Are there apostles and prophets today? In this episode, we break down the difference between cessationism, continuationism, and charismatic theology — and answer the question so many Christians are asking as self-proclaimed "apostles" and "prophets" (like Katherine Krick and leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation/NAR movement) gain massive followings online. We define the key terms — cessationist, continuationist, and charismatic — then walk through:
Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “The Goodness of God.” Dr. Michael Vanlaningham, retired Professor of Bible at the Moody Bible Institute, unpacked how God’s sovereignty and goodness provide hope in the midst of suffering, reminding listeners that even life’s hardest trials are never outside His care. The Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary, Dr. Wayne Grudem, unpacked the difference between the visible and invisible church, emphasized the marks of genuine faith, and encouraged believers to abide in Christ and walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit. One of the five most influential evangelists of her generation, Anne Graham Lotz, reflected on her father’s gospel legacy, Billy Graham, and encouraged believers to share Christ faithfully in every season. We then turned to our listeners on the phone line and asked, "How did the goodness of God amaze you?" How You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Today:As we press forward within "Consider the Cost" with author Russ Miller, he drops a bombshell: "We have reached a point within the contemporary church wherein we will hardly allow iron to sharpen iron."When asked where the chief opposition to the notion of a young Earth arises, Russ is straightforward and blunt. The church.Why? If the lion's share of Scripture seems to point towards a young Earth and the theology of sin and death -- in the view of respectable theologians like Wayne Grudem -- is dependent upon it, why would we not at least be intellectually honest and search both the Word (the Bible) and the World (secular science) for reasons to dismiss it? Can we so casually dismiss this notion if we have not taken the time to be sure?The summer of 2026 just got very, very awkward!Background:In the summer of 2016, the annual Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading campaign introduced us to Russ Miller, a storied and established Biblical creationist who lives, believe it or not, off-the-grid in a crater in northern Arizona. If that were not crazy enough, during that summer, Miller introduced us to his book, "The Cost", and he made two audacious claims.First, Russ Miller claimed that the universe and all of creation was established by God in six 24-hour days, less than 10,000 years ago. He claimed he had scientific and scriptural evidence to back up his claims.Second, Miller claimed that if our nation continued to deny God the creator and the concept of "Imago Dei" -- that we are created in the image and likeness of God, on purpose, and for a purpose -- our culture would go into a freefall, losing all concept of right and wrong, falling into chaos and disorder.Now, ten years later, Russ Miller is back and his warnings and worries have exploded into reality. Our country and our culture are mired in confusion about truth, gender, marriage, race, identity, spirituality, and more.We are paying what Miller called "The Cost" of losing track of who we are and whose we are.This summer, we're going deep into creationism. We are going to spend time with audacious individuals who believe in Young Earth, Old Earth, Theistic Evolution, Geocentricity, and, yes, a Flat Earth. Our journey will be anchored in God's word as we enjoy some pretty amazing conversations.But, at the end of the day, diverse positions aside, every moment and every word of the KingdomCultureConversations.com episodes that we will hear this summer (between May 11th and September 28th) will be rooted in one truth: You were created on purpose and for a purpose.To learn more about Russ Miller and his organization, "Creation and Evolution Science Ministries", please follow this link.To get a copy of "Consider the Cost", you can pick up a free copy of the book in the three offices of Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona or you can order a copy by clicking here.

Most teaching on this gift goes one direction: detect the demon, cast it out, move on. But what if that's only a fraction of what Paul actually meant?In 1 Corinthians 12:10, Paul lists the gift of discernment of spirits and says nothing else. The silence has fueled real debate, and in this episode Michael Rowntree walks through the three most serious scholarly positions and tells you where he lands. Michael examines the Source Testing View (held by Wayne Grudem and D.A. Carson), the Prophecy Weighing View (from Gordon Fee's commentary on 1 Corinthians), and the Prophecy Interpreting View (from scholar Doenberg). Each view has real exegetical arguments behind it. None of them are dismissed lightly. But they're not all equally convincing.But stay for the story at the end. It happened at a Remnant Conference. A quiet prayer room. Three words that showed up and shouldn't have made sense until they made all the sense in the world. That story is why this gift matters.0:00 – Introduction1:36 – Source Testing (Grudem & Carson)7:31 – Prophecy Weighing (Fee)10:57 – Prophecy Interpreting (Doenberg)13:31 – Where Michael Lands14:50 – Discernment in Practice18:17 – ConclusionINTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY:https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry___________________________________________INTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY eCoursePRESALE: $100 OFF through May 1 LEARN MORE: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry Support the showABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO: The Remnant Radio exists to equip believers who are hungry for the radical middle of both Word and Spirit.

In this episode, Caleb and Iain Duguid (PhD, Cambridge) Professor of Old Testament at Westminister Theological Seminary explore the spectrum of prophecy in the Bible, its continuation or cessation today, and how Old Testament insights inform our understanding of New Testament prophecy. The discussion clarifies key distinctions and offers practical guidance for church practice.Resources“What Kind of Prophecy Continues? Defining the Differences between Continuationism and Cessationism” by Iain Duguid in Redeeming the Life of the Mind: Essays in Honor of Vern Poythress, ed. John Frame, Wayne Grudem and John Hughes, 112–28.What Are Spiritual Gifts? by Vern Poythress
How should we think about unclean spirits? What are demons? Is spiritual warfare real? What's so important about Samaria? In this episode, Emma Dotter and Ryan Garrahan, Watermark's Director of Community Formation, talk about why there was such an intense rivalry between Jews and Samaritans. Then, Emma unpacks unclean spirits, demons, the spiritual realm, and the confidence followers of Jesus have in the face of spiritual warfare. // ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: 1 Kings 16: 24; 11: 31-33; 2 Kings 17; Nehemiah 4: 2; John 4; Luke 10; Acts 1: 8; 8: 1; 1 Kings 16: 24; Ephesians 6: 12; 1 John 3: 8b; Colossians 2: 15; Hebrews 2: 14; Revelation 12: 9-11a; 20: 10; Deuteronomy 32: 16-17; Psalm 106: 35-37; 1 Corinthians 10: 20; 1 Samuel 16: 23; Mark 1: 27; Matthew 12: 28; 10: 5-8; Mark 3: 14-15; Luke 10: 17-20; Acts 16: 18; 19:11-12; 1 John 5: 19; 4: 4; Ephesians 4: 10, 26–27 // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:266 – Acts 7-8 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-266-acts-7-8/id1600151923?i=1000735540307) // RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY: Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem - https://a.co/d/0dDrzUwi // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY? Join The Journey is a realistic daily Bible reading plan that helps followers of Jesus at Watermark Community Church and beyond enjoy abiding in Jesus together. Join The Journey Jr. is designed to help parents guide their kids in Bible reading through interactive and age-specific lessons. In 2026, we're studying the book of Acts—one passage per week. For another year, teaching on Sunday will align with each week's passage. Then, for the next six days, we'll return to the same passage with fresh focus, exploring insights about who God is and how we can enjoy him more deeply. Monday through Saturday, we'll approach the same passage from a different perspective each day—whether observation, interpretation, prayer, or another spiritual practice—to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for God's Word. Then, watch or listen to the video podcast to tackle the week's toughest verses and discover key historical, theological, and practical insights.

Join Eric and special guests Dr. Grudem and Matt Soerens for an honest conversation about some of the different views Christians hold on borders and immigration.Welcoming the Stranger by Matthew SoerensPolitics According to the Bible and Bible Doctrine by Dr. GrudemDr. Wayne Grudem is a theologian, author, and former professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Phoenix Seminary. He has published twenty-two books and was also the General Editor for the ESV Study Bible.Matthew Soerens is the US Director of Church Mobilization for World Relief, where he helps evangelical churches to understand the realities of refugees and immigration and to respond in ways guided by biblical values. He also serves as the National Coordinator for the Evangelical Immigration Table.
Leading evangelical seminary plans move from United States to Canada.Trinity Evangelical Divinity School rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s under its second dean, Kenneth Kantzer. Its renowned faculty—including Don Carson, Walt Kaiser, John Woodbridge, Wayne Grudem, and Carl F. H. Henry—helped American evangelicals recover from the fundamentalist/modernist controversies of the early 20th century, as well as the inerrancy dispute that erupted at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1962.By the early 21st century, TEDS alumni, including David Wells, Mark Noll, Doug Moo, and Craig Blomberg, held research positions in other seminaries, while Michael Oh led the Lausanne Movement.Long plagued with financial problems, TEDS leaders announced in April they would close the campus north of Chicago after the current school year as they merge with and relocate to Trinity Western University in British Columbia. Kevin Vanhoozer announced that instead of moving to Canada, he would join the faculty at Wheaton College's Litfin Divinity School.In other blows to the long-standing influence of Chicago-area theological education, Northern Seminary struggled through a presidential transition, and Trinity Christian College announced its closure after more than 60 years. The balance of evangelical power in the United States continues to shift to the South.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Episode 2.38 (re-upload with correct audio file!)What counts as a real miracle—and why does it matter?In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael define what a biblical miracle is (and isn't), explore how miracles appear across Scripture, and reflect on their purpose in God's redemptive plan. Drawing from theologians like Wayne Grudem and John Frame, the episode highlights how miracles aren't just flashy interruptions but covenant-signs of God's power and faithfulness.Covered in this episode:– Defining miracles: Grudem vs. Frame– Why miracles are rare—and why that's the point– Old and New Testament miracle clusters– Why some eras (like Judges or today) see fewer miracles– The difference between miracles and providence– Whether miracles still happen today– Why the greatest miracle may be the new birthNot all wonders are miracles—but every true miracle points to the God who rules nature, time, and salvation itself.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/hrfwPeebGVYMerch 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

Practical theology is the bridge between knowing God's Word and living it out.. We're getting ready to launch a brand-new series on how biblical truth shapes everyday life.
Aug 3, 2025GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist Church The Kingdom And The Power ThereofMatthew 3:1-12Purpose of Matthew a) tell the story of Jesus b) apologetic and evangelistic c) explore the reality of the Kingdom d) catechetical- to teach the truths of Christianity and their ethical implications1. The proportionality of repentance, v. 1-3The Kingdom of heaven/God is best understood by two words… a) reign b) realm2. The requirement of baptism, v. 4-10 a) confession, v. 6 b) demonstration, v. 7-9Repentance is a change of mind and actions wherein we cease our approval of wickedness (in others) and justification of bad behavior (in self). It is foremost a decisive reorientation of one's life away from the self and toward the Lord. But this subsequent repentance flows from and confirms the initial act wherein we realize our desperate state, admit our need of pardon and come to Jesus in a childlike manner.c) sanctification, v.10“Sanctification is a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our actual lives.” -Wayne Grudem, Systematic TheologyGalatians 5:22-24“Repentance is an inward matter, which has its seat in the heart and soul, but afterwards yields its fruits in a change of life.” - John Calvin3.

Pastor Philip De Courcy charts us through the murky waters of indecision by answering the following questions: God has given us the stewardship of making decisions in life, but can you expand on the blessing and challenge this presents? What are common reasons behind indecision? Should someone seek to have "peace" before moving forward with a decision? When is it appropriate to take a step of faith? What posture should we have before the Lord when making decisions? If I make a decision that doesn't turn out so well, am I now living God's “second best?” Website: smilingatthefuturepodcast.comEmail: smilingatthefuturepodcast@gmail.com Support The Podcast: https://donorbox.org/smiling-at-2024“Off Color” Series by Philip De Courcy: https://ktt.org/sermons/series/off-colorRecommended Books: “How to Know God's Will” by Wayne Grudem “Decisions Made Simple” by Tim Chester“Found God's Will” by John MacArthur Related Episodes: 85.

Why is propaganda and empty rhetoric so appealing to some people? In this midweek episode, Frank explains how the first of 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis perfectly illustrates the way demons manipulate human beings, now and throughout history. He'll also explore the recent power struggles between the Trump Administration and the lower district court judge who blocked Trump's transgender military ban. Frank will answer questions like:Why is using "jargon" instead of evidence-based arguments not good thinking?What specific tactics does C.S. Lewis say demons use to tempt humans and where do we see evidence of this happening in our culture today?Do all people have the right or privilege to serve in the military?Was Trump's decision to say transgender people are not qualified to serve in the military unconstitutional?Why is it so difficult to impeach judges, and do we really have only three branches of government?What do a lot of people get wrong about Islam?Frank also tackles some listener questions about who will be resurrected (is it only Christians?) and whether an old-earth contradicts biblical genealogies. Plus, he'll reveal details about his numerous speaking events coming up this spring—so listen closely to see if he's coming to a city near you!Resources mentioned during the episode:The ScrewTape Letters by C.S.
