Explore the ongoing debate between science and religion through the lens of fundamentalism versus modernism, a conversation that has shaped religious thought for over a century. Scott and Casey dive into the historical roots of the conflict—highlighting modern scientific thought and modern Latter-day Saint thinking. Learn how cultural shifts led some believers to defend scripture strictly while others sought harmony between revelation and reason. Viewers will gain context for how these two approaches emerged and why the discussion still matters today in classrooms, churches, and public discourse. From a Latter-day Saint (LDS) perspective, this episode emphasizes that faith and scientific inquiry need not be enemies. Many Latter-day Saints see truth as coming from both divine revelation and honest study of the natural world, trusting that all truth ultimately aligns in God's eternal framework. By examining scripture, prophetic teachings, and the LDS tradition of education and learning, this video presents a thoughtful case for religious belief that welcomes discovery while maintaining devotion to God. Whether you are a person of faith, a student of science, or simply curious, this discussion invites respectful dialogue and deeper reflection.

Welcome to Day 2796 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Top 10 Logical Fallacies That Lead to Bad Theology and Misguided Evangelism. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2796 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2796 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled Top 10 Logical Fallacies That Lead to Bad Theology and Misguided Evangelism. Theology and evangelism must be grounded in truth. Scripture calls us to worship God with all our heart, soul, and mind. When Christians lean on faulty reasoning, they twist the Word of God and open the door to error. Logical fallacies are not harmless; they often lead to heresy, false conversions, and a compromised witness. The gospel is too precious to be diluted by sloppy thinking. Here are ten common logical fallacies that regularly poison Christian teaching and outreach, along with why they are so dangerous. 1. Appeal to Emotion God created us with emotions, and they can be powerful tools in responding to His truth. But when emotions become the foundation of a theological claim or evangelistic appeal, the message becomes distorted. Frightening people with hellfire or guilt-tripping them into “saying a prayer” is not preaching the gospel. It is manipulating feelings. This may produce outward responses, but it rarely produces genuine repentance. The Holy Spirit uses the truth of the gospel to convict and transform, not emotional spectacle. 2. Straw Man We are called to represent the truth faithfully, and that includes how we handle opposing views. Creating a caricature of someone else's beliefs just to knock it down is not discernment; it is dishonesty. Saying, “Calvinists believe God delights in sending people to hell,” or “Arminians think they save themselves,” misrepresents those views and violates the command to bear true witness. If we cannot refute what someone actually believes, we have no business opposing it at all. 3. Slippery Slope There is a difference between wise caution and irrational fear. When someone says, “If we allow this doctrinal disagreement, we'll abandon the gospel next,” or “If women teach children, we'll soon have drag queens in the pulpit,” they are not contending for the faith. They are avoiding honest discussion. Scripture warns against compromise, but it also warns against making false accusations. We must examine each issue on its own merit, not use fear tactics to shut down thought. 4. Circular Reasoning The Bible is self-authenticating, but it should not be defended with circular logic. Saying, “The Bible is true because it says it is,” may sound spiritual, but it avoids meaningful engagement with the reliability of God's Word. Scripture invites examination. God has confirmed His Word through history,...

Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1412 - It is not uncommon to find professing Christians expressing the notion that the God of the Old Testament was harsh and does not reflect the love and kindness that Jesus taught. They also feel that there is somehow a difference between what God sought from mankind in the Old Testament as compared to the New. Many believe Jesus came to change the expectation that we would keep His Father's law, and was therefore a kinder, gentler God. But does this perspective match with scripture? Understanding who Christ was before His human birth provides ground-breaking insight into these important questions.

In this first episode of a two-part series, we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God's authoritative and trustworthy revelation.Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.To guide the conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Matt O'Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years. Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.In this episode:Why the Chicago Statement remains influentialHow it reflects the classical Christian approach to ScriptureWhy Wesleyans benefit from engaging itGuided reading + theological commentaryHow inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelationStay tuned for Part 2 in the next episode.Youtube - https://youtu.be/Lo0cjMoKBcUAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon!

How can a church incorporate a creed, confession, or catechism in weekly gatherings and services? Should they? Before dealing with the primary question, we must define the terms. What is a creed? What is a confession? What's the difference? What is a catechism? How can we use these things in our spiritual journey? How do they help us grow? How can they be used in weekly worship services? Should they be used in this setting? If a Pastor wants to integrate these things, how does he get there? These are the questions found in the conversation of this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted.

Episode 2.82In this episode, Michael and Zach examine the doctrine of baptism using William Lane Craig's carefully defined taxonomy, focusing not on mode or tradition, but on the central theological question: what, if anything, does water baptism actually do?The discussion begins by framing baptism as commanded, important, and normative for Christians—while also recognizing that disagreements over baptism, though real, are non-cardinal. From there, the episode walks through Craig's two broad categories: the figuralist view, which sees baptism as symbolic only, and the realist view, which holds that saving realities are somehow present in the act itself.Under the realist umbrella, three increasingly strong models are evaluated: occasionalism, instrumental causation, and proximate causation. Each is assessed for biblical coherence, theological consistency, and historical pressure—particularly the early church's reliance on exceptions such as the thief on the cross, baptism of blood, and baptism of desire.The episode then turns to Craig's strongest exegetical argument from Acts, noting that water baptism and Spirit baptism never coincide in the narrative. This observation proves decisive in undermining all sacramental realist models, not merely the strongest versions. Infant baptism is also addressed, with attention to faith as a necessary prerequisite for baptism in the New Testament.The episode concludes by articulating Craig's positive position: salvation is by faith alone, while baptism stands as the ordained culmination of conversion—an act of obedience, public identification with Christ, and entry into the visible church. Baptism does not save, but those who are saved are called to be baptized.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/EacK2AZXT6cMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

I traveled to Minneapolis to sit down with several local Christian leaders to learn what's really going on in the city. To the suprise of no one, what's really going on is far more complex than what you'll hear about in the media. And local churches have come together in beautify and powerful ways to care for those who have been traumatized by recent events.

Dr. Robert Ganung, chaplain and teacher at Taft School, joins Rick to explore how deep contemplative practice can ground a life of service, justice, and education. Drawing from Celtic Christianity, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the civil rights tradition, Robert shares how daily meditation, interspiritual study, and a sense of the sacred in all beings inform his work with students and his view of a world in crisis yet ripe for awakening. They discuss non-duality and interconnection, inner practice as fuel for action, the impact of mystical experiences, near-death research, and living with love and courage amid social and planetary upheaval. The Rev. Dr. Robert Ganung is an ordained minister, educator, and school chaplain whose life and work have been shaped by a deep engagement with both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. He holds a doctorate from the Boston University School of Theology, where his dissertation explored how the mindfulness and meditation practices taught by the Vietnamese Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh can enrich and nourish the spiritual lives of Christians. That work grew out of years of personal practice and study, including retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a lifelong interest in contemplative spirituality. For more than four decades, Dr. Ganung has served at the intersection of education, ministry, and social justice. He is currently Chaplain at The Taft School in Connecticut, where he also teaches philosophy, ethics, world religions, and global studies, and where he has brought an extraordinary range of voices into the community—among them Cornel West, Bill McKibben, Ibram X. Kendi, Angela Davis, Tibetan monks, and many others addressing spirituality, human rights, environmental justice, and the moral challenges of our time. Earlier in his career, he served as chaplain and teacher at Milton Academy, Punahou School in Hawai‘i, and Cardigan Mountain School. During these years, he also served as a minister in the United Methodist and United Church of Christ congregations in New England and Hawai‘i. Dr. Ganung's spiritual formation has been deeply influenced by the Christian mystical tradition—figures such as Howard Thurman, Bede Griffiths, Richard Rohr, & John O'Donohue—as well as by Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and interfaith dialogue. Introduced to Hindu philosophy and Sufism as an undergraduate philosophy major at Boston University, he later engaged Siddha Yoga and Advaita teachings, while continuing to explore how contemplative practice leads naturally toward nonviolence, compassion, and justice in the world.

The Time of Our Departure - The Hebrew 2nd Thessalonians Chap 1 by Shawn Ozbun
Only 60% of evangelicals say the Bible is their highest authority. That statistic should stop every Christian in their tracks. In this episode of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, our pastors wrestle with a sobering question raised by the State of Theology survey: If the Bible isn't the highest authority for what you believe… what is? Culture? Personal feelings? Popular voices? Your own heart? This conversation exposes why this question isn't academic — it's eternal. The pastors discuss: Why every person lives under some authority (whether they admit it or not) How evangelicalism quietly drifted from Scripture alone to something softer Why preaching that avoids conviction produces churches full of comfort — not truth And what happens when God's Word is treated as optional instead of authoritative This episode isn't about attacking others. It's about self-examination. Because whatever you place above Scripture will not stand when you stand before God.

Host Jay Ewing is joined by Pastor Emeritus Tom Shirk as he returns to full-time ministry at Calvary Bible Church following his sabbatical. After over 33 years as Senior Pastor, Tom shares his unique reflections on the "end of an era," the beauty of a healthy leadership transition, and the peace of knowing the church's best days are still ahead. In this deep dive into John 13, Jay and Tom explore the "Upper Room Discourse"—the final, vital instructions Jesus gave His friends before the cross. They discuss: The Theology of the Basin: How Jesus washing the disciples' feet serves as a tangible picture of the Incarnation. The Audacity of Grace: The staggering reality of Jesus washing the feet of Judas, even knowing the betrayal to come. Proximate vs. Changed: A sobering look at why it is possible to be near the things of God without having a transformed heart. A Call to Action: Moving beyond grand gestures to find God in the small acts of serving "the least, the last, and the lost". Whether you are navigating a transition in your own life or seeking a deeper understanding of Christ's humility, this episode offers a roadmap for living as a servant-leader in a secular world.

Peter Rosenberger welcomes Pastor Andrew Hopper to Truth Talk Live for a compelling conversation on adoption, faith, and family. Drawing from his book Chosen, Andrew shares how the gospel of adoption is lived out beyond the pulpit through welcoming a child with special needs, enduring sacrifice, and trusting God in long-term caregiving. A powerful look at how theology becomes tangible in everyday family life.
From the 2026 EFCA Theology Preconference, Collin Hansen—editor-in-chief of The Gospel Coalition and executive director of The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics—unpacks the importance for Christians to discern deeper issues than just trends and fads when it comes to defending the faith.
From the 2026 EFCA Theology Preconference, Rev. Bob Thune—lead pastor of Coram Deo Church and council member at The Gospel Coalition—explores the proclaimed message of the gospel paired with the embodied witness of the Church.
In this episode of Straight White American, Jesus, we dig into the disturbing revelation that James Dobson's name appears among the Epstein files. :Why would Epstein recommend a James Dobson article to a young woman he was grooming—and what does that reveal about Dobson's theology of family, gender, authority, and forgiveness. Drawing on the work of DL Mayfield and others, the episode unpacks how Dobson's advice reframes abuse, minimizes male responsibility, and shifts moral and emotional labor onto women—precisely the kind of framework that predators find useful. From there, the conversation moves beyond the email itself to a larger, under explored connection: Dobson's influence in post-Soviet Russia and how American evangelical “family values” helped shape the ideological foundations of Putin-era authoritarianism. Tracing Dobson's reach through Focus on the Family, the World Congress of Families, and Russian Orthodox moral politics, the episode shows how a shared logic of patriarchy, control, and unquestionable authority links Dobson, Epstein, and Putin—not through coordination, but through a common worldview. The through line is power without accountability, and the devastating consequences of theological and political systems that teach people—especially women and children—that their bodies are not their own.
