Season 3, Episode 2In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series through Galatians by examining Paul's forceful argument in Galatians 3:1–14. Paul begins by asking the Galatians a series of pointed questions: if they received the Spirit through faith, why would they now turn to works of the Law to complete what God began? From there, the discussion moves to Abraham, who was counted righteous by faith centuries before the Mosaic Law, showing that justification by faith is not a New Testament innovation but part of God's redemptive plan from the beginning. Michael and Zach then explore why the Law cannot justify sinners, how its demands expose humanity to the curse, and how Christ redeems His people by becoming a curse for them. The episode culminates in Paul's central contrast: righteousness is not achieved by adding human works to Christ, but received through faith in the One who bore the curse and secured the blessing promised to Abraham.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/QAYG64ep4nsMerch 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

Do Not Be Anxious About Your Life - The Gospel According to Matthew: Chapters 6 (2026) by Shawn Ozbun
Rabbi ARRESTED For Soliciting…It’s Bad
The Catholic Church, for some 150 years, warned of the dangers of Socialism-Communism. But today massive chunks of the global Church are sympathetic to the claims and aims of Socialism. So it's a natural question, can a Christian be a Socialist? In this episode I work through the value system of Socialism to compare and contrast it with the biblical portrayal of reality. Within all that, fundamental to the Socialist system is the elimination of the traditional family. Why? Why is that such a constant through Socialism's history? I also discuss things like: today's Christian Emo music, the mascot of my High School, and the importance of not only looking through one's worldview (field of perception) but of looking at it. It is good to know why one believes (1 Pet. 3:15). Midway through the pod I discuss a development in Los Angeles that helps us understand the Socialist economy. Oh, I also note what Karl Marx did with regard to his own maid; he, the great Robin Hood for the working man, was a less than stellar boss. Come think and laugh with me!

Their work centers on the Immunocine Dendritic Cell Treatment (IDCT) — a first-in-class therapy designed to train the immune system to recognize and respond to a patient's specific cancer. The process begins by collecting information from the patient's tumor and using it to program specialized immune cells called dendritic cells, which help activate targeted immune responses. A key differentiator in Immunocine's approach is something called double loading — cancer information is delivered to the dendritic cell both inside the cell and on its surface, giving the immune system a more complete blueprint of the cancer it needs to recognize and attack. And while this approach is unique to Immunocine and unique to use therapeutically, it is NOT unique to biology - since this is how the immune system was always meant to work! Immunocine treats patients from around the world at its clinic in Cancun, Mexico, combining advanced immune science with personalized care. As always, patients should first explore whether they may be eligible for a clinical trial in the United States. To learn more, visit Immunocine.com.

Paul says these things are good and right and true and beautiful. They sound simple...until we try to do them. The church in Rome was the location this letter was headed, and Paul was writing to a deeply divided church. So where are we in the letter? We're about three quarters of the way through. The first part of the letter is filled with all sorts of theology: sin, grace, mercy, Jesus, life, death, atonement, reconciliation. Theology that is deeply beautiful. Then we get to chapter 12; he says, "Therefore." In other words, all that theology has to become more than a simple set of beliefs. It has to transform us so we are living into it. "Love must be sincere." No pretending. No performance. No religious theater." Be devoted to one another in love." Devoted. It means we don't leave when things get complicated. Devotion sticks around for hard conversation, when a crisis of faith happens - when questions come. Devotion sticks around after the diagnosis, in the hospital, through the treatment. This is one of the most powerful things we can give to others. Not answers. Not explanations. Just presence. "Do not repay evil with evil." Evil tends to reproduce itself. Someone has to ask the question: who will stop it? "Enemies - feed them - give them drink." The good news isn't about defeating enemies. It isn't about winning. We can disagree without dehumanizing. We can create healthy boundaries without hate. We can work for justice without violence. All of these things are what it looks like to allow beliefs and theology to work on us and transform us to live into the new humanity God is creating in us and through us.

The Challenge
Branden Hempelman grew up Lutheran—but for years, it was simply the faith in which he had been raised. Then a theological conversation with a friend sent him back to Scripture with a fundamental question: What do I actually believe about salvation, baptism, election, and the work of Christ?In this conversation, Branden joins Tim Ahlman to share how studying Scripture led him into a deeper appreciation of confessional Lutheran theology. They explore why salvation must remain entirely God's work, what the Bible says baptism actually gives, how Christians can understand election without turning inward, and why the Lutheran distinction between Law and Gospel offers profound assurance.Support the showWatch Us On Youtube!

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3,) Gospel – Luke 4:31-37 – Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the sabbath, and they were astonished at His teaching because He spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice, “What have You to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are–the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed and said to one another, “What is there about His word? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” And news of Him spread everywhere in the surrounding region. Saints in Heaven, pray for us!

Gary Habermas has likely studied the historical evidence for the resurrection more than anyone who has ever lived. He's just finished a four-volume work on it and he told me the final volume, on theology and practice, may be the last thing he writes on the subject.

The conversation delves into the historical connections between Mormon temple practices and their potential origins, the evolution of the endowment ceremony, the significance of the garment of the holy priesthood, and the theology of eternal marriage and sealing. It also explores the complexities of family relationships in the afterlife and the concept of posthumous conversion to Mormonism.TakeawaysTemple worship in the Latter-day Saint tradition involves sacred ordinances, covenants, and symbolic rituals that connect to the afterlife and the plan of salvation.The practice of baptism for the dead and the temple endowment are deeply rooted in LDS theology, history, and the restoration of ancient practices.The historical context of the temple endowment, including its similarities to Freemasonry, raises questions and invites different interpretations. Restoration vs. Development: The historical origins of Mormon temple practices, such as the endowment ceremony and eternal sealing, raise questions about whether they were genuinely restored from ancient traditions or developed within the context of Joseph Smith's environment.Theology of Eternal Marriage: The theology of eternal marriage and sealing in Mormonism is deeply intertwined with the concept of exaltation and the eternal continuation of family relationships, presenting complex theological and practical implications.Afterlife and Posthumous Conversion: The discussion of the spirit world, paradise, and spirit prison in Mormon theology raises the question of whether individuals who have passed away without accepting the restored gospel can become Latter-day Saints after death.Significance of the Garment: The garment of the holy priesthood is explored as a physical symbol of covenants, protection, and connection to Jesus Christ, highlighting its theological and practical significance for faithful Latter-day Saints.Chapters00:00 The Temple Endowment and Covenants45:20 Historical Origins of Temple Practices50:21 The Garment of the Holy Priesthood01:07:19 Eternal Marriage and Sealing01:29:04 Afterlife and Posthumous Conversion

What happens when sound theology is separated from a living love for Christ?In this special episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to the controversy surrounding G3 and the public failures of prominent Christian leaders.Drawing from Paul's warning about Demas in 2 Timothy 4, Richard considers how theological knowledge and public ministry can never substitute for personal holiness, humility, and faithfulness to Christ.Pride, influence, money, bitterness, and hidden sin can ensnare anyone. This is not merely a warning about other leaders or ministries—it is a call for every Christian to examine himself, love Christ, cherish his family, remain rooted in the local church, and take heed lest he fall.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere
