Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark discusses Heinrich Bullinger's Teaching on the Lord's Supper supported from documents such as Consensus Tigurinus and the Second Helvetic Confession.

Building on last week's conversation with Daniel Hill, I spoke with David Emerton about his systematic theological approach to ecclesiology. He outlines key distinctions between divine essence and human agency and uses these to frame four models of the church. David proposes a concept he calls "ecclesiological ecclesiology," which reframes how we talk about and live out what it means to be the church—before we jump into doing church.Youtube - https://youtu.be/7M4Gjl-Vtr8Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Types of Ecclesiology, Five Theological Approaches - David Emerton If you are interested in learning more about my two video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit courses.andymilleriii.comAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon!

Theological Reflection – Recapitulation What if everything broken was being gathered back together—right now? In this special episode, we reflect on the beautiful mystery of Recapitulation, the ancient Christian hope that in Jesus, God is rewriting the human story, not from the outside, but from within. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ gathers up the pieces of our lives, our world, and our history, making all things new. It's not just about going back—it's about moving forward in Him. Come and rest in this mystery with us.
What Is Fornication? A Biblical and Theological AnswerBy Dave Jenkins In this edition of Anchored in the Word, we answer the question, “What is fornication?” We'll explore what Scripture teaches, why this sin matters so deeply, and how Christians can walk in holiness and purity through Christ.What the Bible Says About FornicationThe Greek word porneia in the New Testament refers to all kinds of sexual immorality outside of marriage. This includes premarital sex, adultery, and more.1 Corinthians 6:18–20 — Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit; we are called to glorify God with them.Matthew 5:27–28 — Jesus warns that even lust in the heart is sinful.Theology Behind FornicationSexual purity isn't just moral—it's theological. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the Church. Fornication distorts that picture.Ephesians 5:31–32 — Marriage mirrors Christ's covenant with His Bride.1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 — God's will is our sanctification through sexual purity.Practical Steps to Fight FornicationGuard your heart and mind — Matthew 5:28, Psalm 119:11Seek accountability — James 5:16Flee temptation — 1 Corinthians 6:18God calls us not just to resist sin but to flee from it. In Christ, we find both the power and the grace to do so.ConclusionFornication is a serious offense against God, but His grace is greater. In Christ, there is forgiveness, healing, and power to walk in holiness. Let us pursue purity—not to earn God's love, but because we've already received it through Christ.“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” — 1 Corinthians 6:20 Frequently Asked Questions What is fornication according to the Bible? Fornication refers to sexual activity outside of biblical marriage. The Greek word porneia includes premarital sex, adultery, and other sexual immorality that violates God's design for purity. Is fornication different from adultery? Yes. Fornication refers to sexual sin outside of marriage, while adultery specifically refers to sexual sin committed by someone who is married with someone who is not their spouse. Can God forgive fornication? Yes. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, God offers full forgiveness and transformation. 1 John 1:9 assures us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us. Why is fornication considered a sin in Christianity? Fornication distorts God's design for sex within the covenant of marriage. It violates God's commands and dishonors the body, which belongs to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:13–20). What are the consequences of fornication according to Scripture? The Bible warns that sexual sin has both spiritual and relational consequences. It defiles the body, damages trust, and leads to judgment unless repented of (Hebrews 13:4, Galatians 5:19–21). How can someone overcome a struggle with fornication? Through repentance, accountability, renewing the mind in God's Word, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, believers can overcome sexual sin and grow in holiness (Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–24). What does the Bible say about sexual purity? The Bible calls all believers to pursue sexual purity as part of sanctification. God's will is for Christians to honor Him with their bodies and flee all sexual immorality (1 Thessalonians 4:3–5). Is there grace for those who have committed fornication? Yes. God's grace through Jesus Christ is greater than all sin. Those who confess and turn from fornication will be forgiven, cleansed, and restored (1 John 1:9; Psalm 51:10). Is it still considered fornication if two people are engaged? Yes. According to Scripture, sexual relations are reserved for marriage alone. Engagement is a promise, not a covenant, and sex outside of marriage remains sin in God's eyes. Does fornication affect one's relationship with God? Yes. Like all sin, fornication creates a barrier in fellowship with God. However, repentance and confession restore that fellowship through grace (Isaiah 59:2; 1 John 1:9).

In this conversation, Paul Weaver interviews John West about his journey from academia to the Discovery Institute, discussing the concept of 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity' and its implications for modern Christian leaders and institutions. West critiques the shift in evangelical institutions away from biblical inerrancy and highlights the historical context of modernism and fundamentalism. He emphasizes the need for a robust defense of biblical truth and the dangers of theological liberalism, particularly in light of contemporary figures like Andy Stanley and Mike Licona.-John West shares his journey from Seattle Pacific University to the Discovery Institute.-The concept of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity explains how Christians can align with secular culture.-Many evangelical institutions are drifting away from biblical truth.-Historical context shows that the theological compromise is not new.-The need for genuine Christian higher education is crucial for future generations.-Biblical authority is central to the health of evangelicalism.-Critiques of contemporary leaders like Andy Stanley and Mike Licona highlight issues with biblical authority.-Mike Licona's views on "flexible inerrancy" raise major concerns. -The importance of calling out theological liberalism in evangelical circles.-A lack of pushback against liberal theology is troubling for the future of the church.00:00 Introduction01:55 Dr. West's Journey and Institutional Changes04:55 Understanding Stockholm Syndrome Christianity10:06 Historical Context of Modernism and Fundamentalism15:10 Symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity19:57 Critique of Contemporary Christian Leader - Andy Stanley23:39 Critique of Christian Scholar - Mike Licona 29:50 The Future of Evangelical Institutions

Read the original letter: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/p/to-a-woman-who-lost-several-childrenIn this episode, Dr. Jacobs reads aloud a deeply personal letter written to "Etheline," a woman who had lost several children and sought theological perspective on suffering. The letter explores three key Eastern patristic doctrines: the distinction between God's antecedent and consequent will, the doctrine of synergy and divine energies, and Christ's descent into Hades. Dr. Jacobs applies these theological frameworks to questions of child loss, divine goodness, and God's presence in suffering. The letter demonstrates how Eastern Orthodox theology addresses the problem of evil through a lens of divine pursuit and redemptive purpose.All the links: X: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastSubstack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Website: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/Academia: https://vanderbilt.academia.edu/NathanAJacobs

294 – Are you tired of all the theological debates?Social media is full of people from different churches "explaining" why their theology is right and everyone else's theology is wrong. The basic problem is they are defining what it means to be a true Christian by doctrinal beliefs instead of actually living the teachings of Jesus in their daily lives.This mistake has gone on for at least 1,700 years. It's time to stop the theological debate mindset, trying to prove you are right.In this week's episode I talk about:The attitude behind this urge to debate and condemn everyone who disagrees with you theologically It's not how Jesus wants you to share your faithHow to interact with someone who's trying to debate with youAnd most importantly, a more effective way to share your faithJesus didn't prove he was the Messiah by his words. He told people to look at what he was doing, because what he did was fulfilling the Messianic prophecies.We need to follow his example. Quit trying to prove you are a Christian, or disprove someone else is, based on doctrines and theology. Let people see how you are following in Jesus's footsteps in healing and blessing mankind.

Jesus was fully divine, yet Luke 2:52 says He "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God." How is this possible?

Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark discusses differing view held about the Lord's Supper and the biblical understanding of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver discusses the concept of the pre-tribulational rapture, providing nine reasons for this belief based on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians. The episode also explores the distinction between the rapture and the second advent, the sequence of eschatological events, and the role of the Holy Spirit as the restrainer.-What you really believe determines how you really behave. -The rapture is the very next event in God's timetable.-We are to be eager in anticipating this event. -We do not grieve like those who have no hope. -The return of Christ is imminent.-We are not appointed to wrath.-The restrainer must be removed prior to the tribulation.-The distinction between the rapture and the second advent is crucial.

In today's fragmented Christian landscape, tribal loyalties sometimes overshadow biblical truth. At Disciple Nations Alliance, we're frequently asked where we fit theologically. The answer? We don't wear a denominational jersey—and that's by design. In this episode, we unpack why choosing Scripture over systems isn't theological compromise but an emphasis on the heart of God's mission.Rather than aligning with a single tradition, we stand on clear, foundational truths: Jesus is King, His kingdom is advancing, and His method is disciple-making through the Church—holistically and incarnationally—grounded in a biblical worldview. These truths transcend denominational lines and unify believers from Pentecostals in Latin America to Anglicans in Africa.This conversation is a call to elevate Scripture above interpretive frameworks, to approach theology with humility and charity, and to focus on telling the full biblical story.Make a matching gift donation by June 10!View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama

I'm interrupting my series on the Medieval Crusades to think with you about the question, why do Christian Colleges always slide to the Theological (and with that, Cultural) Left? I listened to a recent Theology Pugcasters podcast episode and they really got me to thinking. I add my own reflections and experiences to their insightful analysis. Then, because the Roman Catholic Church has elected a new Pope I reflect on the prospects of a Pope Leo XIV papacy. Who is he? He's from America but how American is he really? Why did the Cardinals vote him in after only 3 votes? Why do I—yes and amen—want him to be an advocate for the planet's disenfranchised populations?! Along the way I also reflect on a recent vivid X.com picture I saw and tie that into a reflection about Elon Musk now having sired 12 children. What is unique about that? What does it say about where society is headed? Come think and laugh with me.
Dr Clark finishes the series, "The Comfort of the Covenant." This series will show us the value of having a good covenant theology in order to help us understand the history of redemption correctly and well. And, more particularly, to help understand the gospel and how the gospel relates to the covenant of grace. In this episode, Dr. Clark continues discussing A Firm Foundation: An Aid to Interpreting the Heidelberg Catechism by Caspar Olevianus and considers Olevianus' discussion of our final standing before God.

Dr. Imes brings her deep knowledge of Exodus to the average Christian audience, explaining how the structure and literary parallels of Exodus to show how the women are the rescuers of Moses, who then rescues the Hebrews.

And she explains how Zipporah literally saved Moses' life as he decided which people group he belonged.
