practices. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding Old Testament concepts to fully grasp Hebrews' arguments, as the author assumes the audience's familiarity with Jewish traditions and sacrificial systems.The hosts also explore the historical backdrop of the letter, suggesting it was likely written in the 60s AD during a period of persecution, possibly under Nero's reign. This pressure led some early Christians to consider returning to Jewish practices for safety, and Hebrews responds by affirming Jesus' superiority and the finality of His atoning sacrifice. They discuss the book's deep influence on Christian theology, worship, and liturgy—especially its focus on perseverance, Christ's role as the high priest, and the enduring importance of faith. For those wanting a deeper dive, they recommend John Calvin's accessible and insightful commentary on Hebrews and encourage listeners to engage with cross-references to fully appreciate the book's rich connection to the Old Testament.

In this podcast, Dr. Julie Canlis discusses her book "A Theology of the Ordinary”. Julie helps us see that a life can be beautifully and powerfully lived amongst the seemingly mundane and menial tasks and routines of life. Raising children. Growing a crop. Working in a factory. All spheres of life are ripe with providential possibilities where we can interact with God and grow in his likeness. Julie Canlis has her PhD in Theology from the University of St. Andrews and is currently a Sessional Lecturer at Regent College in Vancouver. She has also received a Templeton Prize and Christianity Today Award of Merit for her work on John Calvin.

Although the names of reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Wesley are pretty well known, the witness, theology, and work for unity done by Katharina Schutz Zell is lesser known. In this episode as we continue our series looking at people who lived out their faith in different ways, colleagues in ministry Sarah, Natalie, and Steve look at the life and work of this figure from Reformation history, and what her witness means for us in the age of social media and fragmented Christian denominations.

John Calvin descibres the human heart as an "idol factory," continually manufacturing images that try to fulfill desires in our hearts. However, the second commandment of the Ten Commandments directs us to not make idols of any kind. What do we as followers of God deal with this tension and surrender fully to him? In this week's Brooklyn Sunday message, Pastor Amy Perez invites us to reconsider our priorities and rediscover our true identity as image-bearers of God, designed to reflect His glory in the world.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about John Calvin. Mike digs into some of the things that made Calvin unique and how impacted our world today.

“If, by the mere guidance of nature, infidels are so prone to love their own, what must we think of those who are not moved by any such feeling? Do they not go even beyond the ungodly in brutality? …For, if any have degenerated from that which is so perfectly natural, he ought to be regarded as a monster.” -John Calvin

Welcome to the sixth episode of "Welcome to Reformed Theology." In this episode, Dale tackles some key questions about Calvinism: Is it biblical? Did it originate with John Calvin? And why do so many modern Christians wrestle with its concepts? Building on the last episode's discussion of God's sovereignty, this episode dives deeper into Calvinism—also known as the Doctrines of Grace—and its focus on God's sovereign control over salvation. Join us as we explore this vital attribute of God's throne, held uniquely and supremely by the one true God.
