Evan is once again joined by show producer Mike to answer your questions on finding Orthodox resources for healing broken marriages, what makes a good marriage, what good parental discipline looks like, how to navigate work schedule conflicts with church services, if catechesis should be postponed to address an addiction to nicotine, where to find Patristic writings on marriage, and why Orthodox evangelism seems different from Protestant evangelism.

Polycarp lived at a time when the early church was facing pressure from Rome, false teaching from within, and the growing challenge of preserving the message handed down by the apostles. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany look at the life of Polycarp of Smyrna, one of the Apostolic Fathers and a direct link to the Apostle John. They discuss his role as bishop of Smyrna, his influence on Irenaeus, his defense of apostolic truth, and his faithful witness even unto death. Chapters:01:00 Who Was Polycarp of Smyrna?Polycarp was one of the Apostolic Fathers, a bishop in Smyrna, and a direct link between the apostles and the next generation of Christian leaders.03:00 Polycarp's Connection to the ApostlesPolycarp was a disciple of the Apostle John and was known by Irenaeus as someone instructed by the apostles and connected to those who had seen Christ.05:00 The Apostolic FathersThe Apostolic Fathers were early Christian leaders who lived just after the apostles and helped guide the church through its first generations.08:30 False Teaching in the Early ChurchThe early church faced pressure from Rome on the outside and false teaching from within, including movements like Gnosticism and Marcionism.10:00 What Was Marcionism?Marcion rejected parts of Scripture and taught a divided view of God, claiming the Old Testament God and the God revealed by Jesus were different.15:00 Polycarp and IrenaeusPolycarp mentored Irenaeus and modeled how to stand firmly for truth while showing grace in secondary disagreements.17:30 Polycarp's ArrestRoman authorities arrested Polycarp when he was 86 years old and pressured him to deny Christ by offering incense to Caesar.20:00 The Martyrdom of PolycarpPolycarp refused to deny Jesus, declaring that Christ had never done him wrong and that he “Nearly 2,000 years later, we sit here and we still remember Polycarp, not because he was powerful or wealthy or famous. We remember him because he was faithful.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Irenaeus lived at a time when the church was being attacked from the outside by persecution and from the inside by false teaching.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany look at the life of Irenaeus, one of the early church's most important defenders of the gospel. Connected closely to the apostles through Polycarp, Irenaeus helped preserve apostolic teaching, confront the rise of Gnosticism, and guide the church with both truth and grace.Chapters:01:00 Who Was Irenaeus?Irenaeus was one of the most important Christian leaders of the second century. Closely connected to the apostles through Polycarp, his life is bridge between the New Testament church and the generations that followed.02:00 Asia Minor and the Early ChurchAsia Minor, located in what is now modern-day Turkey, played a major role in early church history03:30 Irenaeus' Connection to the Apostle JohnThe Apostle John taught Polycarp, Polycarp taught Irenaeus, placing Irenaeus only one generation removed from an eyewitness of Jesus Christ.05:00 Irenaeus in LyonAfter studying briefly in Rome, Irenaeus moved to Lyon in Gaul, modern-day France. There, he joined the leadership of a growing Christian congregation in one of the most important cities in Western Europe.07:30 Persecution in LyonWhile Irenaeus was away in Rome, severe persecution broke out against the Christians in Lyon. Nearly 50 believers were martyred, including Blandina, Sanctus, and the elderly bishop Pothinus.11:00 Irenaeus Becomes Bishop of LyonAfter returning from Rome, Irenaeus was chosen to replace Pothinus as bishop of Lyon. For the next 25 years, he shepherded the church, trained leaders, sent missionaries, and strengthened scattered congregations throughout the region.12:30 What Was Gnosticism?Gnosticism was one of the greatest challenges facing the early church. Many Gnostics believed that physical matter was evil, denied that Jesus truly became human, and claimed to possess secret knowledge unavailable to ordinary Christians.16:30 Irenaeus and Against HeresiesIrenaeus' most famous work, Against Heresies, exposed the errors of Gnostic teaching and defended the faith handed down from the apostles. His writings helped explain Christian doctrine clearly and earned him the title “the father of Christian theology.” 18:30 The Quartodeciman ControversyAnother major issue during Irenaeus' lifetime involved the timing of Easter. Rather than allowing a calendar disagreement to divide the church, Irenaeus urged believers to maintain fellowship where the gospel itself was not at stake.22:30 What Irenaeus Teaches Christians TodayStay rooted in apostolic truth, guard the gospel carefully, and pursue unity whenever possible. “Irenaeus fought fiercely for essential doctrines while showing remarkable charity to others in secondary matters.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Ignatius of Antioch lived so close to the time of the apostles that his life serves as a bridge between the New Testament church and the generations that followed.In this episode, Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston introduce listeners to Ignatius of Antioch, an early church leader whose courage, writings, and final journey to Rome continue to challenge and encourage Christians today.Ignatius was arrested for being a Christian and sentenced to die in the Roman arena. Yet instead of responding with panic or bitterness, his letters reveal confidence, joy, and unwavering hope in Christ. Through his story, we see the importance of church unity, the danger of false teaching, and the eternal perspective that has sustained believers through suffering for nearly 2,000 years.Chapters:01:00 Who Was Ignatius of Antioch?Ignatius of Antioch was one of the earliest and most influential leaders in church history. His life serves as a bridge between the New Testament church and the generations that followed.02:00 Antioch and the Early ChurchAntioch was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire and a major center for early Christian discipleship, missionary work, and church growth. It was also the city where followers of Jesus were first called Christians.05:15 Ignatius as Bishop of AntiochIgnatius served as the third bishop of Antioch, overseeing a network of house churches spread throughout the city and surrounding region. 07:00 Ignatius' Final Journey to RomeAfter being arrested for his faith, Ignatius was taken from Antioch to Rome to face execution in the arena. Along the way, believers came out to meet him, and hoped to rescue him from his fate.11:30 The Letters of IgnatiusDuring his journey to Rome, Ignatius wrote seven letters that still offer a valuable glimpse into the life of the early church. In them, he addressed church unity, false teaching, faithful leadership, suffering, and perseverance.13:30 Why Church History Still MattersStudying Ignatius reminds Christians that many of the challenges we face today are not new. The early church also dealt with fear, division, doctrinal confusion, cultural pressure, and suffering, yet Christ faithfully sustained His people.17:00 What Ignatius Teaches Us About Eternal HopeIgnatius' final journey points believers to a deeper question: Is Christ truly our greatest treasure? “Ignatius understood something profound; Death is not the end for the believer, and he submitted wholly to the will of God.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Despite the mystique of allegory, many Christians disagreed with the arbitrary character of Alexandrian biblical interpretation. A different style arose and became popular in Antioch. It eventually prevailed, largely due to its most famous proponent: St. John Chrysostom.

284 Intro Historical Theology: Why Church History MattersAfter the apostles died, the church did not disappear. It continued to preserve, defend, and pass down the truth once delivered to the saints. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany continue their historical theology series by introducing Clement of Rome, one of the earliest Apostolic Fathers. They explain why Clement matters, what his letter to the Corinthian church reveals about early Christian belief, and how his writings point believers back to Scripture, humility, unity, and justification by faith in Christ alone.00:55 What Is Historical Theology?Historical theology studies how Christian doctrine developed and was defended throughout church history.02:30 The Patristic PeriodAfter the death of the Apostle John, the church entered the patristic period, the era of the early church fathers.04:00 Who Were the Apostolic Fathers?The Apostolic Fathers include Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, Papias of Hierapolis, and several key early Christian writings, including The Didache, The Epistle of Barnabas, The Shepherd of Hermas, and The Epistle to Diognetus. 06:15 What Does Orthodoxy Mean?Orthodoxy means right belief, helping Christians distinguish true biblical doctrine from error.07:30 Preserving Apostolic TeachingAfter the apostles died, the church did not disappear. Early Christian leaders helped preserve and defend the teachings handed down to them.11:00 Who Was Clement of Rome?Clement of Rome was an early bishop who lived near the end of the first century and wrote an important letter to the church at Corinth.18:15 Justification by Faith in the Early ChurchClement clearly taught that salvation is not earned by human effort, but received by faith in Christ.20:30 What Clement Teaches Us TodayClement reminds believers to be shaped by Scripture, pursue unity, and trust in Christ alone for salvation.“ Studying historical theology should make us steadier. Clement reminds us that faithful Christians anchor themselves in scripture. We pursue humility.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston

Origen was the shining star of the 3rd century, the pride of the Church of Alexandria. Brilliant and celebrated, he authored thousands of books and influenced countless Fathers. So why was he eventually condemned? Music attribution: "Galway" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

In this episode of Christ the Center, we welcome Donald John MacLean, President of Westminster Seminary UK and trustee of the Banner of Truth Trust, for a rich conversation on James Walker's The Theology and Theologians of Scotland. Their discussion begins with an update on Westminster Seminary UK's move to Oxford and the remarkable ministry of the Reformed Colloquium in Budapest, where confessional Reformed believers from across Europe gather for fellowship, encouragement, and theological exchange. The heart of the episode focuses on Banner of Truth's newly expanded edition of Walker's classic work. MacLean explains why the book has served for decades as an indispensable guide to the Scottish theological tradition, opening up figures beyond the better-known names and tracing major themes in church history, ecclesiology, providence, the atonement, and church-state relations. Together, Camden and Donald John reflect on the historical setting of Scottish theology, the value of Walker's new footnotes and translations, and the abiding importance of visible church unity and Christ's headship over his church.

Please enjoy this interview with Stephen Presley!In the West, the term "God" has become virtually a placeholder, a moniker kept pristinely vacant. Even Christians have been known to treat the scriptures as butterflies to pin, probe and prod, comb and codify, until some "value" can be extracted. For the Church Fathers, things worked differently. They came to scripture armed with convictions about God, which in turn provided the framework and habitat in which they incubated their biblical theology and cultivated a genuinely ecclesial culture. What might it mean to retrieve patristic culture-craft — the formation of communal life that flowed from their inhabiting the Bible — in the midst of contemporary secular society?Join Sam Fornecker for a ⁠second⁠ conversation with Stephen Presley, Senior Fellow for Religion and Public Life at the Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy and associate professor of church history at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, on his recent book, ⁠Biblical Theology in the Life of the Early Church⁠ (Baker Academic, 2025), on how the Church can learn from our ancient grandparents the liturgical, sacramental, and storied habit of scriptural engagement necessary to renew the Church in her vocation of "culture-craft" today.Enjoying this podcast?

This talk will offer an introduction to the principle that Christ is not a human "person" but is fully human. The first half of the talk will explore how this is expressed in the foundational Patristic writers (especially Cyril of Alexandria), and then the other half will explain why this principle is essential to understanding that salvation flows from Christ's humanity. Because Christ is the person of the Word (with his humanity) we are saved by union with the Word's humanity.

Every Sunday, Catholics pray in the Creed, "He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father." Patristic and medieval theologians felt they had a concrete grasp of where the "heaven" Christ ascended to actually was, but their answers are all based on very outdated views of the cosmos. Modern discussions of the Ascension sometimes shy away from the question, to the point of "spiritualizing" the event and downplaying the physicality of Christ's present state. In this talk I will argue, first, that attempts to "weaken" the physicality of Christ's glorified body threaten our understanding of the resurrection and salvation, in general, and of the Eucharist in particular. Then, I will then look at medieval theories of the place of Christ's Ascension and point out that while modern science makes those specific ideas untenable, it also offers tools to imagine a real "place" for Christ's Glorified Body.

The Fathers shared certain basic assumptions about the Bible, including the belief that every detail in the Bible had a useful spiritual purpose. Even the most ordinary passage can convey deep insights if properly interpreted.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Drew Holland about his new book The Place of the Past: Historical Criticism's Role in Biblical Studies. We explore the role of history in Biblical interpretation. He defines both historical criticism and the goals of history as a discipline. We then examine how the Bible has been interpreted throughout the ages, starting with the ancient conception of history and going through Patristic, medieval, and modern methods of interpretation. He explains how historical criticism became more prominent through the Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment and why it became the dominant paradigm of interpretation in the 20th century. He then explains the pushback against historical criticism of the Bible both within and outside of the church, particularly by postmodernism, and how historical readings have endured critique. We then discuss the relationship between history and theology, the proper role of history in Biblical interpretation, and how historical criticism benefits the church. Media Referenced:The Place of the Past: https://a.co/d/daEDeFSDrew on X: @RevDrewHollandContact Drew: drew.s.holland@gmail.com The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Stop Waiting to Be “Ready”—Build a Holy Marriage Now.  The Patristic Nectar Marriage Conference 2025 was not a moment too soon - see real reactions!  What if marriage isn't just a contract, but a calling from God that shapes who we become?In this story-driven recap from a vibrant Christian marriage conference, we follow the journey from culture's delay tactics—“wait until you're perfect, richer, or have seen the world”—to a Christ-centered vision that treats marriage as the workshop of love.You'll hear why young couples are stepping into vows with courage, how Scripture frames marriage as a covenant and a living icon of Christ and the Church (Eph. 5), and why repentance isn't shame—it's the practical art of repair. Attendees share the relief of replacing unhelpful narratives with habits that actually build a home: daily prayer, honest conversation, small acts of service, and a church community that refuses to let money fears or perfectionism become a wall.What we cover:From “I'll marry when I'm perfect” to “I'm formed by the promises I keep.”Covenant over contract: why vows carry you when feelings fluctuate.Dying to self, daily: forgiving quickly, guarding unity, speaking the truth in love.Beauty with responsibility: welcoming children, stability, and the quiet strength that blesses families, neighborhoods, and churches.Practical rhythms you can start tonight—shared prayer, check-ins, budgeting as a team, and serving together.If you're engaged, newly married, or rethinking commitment, this conversation offers hope, tools, and a bigger purpose: marriage as a holy calling that forms us into Christlike love.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who's on the fence about marriage, and leave a quick rating or review—your words help others find a path toward faithful love.Visit Patristic Nectar and Father Josiah Trenham: https://patristicnectar.org/Questions about Orthodoxy?

We are recovering a Patristic humanity that will indeed reform our ideas about what it actually means to be saved. Not simply what we have been saved from, but far more significant is whom we have been saved for.   The Homestead Mobile - April 12th, 2024
