How should Christians navigate real-life questions about faith, family, dating, and church differences—especially when Catholic and Protestant worlds overlap?In this Q&A episode, Emily joins Mark to wrap up the “Why Protestantism?” series by moving from theology to wisdom. Mark responds to practical questions that surface after discussing Catholic and Protestant differences, particularly for those who grew up Catholic, have Catholic family members, or are navigating close relationships across traditions. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes starting with the gospel itself—personal faith in Christ—before addressing church affiliation, practices, or tradition.Mark also tackles sensitive topics like honoring Catholic parents, engaging family conversations with humility, dating across theological traditions, and how to approach disagreements with both clarity and charity. He concludes by addressing questions about biblical authority and the Catholic canon, explaining how Protestants understand Scripture, canon formation, and the ongoing need for reform within the church. The episode closes with a hopeful reminder that Christian unity matters deeply, even as real differences remain.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introducing the Q&A: moving from theology to pastoral wisdom 02:00 — The foundational question: what truly saves a person? 03:30 — Can someone be a genuine Christian within the Catholic Church? 05:50 — When gospel clarity matters for spiritual growth and church health 06:45 — Honoring Catholic family members without compromising conviction 08:00 — “Show and tell” vs. “argue and yell”: a wiser approach to family conversations 10:05 — Dating across traditions: when differences become directional conflicts 11:00 — Mark's 0–5 dating framework and why long-term direction matters 15:30 — Why Mark advises against serious dating between Catholics and Protestants 16:45 — Do Catholics have a different Bible?

Ce este mulțumirea potrivit Bibliei și de ce ne cheamă Dumnezeu să fim mulțumitori chiar și în momente grele? Cum arată o inimă mulțumitoare și ce spune Scriptura despre recunoștință în încercări? În acest mesaj biblic, Slavic Crîlov explică sensul adevăratei mulțumiri și modul în care această atitudine schimbă relația noastră cu Dumnezeu.

Wat 'n voorreg om terug te kyk op 2025!   Die jaar het so baie op gelewer en so vinnig verby gevlieg, maar die Scriptura span het reekse en episodes gepubliseer wat ons eie verbeelding oortref het.   AAN GOD AL DIE EER, want in werklikheid was dit episode vir episode, 'n groot genade.  En alles het uitgewerk soos dit moes, en ons is baie dankbaar dat die ses broers in die Here al vir 'n volle agt jaar elke week saam gesels oor die Woord van ons wonderlike God. Die bediening bereik duisende mense regoor die wereld, want God het dit so laat gebeur.  Hy gebruik nederige mense om Sy evangelie van redding wêreldwyd te versprei.   En dit het 'n baie positiewe impak op die predikers en aanbieders self, en op die luisteraars, asook op die werkers in die agtergrond meegebring.  Ons bedank elkeen wat geluister en gekyk het, en die episodes met vriende en familie gedeel het, want dit is ook natuurlik die uitvloeisel van die aanraking van die Woord van God in elke hart.   Die liefde van God is soos 'n vuur en dit steek harte aan die brand, en ons kan dit nie vir onsself hou nie. Bid asseblief vir die volgehoue en getroue verkondiging van die Here se kosbare woord, en vir die bediening om voort te gaan om nog meer mense te bereik vir God se koninkryk.

Scriptura gesels oor wanbesteding en skuld, natuur- en wildbewaring kwessies, en laastens ook oor die G20 konferensie se skynheilige voorhou dat ons huis in order is voor die wêreld.  

What is prima scriptura? What does it mean to believe in the primacy of Scripture? Does the Roman Catholic Church hold to prima scriptura?

In Perspektief - Oktober 2025 gesels Scriptura oor ernstige nuusgebeure van die afgelope maand.  Pous Leo en koning Charles III bid saam vir die eerste keer in 500 jaar, en die stryd teen die Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Rights Commission (CRL) waarmee die Suid-Afrikaanse regering poog om kerke te reguleer.  En laastens het die Grootte kerk in Kaapstad 'n intergeloof byeenkoms gehou vir die geregtigheid van Palistyne wat in die oorlog in Gaza vasgevang is.

Tres hombres. Una sola Palabra. Hoy descubrimos cómo Zwinglio, Calvino y Knox transformaron la iglesia y la sociedad al volver a la autoridad de las Escrituras. Tres voces distintas, un mismo mensaje: la Palabra de Dios basta para reformar corazones, iglesias y naciones enteras.

Questions about whether or not it's reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines were influenced by the fallen nature of the apostles, and how to defend sola Scriptura to Roman Catholics who argue that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture.   How much of the apostles' fallen nature influenced their choice of words and how they communicated? Is it reasonable to worry that some of our current doctrines came from their just getting annoyed or impatient with someone and wording something too harshly? How do I defend sola Scriptura to my Roman Catholic family members in light of passages like 1 Thessalonians 2:13 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15, which seem to imply that oral tradition carries as much weight as Scripture?

Scripture: Matthew 14:34-36

In die afgelope week het 'n amptelike brief van die Gereformeerde Kerk Nelspruit aan 'n lid van die gemeente opslae gemaak. Die brief handel oor kerklike betrokkenheid en die verantwoordelikheid wat belydende lidmate het teenoor die gemeenskap van gelowiges. In hierdie opname gesels die Scriptura-span oor die inhoud van die brief, die Bybelse beginsels agter kerklike tug en waarom ware gemeenskap in Christus nie bloot 'n formaliteit is nie, maar 'n lewende roeping.

The Danger of “Just Me and My Bible” ChristianityAnchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins – July 31, 2025In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses a subtle but spiritually dangerous mindset: “It's just me and my Bible—I don't need the church or theological voices to help me.”Listen or WatchEpisode SummaryDave walks through the dangers of interpreting Scripture in isolation, disconnected from church history, sound teachers, and the local body of Christ.

Scripture: Matthew 12:43-45

31 Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.Judaei ergo ( quoniam parasceve erat) ut non remanerent in cruce corpora sabbato ( erat enim magnus dies ille sabbati), rogaverunt Pilatum ut frangerentur eorum crura, et tollerentur. 32 The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.Venerunt ergo milites : et primi quidem fregerunt crura, et alterius, qui crucifixus est cum eo. 33 But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.Ad Jesum autem cum venissent, ut viderunt eum jam mortuum, non fregerunt ejus crura, 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.sed unus militum lancea latus ejus aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua. 35 And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.Et qui vidit, testimonium perhibuit : et verum est testimonium ejus. Et ille scit quia vera dicit : ut et vos credatis. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.Facta sunt enim haec ut Scriptura impleretur : Os non comminuetis ex eo. 37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.Et iterum alia Scriptura dicit : Videbunt in quem transfixerunt.The Sacred Heart of our Lord is opened on the Cross by the soldier's lance to manifest to us His Love.

Scripture: Philemon 17-25

Discover why the Bible is "God-breathed," inspired, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient for every season of the Christian life in this expository message on 2 Timothy 3:10-17. Drawing on church history, Reformation theology, and practical hermeneutics, guest preacher Dr. John Wiers shows how Scripture alone (sola Scriptura) equips believers for sanctification, perseverance, and spiritual discernment—especially during persecution, suffering, and cultural confusion. You'll learn: * how Paul's charge to Timothy grounds our faith in the authority of Scripture rather than tradition or pop psychology; * what "all Scripture is breathed out by God" means for inspiration, inerrancy, and biblical interpretation; * why sound doctrine and Christ-centered application are inseparable; * practical steps for reading, memorizing, and applying God's Word in tough times today. Perfect for anyone searching for solid teaching on the sufficiency of the Bible, the reliability of God's Word, and living a godly life in a hostile world. Watch now and be equipped "that the man or woman of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished for every good work."

In die derde episode van die reeks gesels Scriptura oor vrae 6 tot 8, wat handel oor geslagtelikheid, transgenderteorieë, en God se skeppingsorde. Hoekom moet ons God se plan en doel met die twee geslagte vertrou? Het God enige foute gemaak met die skepping van 'n persoon se geslag, en wat het na die sondeval verkeerd geloop? Kan dit wees dat iemand in die verkeerde lyf gebore is? Wat is die gnostiese en mistieke idees oor geslagtelikheid? Is liggaam en gees veronderstel om geintegreerd te wees? Kan identiteit in geslag en geslagtelikheid gevind word?

What comes after deconstruction? In this episode, we talk with AJ Swoboda—pastor, professor, and author of After Doubt and A Teachable Spirit—about why doubt has become so common, why it shouldn't be the end of the story, and how real spiritual formation takes shape in our lives.  We explore:  The limits of “just me and my Bible” Christianity  A fresh take on sola Scriptura from a Protestant perspective  Why we all carry traditions—whether we admit it or not  The value of humility and a teachable spirit  Why formation is slower—but deeper—than deconstruction  With humor, honesty, and pastoral wisdom, AJ offers a compelling vision for rebuilding faith that can last.  AJ Swoboda is a pastor, theologian, and author who teaches Bible, theology, and Christian formation at Bushnell University. He is also co-host with Nijay Gupta of the Slow Theology podcast. Find out more about AJ's books, writing, and socials at https://ajswoboda.com/.

Scripture: Philemon 1-7

In episode twee van die nuwe Kategismus vir Menslike Seksualiteit, gesels Scriptura oor die skeppingsdoel en opdrag vir die mens. Die volgende vrae se antwoorde word uiteengesit: Wat is die geslagte waarmee God die mens geskape het?  Wat vereis God deur ons na Sy beeld te skep, en ook hoekom het God die mens as man of vrou na Sy beeld geskape?

THE Doctrine of SOLAS SCRIPTURA means that as a Christian, we believe, trust, and follow in the biblical Scriptures alone plus nothing.

Scripture: Matthew 12:22-32

Fr. Andrew Crabtree grew up Baptist, but got involved in more nondenominational congregations as a young man. He began touring as a Christian musician, having radio success with his band "Calling Glory." His experience of playing concerts in different denominations got him thinking about the divisions in Christianity, and he began to long for Christian unity. While studying at a Wesleyan university, his concept of sola Scriptura began to crumble, and he felt deeply drawn to the Catholic Faith. He entered the Church in 2015, and shortly thereafter began formation for the priesthood.

Matt Swaim, Ken Hensley, and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. Kenny Burchard shares a list of some key things that the Bible can't tell you using only the principle of sola Scriptura, and Matt Swaim shares how Flannery O'Connor helped him see that the Right of Private Judgment can lead to Gnosticism.

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. Matt, Ken, and Kenny spent previous episodes looking at whether or not the Reformation doctrine of "sola Scriptura" is workable, whether or not it is taught in the Bible, and whether or not it reflects early Christian faith and practice. In this episode, they look at one more category: Is "sola Scriptura" logical? Does it even make sense?

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. Matt, Ken, and Kenny look back at the history of the early Church to ask some key questions about "sola Scriptura." For instance, why did it take so many centuries for the Church to formalize the New Testament? And if "sola Scriptura" was the belief and practice of the early Church, why do the most ancient Christian creeds make no mention of it?

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. The two passages of Scripture most often cited in defense of sola Scriptura are the account of the "noble Bereans" in Acts 17, and Paul referring to Scripture as "God-breathed" in 2 Timothy 3:16. But do these passages truly teach sola Scriptura, or are there better ways to understand them?

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. In this episode, they discuss whether the case for "sola Scriptura" is something that is clear from the teachings of Scripture itself, or whether one has to come at Scripture already having a "sola Scriptura" mindset in order to argue that Scripture teaches "sola Scriptura."

  We're taking a short break this week from our series on sola Scriptura to invite you to a special event, exclusively for Protestant pastors who have become -- or are thinking seriously about becoming -- Catholics. There are certain things that only clergy converts to Catholicism can truly relate to -- such as planning your last sermon before resigning from ministry. In this episode, Ken and Kenny share how that last sermon played out for each of them, as well as who they were most afraid to tell about their decision to become Catholic, and which pastor convert was most helpful to them personally as they entered the Church. The uniqueness of this shared experience among clergy converts highlights why we are so excited to be able to partner with the St. Paul Center for a special conference designed exclusively for converts to the Catholic Faith whose background in Protestant ministry, academia, or the mission field had to be left behind when they became Catholic. The event will take place May 30-June 1 at the St. Paul Center in Steubenville, OH, near the campus of Franciscan University. We're keeping the event small so everyone can have a chance to talk to everyone else and share experiences, but many of the names of those involved are ones you already know: Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. John Bergsma, Msgr. Jeffrey Steenson, and of course, Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard, all of whom served as Protestant pastors of some kind before becoming Catholic. If you're a Catholic convert from a professional ministry background, we'd love to see you there! Please reach out to us if you're interested. More information: chnetwork.org/clergyconference We'll be back next week with another episode in our ongoing series on sola Scriptura!

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. In the last episode, Matt, Ken, and Kenny discussed how "sola Scriptura" was clearly not the authority model followed by the early Church. But are there any clues in the writings of the New Testament that indicate whether or not the apostles expected "sola Scriptura" to be the norm for the generations of Christians that followed them?
