In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal invites you to consider Lot, Abraham's nephew. Lot lived with his daughters in the ancient city of Sodom, a place well known for its godlessness and immorality. Lot was not immune to his environment; the pagan society in which he lived impacted him negatively. Hence, when we consider Lot, we are in essence embarking on a path of self-reflection where you begin to consider how the world in which you live impacts how you think and what you do.As you meditate on Lot's example, ask yourself, “How does the story of Lot speak to me today? How does the nation, culture, city, town, or village in which I live persuade me to think and act like society at large? How am I like Lot?”

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will answer two listener questions. First, Philomena asks, “Why are human beings not satisfied?” Second, Thomas asks, “These days I am talking to an atheist about God. How can I convince him about the existence and meaning of God?”Anyone can write-in a question via our email address (info@wcsk.org).

The question Dr. Sadaphal will answer in this episode is, "What does the apostle Paul mean when he writes that 'all Israel will be saved'?”Is he implying that all ethnic descendants of Abraham­­ (past, present, and future) will become born again? Is he indicating that at some point in the future, there will be a national conversion of Israel? Or, is the apostle referring to something entirely different with his statement about all Israel being saved?Get clarity and meaningful answers about what the New Testament means when it speaks of the, "Israel of God."

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will use the story of Abram in Genesis 12 to provide biblical support for the claim that faith never has all the answers. Truly, what is not meant by that statement is that faith is blind, uninformed, or unreasonable, or that faith has reason to doubt. Biblical faith is always certain about God, His Word, and His trustworthiness. After all, faith is real and legitimate because of its object, Christ, who is eternal and does not change. Faith is, however, seldom certain about all things. Never having all the answers does not mean that you are in some way deficient or intellectually impaired; rather, it means you are humble enough to know that you are not God, and thus, you will never have all the answers.The believer ought to find comfort that even Abram, the father of the faithful, did not have all the answers. He did not know where was being led but trusted the One who was leading.

What is a firearm? It is a type of weapon, like a pistol or a rifle, from which a bullet is fired by means of gunpowder. Is it biblical for a Christian to own or use firearms? In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will answer this question.

If God isn't in charge of your salvation, then who is?That is to say, if someone were to believe that God is not sovereign in salvation, then that means God is not God. By implication that means you are in charge of your salvation, since you are the one who is in ultimate control of your eternal destiny.In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will provide a brief explanation of the doctrine of the sovereignty of God. Specifically, he will exposit the Scriptures to explain that God is sovereign in salvation. Finally, he will take the idea than man is sovereign in salvation and then take that argument all the way to its natural conclusion: that idea does not lead to freedom or hope but only utter ruin and despair.

When I say “alien,” what most people tend conjure up in their heads are images of Martians, little green men or odd-looking, super-intelligent beings from another planet. Yes, aliens are far more of a cultural phenomenon than a major biblical talking point, but in this podcast Dr. Sadaphal will provide answers to two questions: One, what does the Bible have to say about aliens? Two, are they real, secular hocus-pocus, or does the Bible suggest that so-called extraterrestrials are something far more sinister than non-humans from other planets?

This episode was prompted by a listener question. Stephen actually asked three interrelated questions. The first was, “In Luke 8:12, Jesus describes a type of person who hears the Word and then the devil snatches it away so that they do not believe and are not saved. The implication seems to be that if the devil did not snatch it away, the person would believe and be saved. How do we make sense of this category of person given total depravity?” Question number two was, “An extension of this question would be: why does the devil need to do any work to prevent a person from believing, if the human heart is already predisposed against the truth?” And question number three was, “If this category of person is part of the elect, why does God allow the devil to prevent their salvation?” In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal answers all three questions. He also explains who Jesus is, what a parable is and some general principles of proper Bible interpretation.

This present spiritual war isn't new in that the struggle began in the Garden of Eden by means of a weaponized lie. Satan's plan, of course, was to persuade Adam and Eve to believe his lie so that they would stop trusting God. His plan worked, and his strategy has remained unchanged since the Garden: to provide a deceptive alternative to God's truth so that people can believe in something else in place of God. Hence, there has been a conspiracy against God's truth since the beginning of time. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will expose three specific, modern manifestations of this conspiracy so that the people of God will be forewarned and thus forearmed. These three specific manifestations are State soteriology (or the government will save you), climate change and the digitization of life. The Scripture focus will be II Corinthians 10:3-6.

We live in an age of increasing anxiety, uncertainty and doubt. This means people are more receptive to believing in conspiracy theories because—at least superficially—said explanation provides the comfort of some mental security in an uncertain world. And, if a person can explain why bad things are happening, it outwardly gives them some sense of control over the uncontrollable.  Consequently, the question Dr. Sadaphal will answer in this episode is: How does a student of God's Word navigate a world seemingly overflowing with so-called conspiracies and conspiracy theories? That is, at times we are bombarded with so much information, it is becoming more difficult to arrive at a reasonable conclusion. One person's truth is another's conspiracy theory and one person's firmly-held belief is regarded by another as based on faulty information. So, what is child of God to do? The answer is go straight to God's Word.

Faith becomes unbelief whenever a disastrous theological error occurs: when the doctrine of justification (how a person is saved) is confused with the doctrine of sanctification (how an already saved person matures). We are not justified by faith alone and then become more like Christ by our works; that is Roman Catholicism, not biblical Christianity. Confusion of these two doctrines can lead sincere Christians down a road of despair and doubt; it also turns the pure gospel into an anti-gospel of works.Accordingly, in this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will discuss salvation, sanctification, the difference between the two and the dangers of getting them confused. He also exposits Romans 6 in order to discern God's way of becoming more like Christ.

The question of the eternal destiny of unborn children presents us with a profound theological challenge: Do all unborn children go to heaven? In this episode Dr. Sadaphal will guide you through the Scriptures to demonstrate one way of arriving at a reasoned conclusion to the question through biblical reflection. The true value of this exercise arises not from the passive reception of an answer but from witnessing one approach of "searching the Scriptures" through which you can develop sound biblical answers to all your tough questions. Our Scripture focus will II Samuel 12:16-23.

Christ, understanding the myriad challenges and concerns we might face—be it health, finances, or our general safety and security—offers guidance for combating anxiety in the Sermon on the Mount. What Jesus makes clear is that the root of the problem is not worry; rather, it is unbelief. Therefore, the legitimate cure for anxiety is a spiritual matter of faith.In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal performs an exposition of Matthew 6:25-34 and provides three practical applications on how you can apply the Scriptures in pursuit of a Holy-Spirit mediated, worry-free life.

In this special episode, Dr. Sadaphal shares three biblical observations on the current crisis in the Middle East.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells a famous parable. Said parable tends to be best known by the name, “The Prodigal Son.” Yet, what is evident is that the central character of the story is the not the son who returns, but rather the father who lovingly demonstrates unmerited favor to both of his sons. Accordingly, in the episode, Dr. Sadaphal will extract theological lessons and practical applications from the parable of the “Loving Father.” This wonderful story highlights divine love, forgiveness and joy over the lost who are found. 

Giving thanks or thanksgiving has power because it is a self-denying grace; it sets the mind and heart of the creature on the kindness of the Creator. Consequently, for the one whose lips are dripping with thanks, his heart will be filled with blessings. Accordingly, in this episode, Dr. Sadaphal seeks to stir your soul to thankfulness by bringing three observations from Scripture to your attention. These observations testify to the power of thanks.

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal recalls the events leading up to the conversion of his father-in-law, who was born again in the last few weeks of his life. Dr. Sadaphal subsequently mines wisdom from the experience of the death of a loved in order to provide five penetrating life lessons. Truly, the living take death to heart for the end of all people increases our receptivity to God while muting all those other things that don't ultimately matter. Our Scripture focus will be Ecclesiastes 7:1-2.

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal challenges Christians to think about their relationship to modern technology because in his view, the technologies that we use are quickly becoming an ecosystem that we can't escape. Consequently, he equips listeners with the biblical foundation necessary to answer the following question: Can I find a life of faith within a world of amplified human possibility?In addition, Dr. Sadaphal will also help you to construct a basic biblical worldview of AI so that whatever path the future takes, you will be equipped with guiding principles. Finally, he explains the secular worldview behind transhumanism and the implications of this ideology for the person who seeks to think and act biblically.

This is a replay (November 2018) of one of the most downloaded episodes in the 8-year history of the WCSK podcast. This "short" answers a specific question based on a brief Bible passage. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal asks, "If the gospel tells the story of the 'good news' then how does the story end?" What is the ultimate conclusion of our Christian experience? What is the point of everything? Our Scripture focus will come from Romans 5:6-11.

 Is there a sin that is so heinous and egregious that the one who commits it is not and shall never be forgiven? The Bible speaks of only one such sin, called the unforgiveable sin. The matter is clearly an important one for the Lord saw it necessary to mention it three times in the New Testament: in Matthew 12:22-32, Mark 3:28-30, and Luke 12:8-10. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will explain what the unforgiveable sin is and what it is not. The great hope for any Christian is that if you are worried if you have committed it, you can be certain you are not guilty of it. Our Scripture focus will be Matthew 12:22–32.

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal equips Christians to think and act biblically when is comes to living amidst the tension of two kingdoms: of God and of the world. Specifically, he uses Dr. Sam Waldron's book, Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition, as a foundation and guide to develop answers to five critical questions:(1)  What is the specific sphere of the State's authority?(2) How does the Christian respond when the State exceeds its lawful jurisdiction?(3) How should the Christian think about the State: positively, negatively or neutral?(4) How should the Church engage the State?(5) In the United States, does Romans 13 guide us on how to vote?Gain crucial perspectives for both the Church and the individual Christian as they navigate through the perplexing ethical and societal questions that have recently emerged that have put Christ and compliance in opposition.

John Owen once wrote, "Be killing sin or sin will be killing you." So, every true Christian will be killing sin. But how? How does a Christian kill sin according to the Scriptures? These are the questions Dr. Sadaphal will provide answers for in this episode. The hope for any child of God is that after Yahweh saves a person, He does not leave them alone. He stays with them and perseveres them until the end. Some of the wonderful treasures the Lord has provided for your sanctification are the promises of God. The Holy Spirit works through the divine promises and cooperatively enables and empowers you to mortify sin. Hence, a crucial key to a believer's sanctification are the promises of God. The power of the promises are made manifest when a Christian trusts the promise-Maker, God, who has sent the Holy Spirit who work in and on us to fulfill those promises, making us more like Jesus.Our Scripture focus will be II Peter 1:4.

The Reformation axiom, "Scripture interprets scripture" speaks to the idea that when interpreting the Bible, we allow God to speak for Himself by using His own words. This is a faithful approach that enables the Christian to rightly handle the Word of Truth. If Scripture does not interpret scripture, then something else will: for example, personal desire, a political ideology or ignorance. This is an unfaithful approach that emboldens the wicked to pervert the Word of the Truth.How then can a Bible student be faithful and discern what God is trying to say in His Word? By sticking close to three basic principles of Bible interpretation. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will discuss all three.

In this special Christmas edition of WCSK, you will hear a sermon from Dr. Sadaphal preached in December 2018. In this message, learn what Christmas is really about. Our Scripture focus will be from Luke 1:26-33. There, the angel Gabriel tells the virgin Mary that she will conceive a baby boy in her womb. The angel also makes five prophecies about baby Jesus that look into His life, His public ministry and to the end of time. Jesus is the Son of the Most High then, now and forever.

In this special Christmas edition of WCSK, you will hear a sermon from Dr. Sadaphal preached in December 2017 titled, "The Day Joy Was Born." Christmas is a time where many things are celebrated, but the real meaning of Christmas is bigger than trees, gifts or any natural festivities. In this sermon, learn who the Prince of Peace is, why He was born, what He came to do, and why the birth of the Messiah was the day when true heavenly joy was born. Our Scripture Focus will be Luke 2:8-14

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal continues to provide listeners with a biblical framework on how to think about innate human freedom.Here, he develops biblical answers to the questions: What happens when one person's freedom to choose comes in conflict with another person's conscience? What is the amicable solution? In particular, he applies the answers to these questions to the issue of individual autonomy and vaccination. That is, cognizant that all people have bodily autonomy and freedom to choose, what is the loving thing to do when my choice bothers the conscience of my neighbor? If given the option to vaccinate, would it be loving to sacrifice my medical freedom for the sake of my neighbor? How can a person who declines vaccination (against anything) respond to being called irresponsible, selfish, foolish and a threat to others? Are those who decline arrogantly and brazenly exercising their “freedom” at the expense of those around them? And, if my free choice conflicts with the will of an organization or the State, does that entity have a right to impose a vaccine mandate? This episode provides clarity and meaningful answers to these questions.

This episode makes a theological argument for the inherent freedom of all human beings: this includes, but is not limited to, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of choice.A proper biblical understanding of human freedom is necessary cognizant of many sweeping changes in our world where people have lost (or are losing) their ability to think critically with the full breadth of information, to speak out in dissent or to make their own uncoerced life choices. Dr. Sadaphal provides clarity for believers who need a biblical framework to understand how God made people to live and how that plays out in the midst of living under a godless secular authority that forces people to live how it wants.What is at stake is more than (for example) freedom to refuse a vaccine or to congregate as a church; what is at stake is everything: an attempted de-Christianization of the West and the rise of Satanic totalitarianism. What is not exceptional is that authorities are trying to grab more power by force. What is exceptional is that people have forgotten who they are (free and image bearers of God) and have persistently adapted and normalized to a reality in which power simply is; these same people cannot imagine alternatives.The Word Against the World (Nick Sabato, for Apple devices): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sermons/id730637211?i=1000530669058Other devices: https://www.ns-bc.org/sermons/sermon/2021-08-01/the-word-against-the-world-2-timothy-314-17

In this practical "how-to" episode, Dr. Sadaphal explains how you can use a religious exemption to opt-out of COVID-19 vaccine mandates at your job or school. He provides three lines of biblical reasoning that may help to support an individual's decision not to consent.

The Judaism of the modern world is a religion separate and distinct from the Judaism of the ancient world, pre-Christ.  The former is an idolatrous faith that rejects Jesus while the latter anticipated the coming Messiah. The former is based on the traditions of men, the latter was based on the Word of God. Accordingly, in this episode, Dr. Sadaphal provides three reasons why modern Judaism is not biblical Judaism. Being aware of such distinctions will equip you with the clarity needed to cultivate a discerning, biblical worldview. Our Scripture focus will be John 5:45.

Many adjectives can be used to describe the year that 2020 has been, but one that comes close to capturing the essence of it all is "disruptive." The world has been disrupted on many different levels and it would seem as if many different things are collapsing simultaneously. But, what if there was a big, central narrative that animated all the diverse and chaotic smaller narratives? What if I told you nearly 100 years ago, a man by the name of Antonio Gramsci developed an ideological strategy to essentially destroy Western civilization by going to war against biblical Christianity and replacing it with a Satanic false religion? What if I told you we are seeing that war play out before our very eyes and the only way to know and prepare for what's coming next is to know what the endgame is? This is an episode of WCSK that you cannot miss. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 2. Link: https://mises.org/wire/antonio-gramsci-greatest-political-strategist-history

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to not be angry; how to not "lose your temper" or to "explode" based on something small. Not being angry is important because wrath not only destroys those around you, it is also self-destructive. His explanation ends by providing three practical strategies that anyone can follow. Our Scripture focus will be Ephesians 4:26.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to get out from the darkness of addiction and step into the fullness of life associated with pleasing God. There are no addicts in the kingdom of heaven so if you (or someone you know) is living in the sin of addiction, then this is an episode not to miss. In the end, it is only by the power of God that we are transformed into new people who are not enslaved to addiction but free to live for the Lord. Our Scripture focus will be I Corinthians 6:9-11.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal talks about the doctrine of providence, or the biblical concept that God orders and maintains everything to bring about His will for His glory. This means things like "fate" or "chance" are not real, and even when life seems "messy" God is provident and is actively involved to bring about His decrees. This has three important applications for your everyday life. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 107:43 (KJV).

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to stop being consumed by fear and how to not be intimidated by situations, things or other people.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains why Calvinism matters: because it neatly clarifies that God is sovereign in salvation, therefore He is the One who determines how you get saved. Also, because it points directly to Christ, the only Mediator between God and man. Calvinism begets a right understanding of the Lord, which honors and maximally glorifies Him, while saturating a person with happiness, joy, delight, confidence, reassurance and comfort. Our Scripture focus will be I Chronicles 29:11-12.

This episode is a replay of one of the most listened to and downloaded episodes in the history of the podcast. In this program (from April 2016), Dr. Sadaphal explains the grand "meta narrative" of the whole Bible. The Bible is a love story about a loving Father incessantly chasing after His children. It is a story that has lots of characters, ups and downs, and twists and turns, but ultimately is a story about redemption and the steps a loving God has taken to restore a broken relationship with the lost. Answered: Why would a God who is holy take steps to save sinful creatures? How can a God who cannot tolerate sin justly forgive sinners? This is not an episode that you want to miss. Get the grand story arc of the Bible in 15 minutes. You have never heard the Bible like this before.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. Here, Dr. Sadaphal explains three attributes of God: His kindness, His tolerance and His patience. By design, the demonstration of these leads the elect to repentance, or a "change of mind" that begets turning away from sin. Yet for the Jew who is hostile to the gospel, he rejects God's kindness and remains unrepentant. This leaves him guilty and without excuse. It also leaves any modern person who rejects the gospel guilty and without excuse. Guilty people need a Redeemer, which is why the gospel is of first importance. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 2:4.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal begins to unpack the apostle Paul's foundation upon which he levies an accusation against the Jews: that God judges according to the truth. This means no person's sin will be treated in a special way; even more, the judgment that God renders is inescapable. Because divine justice is perfect, it leaves everyone without excuse, so argumentation is futile. This means all men are in desperate need of a Savior. Additionally, discussed as an aside: the reality of divine justice creates meaningful ethics now. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 2:1-3.

This episode is a replay of one of the most listened to and downloaded episodes in the history of the podcast: a short from November 12th, 2018. Here, Dr. Sadaphal answers many crucial questions: What is the end of the gospel? What is the point of your life? Why do you read your Bible and pray? Why do you listen to this podcast? Why do you get up in the morning? Why bother with anything at all? In other words, what is the point of everything? Our Scripture verse will be Romans 5:6-11.

WCSK series seven is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Proverbs. Here, Dr. Sadaphal exposits Lady Wisdom's first speech in the book. Indeed, wisdom is calling but can you recognize her voice when she speaks? How do you discern the voice of wisdom in a world filled with noise, opinions, deception and endless empty talk? Accordingly, this episode provides six ways of how to recognize wisdom. Being able to make this distinction is of utmost importance because wisdom leads to life and happiness, folly leads to calamity and sorrow. Our Scripture focus will be Proverbs 1:20-33.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Reverend Sadaphal discusses further the effects of man's suppression of truth and God's subsequent expression of wrath. Accordingly, idolatry begets immorality, specifically manifested as homosexual acts of fornication. Dr. Sadaphal delivers a frank and sober analysis of modern culture which tends to champion sexual freedom. This is not freedom at all but rather a manifestation of God's wrath. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:26-27.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Reverend Sadaphal begins to unpack the effects of suppressing the truth about God: not honoring God as God, ingratitude, futile speculations and a darkened heart. In doing so, Dr. Sadaphal also explains what idolatry is, how it works and why it is so attractive. The apostle Paul's description of "exchanging" the glory of God for an idol essentially explains all religions since the beginning of time and why men flock to them. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 1:21-23.
