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 begins discussing John Calvin's teaching on the Lord's Supper by giving a survey of his life and works.

Last week on the podcast I released an episode where we talked about the LDS Church releasing and veryfying the existence and authenticity of John Taylor's 1886 Revelation. We covered alot of the history surrounding the document and what it means for Mormon History. On this episode Michael Ness and I sit down to have conversation about what the release of the 1886 Revelation means theologically. During the course of our conversation we talk about some of the arguments LDS apologists have given to try and dismiss or downplay the importance of the 1886 Revelation, we take a look at a few scriptures in the Book Of Mormon that seem to suggest that "all is not well in Zion", we examine other times in ancient history when apostasy has occurred, the impact of the LDS Church's denial of the existence of this revelation has had on individuals and families, and finaly wrap up our conversation by trying to give hope to those who have had thier testimonies shaken by the release of the 1886 Revelation.

SummaryIn this conversation, Hakeem Bradley shares his journey from growing up in the 5% Nation to becoming a biblical scholar. He discusses the contrasting views on scripture between Islam and Christianity, his transition from pastoral ministry to biblical research, and the significance of Genesis in understanding powers and principalities. Hakeem emphasizes the importance of equity in the creation narrative and explores the cultural context of Genesis in relation to ancient Near Eastern texts. He also highlights the influence of Genesis on the Epistle of James and the role of the church in spiritual warfare. In this conversation, Hakeem Bradley and Danielle Strickland explore the themes of spiritual warfare, the power of love and generosity, the concept of original sin as passive participation, and the awakening potential of scripture. They discuss the authority given to humanity, the wisdom from above, and the true nature of power as demonstrated by Jesus. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of living generously and the transformative power of love in combating darkness.Takeaways* Hakeem Bradley's journey from the 5% Nation to biblical scholarship is profound.* The Bible can be a tool for liberation, not oppression.* Understanding the cultural context of scripture is crucial.* Genesis sets the foundation for understanding powers and principalities.* Equity is inherent in the creation narrative of Genesis.* The line of the woman and the line of the snake represent spiritual allegiances.* The wisdom from above is accessible to all believers.* The church has a role in crushing spiritual oppression.* Hakeem's work aims to equip families for biblical literacy.* The narrative of Genesis challenges patriarchal interpretations. We join in with Christ's mission to defeat darkness.* Living generously and hospitably is a form of spiritual warfare.* Original sin is about passive participation in evil.* Scripture serves as an awakening tool for believers.* Authority was given to humanity to rule wisely.* The snake symbolizes twisted authority in creation.* True power is often perceived as weakness in the world.* Choosing not to retaliate reflects true strength.* The wisdom of God is accessible to us now.* Engaging with scripture shapes our understanding and actions.About HakeemHakeem is a biblical scholar, teacher, blogger, and researcher. He has served various communities across the United States and Canada through preaching, teaching, and research. He holds a Master's of Theological and Biblical Studies from Western Seminary and is a Ph. D. candidate in New Testament Studies at Ridley College (Melbourne).

Guest preacher Ciarra Jones joins us on Pride Sunday to examine Jesus' question to his disciples- "Who do you say that I am" - and the invitation to the holy work of naming. How might the act of naming God- particularly from the margins- invite us into a more expansive understanding of who God is and move us toward greater love and liberation for all?

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! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

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 the Medieval church's understanding of the Lord's  Supper, particularly looking at the debate between two monks; Radbertus and Ratramnus.

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 episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave, Dave Jenkins answers the question, "What is fornication?" Drawing from key Scriptures, Dave explains how the Bible defines fornication, why it is categorized as sexual immorality, and what it means for Christians to pursue holiness in this area. With clarity and pastoral care, this episode helps listeners understand the seriousness of sexual sin—and the hope and transformation found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. ________________________________________

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

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. Previous episodes Episode 224: Why Should I Believe in the Nicene Creed?Episode 105: Why Isn't There Unity in the Body of Christ?Show notes: Transcript and Bible quotes: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/294Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.
