Podcast appearances and mentions of trevin wax

  The evangelical church is a mess. If you believe the surveys, more than forty million Americans have “de-churched” in the past 25 years. That is why it is a good thing Brad Edwards reminds us why the Body of Christ still matters. Trevin Wax, whose opinion I value in such matters, has called The Reason for Church “one of the most important books of the year.” I agree. It is a clear-eyed apologetic for the church, and it is also a love letter to the church, especially the local church, where the real “churching” takes place. All of this is why I'm pleased to have Brad Edwards on the program today. Brad is a church planter and pastor of The Table Church in Lafayette, Colorado, where he lives with his wife Hannah and their two sons. He is a regular contributor to Mere Orthodoxy and The Gospel Coalition, two of my favorite publications. Brad spoke to me via zoom from his home in Colorado. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Thanks to Amy Morris at Harper Collins for helping me arrange this interview. Until next time, may God bless you.

In this episode, Seth reviews an article by Trevin Wax and discusses the biblical vision behind self control.To access the sources for this episode, visit: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevin-wax/one-virtue-young-man/To become a subscriber of this podcast, visit:⁠https://anchor.fm/seth-hensley/subscribe⁠

What does it really mean to follow Jesus?In a world that tells us to chase our dreams and follow our hearts, the call to trust and obey can feel countercultural—even restrictive. But what if surrendering to Him is the key to true freedom and purpose?Join Angie and Katie as they dive into Luke 5:11, unpacking the power of Jesus' invitation to follow Him. Together, we'll explore how letting go of our own plans and embracing His way leads to lasting fulfillment—far beyond what we could achieve on our own. Luke 5:11 (NIV)So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. https://livesteadyon.com/ https://www.logos.com/https://enduringword.com/https://www.wordhippo.com/https://www.biblegateway.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/Stein, Robert H.

Host Matt Carter is joined by Tony Merida, Vance Pitman, and Trevin Wax to discuss the essential role of global missions in church planting. The post The Nations: Engaged in God’s Global Mission appeared first on New Churches.

Larry Sanger is the co-founder of Wikipedia, and he recently published his testimony online. TGC's Trevin Wax shared his highlights, and I wanted to share my reflections and resolutions after reading it.Script:First, I am resolved to answer questions. I teach high school Sunday School, and Sanger specifically pointed out that his questions as a youth were met with contempt. I don't want to be a teacher who discourages questions. Instead, I want to encourage them.Second, I am resolved to witness well. Sanger said that some of his favorite people were Christians, and some of them were extremely intelligent. He found this strange, and I want to be that type of believer! I often forget that how we live really does have an impact on people's perception of faith.Third, I am resolved to preach and teach God's Word. Sanger was surprised that the Bible could withstand interrogation — and that it was interesting to him! I want to preach and teach in such a way that God's Word can speak for itself and remain engaging.Video and transcript:https://www.diveindigdeep.com/blog/how-does-a-skeptical-philosopher-become-a-christianShownotes:https://larrysanger.org/2025/02/how-a-skeptical-philosopher-becomes-a-christian/https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevin-wax/wikipedias-founder-converts-christianity/Links:https://www.diveindigdeep.com/https://newsletter.diveindigdeep.com/https://www.instagram.com/diveindigdeephttps://www.youtube.com/@soundwordsfm https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soundwords

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.  On Gentle Parenting In this episode, we discuss an article by Trevin Wax for the Gospel Coalition entitled “The Church's Opportunity When ‘Gentle Parenting' Crashes.”  We agree with Wax that Gentle Parenting is lacking in some key areas, and examine the philosophy behind gentle parenting, what it assumes about children and people in general, and why we believe it does not reach the goals it strives for.  We also outline authoritative, biblical parenting, which does not fall into either the domineering, authoritarian style nor the passive, discipline-lacking parenting that is too often the norm in our culture today.  "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill

For two seasons now, we’ve looked at the credibility crisis facing the church today and some of the challenges that stand in the way of our attempts to renew and restore the church’s witness. We’ve heard guest after guest give us truth and point us toward hope. We’ve talked about rolling up our sleeves and finding our place on the wall, doing whatever we can for the church to reconstruct, to rebuild, to restore, to renew. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks the question: What if we’re not up to the task of rebuilding the witness of the church?

Nothing alters a terrain like water. In severe cases, like flooding from hurricanes and storms, or mudslides in the mountains, or a tsunami overtaking everything in its path, water can leave a landscape totally transformed. But even in mild cases, wind and waves can leave behind noticeable changes to the scenery. Waves affect the landscape of the church also. There are subtle echoes of movements that have shaped churches across the country, regardless of denomination. You might not see them, but they're there, shaping how we worship. Cultural currents carve out different streams. Movements rise and fall, personalities come and go, and ministry philosophies shift, leaving the terrain transformed. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks the question: What waves have shaped the landscape of evangelicalism?

Notes//Quotes: Phil 4:1-3 - Zyler   Slides Philippians 4   Slide 1   Big Idea:   Our understanding of beautiful theological truth must be accompanied by healthy personal relationships.   An application of powerful theology (v 1)   An intervention for healthy relationships (v 2-3)     Slide 2    JPEG of Selah Suite wall coming by email     Slide 3   For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?  For you are our glory and joy.   1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 Slide 4   “The Greek word for crown … was commonly used to denote the festive garland, worn as a sign of gladness, or the wreath awarded to the victor of the athletic contest. If the metaphor is to be applied here, it means that the Philippian Christians would be regarded as his ‘reward,' the seal of his apostleship … at the last day, the triumph of grace would be seen in the perseverance of the saints to the inexpressible joy of their spiritual mentors.” Ralph P. Martin     Slide 5   Two pics of Gettysburg, side by side, coming by email               Slide 6   “Paul's willingness to call out two women when he knew the letter would be read to the whole congregation demonstrates the fact that he cared more about the unity of the church than about the church having a superficial, “everything is going to be alright” sentimental warmth. Paul's most joyful letter expresses his willingness to do the hard work of pursuing unity rather than just papering over problems… Paul tells them to agree in the Lord. And he urges the church to help them. He doesn't say, “Hey everyone else, stay out of it. It's none of your business!” He expects the church to be involved in bringing about reconciliation. Why? Because of the gospel. The church is made up of the servants of the Lord. We are servants of Jesus Christ. We should be of the same mind because we love the same God. We believe in the same Jesus. We're indwelled by the same Spirit. Reconciliation isn't easy, but pursuing it says something about the power of the gospel. So let's be Christians who are so steeped in grace that we pursue unity in the church and with other people. Let's be willing to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work of reconciliation or to get involved and help other people reconcile because we want people to see what it looks like when grace reigns supreme.” Trevin Wax, The Gospel Coalition   Slide 7 “People know Jesus, not just by what we say, but how we live. The way we serve one another, love one another, bear with one another, rejoice with one another, weep with one another, everything we do with one another is either evidence for or against the reality of the Gospel. In the 3rd Century, Christian Theologian Tertullian recorded how the pagans surrounding the church in North Africa exclaimed, “See how these Christians Love one another!” Love has been, and always will be, the sign of Christian maturity and evidence of the Gospel.    Andrew McClure   Slide 8   Big Idea:   Our understanding of beautiful theological truth must be accompanied by healthy personal relationships.

If you want a very practical way to reach your community, your church should consider starting a Christian school. You can provide families with a place for their children to receive a great education in a safe environment that reinforces the values and principles they embrace. On Thursday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author and pastor Jimmy Scroggins shares how he and co-author of The Education Reformation, Trevin Wax, examine how the witness of church-based schools could lead to culture change through an evangelistic harvest—a powerful education reformation.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're back in the saddle with Dr. Trevin Wax. Okay, that's the first time I've ever employed the phrase “back in the saddle” and I think I kind of like it! Anyway, Trevin is an old friend and former colleague who just so happens to be a brilliant leader, academic scholar, and theologian. Much like our beloved Dr. Howard, God has given him the refreshing gift of putting the proverbial cookies of profound biblical truisms on the lower shelf so that laypeople like us can better enjoy, understand, and apply them. His latest book, The Thrill of Orthodoxy, is a fantastic read because he expertly contrasts the dull, regurgitated principles of heresy masquerading as modern religious enlightenment with the radical and redemptive truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We're living in an era when personal preferences are often paired with a pretty picture and a catchy tune and presented as sound doctrine on social media. But no matter how many likes our particular viewpoints get, if they're not built on biblical scaffolding, they're not really true, they won't stand the test of time, they won't satisfy our hungry hearts, and they certainly won't bring living hope to a lost world. Today's episode is sort of like a second honeymoon for orthodoxy because it's going to help us recapture the radical beauty of sound doctrine and more importantly, it's going to help us fall deeper in love with Jesus. Because remember, the end game of good theology isn't to acquire more cognitive information about God; instead, it's about developing a more intimate relationship with our Creator Redeemer and as a result learning to extend some measure of the unconditional love He lavishes on us to the precious people around us. So please take a couple of deep breaths, then grab your favorite beverage and snack, prop your feet up, open your Bible and come hang out on the porch with us. We're really glad you're here.

In this episode, the fellas discuss a recent article by Trevin Wax about various "waves" in the church over time.

Have the flaws and imperfections in the body of Christ become a stumbling block to your faith? Whether it's a church leader abusing their power, a congregation full of gossip, or a legalistic message that curdles your soul, a church can be a source of hurt just as easily as a source of healing. In this special episode, Austin interviews author, pastor, and university professor Trevin Wax, to discuss the ways that being part of a church can be both a source of blessing and pain. For as many ways as fellowship with other believers can be life-giving, there is also an opportunity for hurt that can lead to distrust and rejection of the faith altogether. This episode will both challenge and encourage you to think more deeply about why your role in a church matters, how powerful your personal influence is on the body of Christ, and how to process church hurt when it happens.

During today's episode of Back Porch Theology, we're sitting down with an engaging joyful scholar - which may sound like a juxtaposition but shouldn't be - Dr. Trevin Wax. Trevin's an old friend who's got a long list of accomplishments including serving as a missionary in Romania, after which he went on to serve as the vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board. He's taught courses at Wheaton College and Cedarville University and has lectured at the prestigious Oxford University in the UK. He's also the founding editor of The Gospel Project, published the Christian Standard Bible – which is one of my favorite translations - and has written a nightstand full of books. But what I appreciate most about Trevin is that he embodies the fact that being serious about matters of faith doesn't equate to being overly serious about oneself. As Christ followers, of course, we're called to marinate in God's Word like those ancient Berean Christians, but arrogance and academic elitism are not spiritual gifts! That being said, Dr. Wax is known for dropping wisdom bombs everywhere he goes, so you'll probably want to bring a notebook or journal along with your Bible to the porch today, plus something yummy and caffeinated like a non-fat mocha with whipped cream – I've never used thrill and orthodoxy in the same sentence but when I order a non-fat mocha with whipped cream I feel like those two juxtaposed terms enhance each other to the point of making my coffee almost Keto! We're going to have a great conversation today, y'all – thanks so much for choosing to hang out with us.

In the first episode of this season, we looked at the reconstruction of Notre Dame after the fire, the painstaking work of refashioning and rebuilding a place that took centuries to construct. Rebuilding requires sacrifice… a dogged commitment to seeing the task through. If this is the case for churches, it's also the case for families of churches, for networks, partnerships, conventions, and denominations. In episode two, we looked at the trend of “dechurching.” People drifting away from the church is one of the biggest stories in religion reporting right now. But the other big story is about the shifting landscape of those who do belong to a church. I'm talking about the decline of most denominations in America, and the rise of non-denominational churches in Protestant Christianity. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks how we look beyond our congregation to the health of the evangelical movement as a whole.
