Everyone wants exposure to AI, SpaceX, and the next generation of technology leaders. But Jonathan Wellum warns that even great businesses can become terrible investments when investors pay too much. As excitement around mega IPOs, AI infrastructure, and private-market giants reaches a fever pitch, Wellum explains the one question every investor should ask before chasing the next big thing: Are you buying a real business—or paying for a dream?

ABOUT THE EPISODEListen in as David Schrock and Stephen Wellum interview A.S. Ibrahim on his COA Longform Essay, "Inside the Muslim Mind: Seven Pillars of the Islamic Worldview"SponsorThis month, we're talking about how Christians engage with Islam, a conversation Southern Seminary has taken seriously for a long time. As President Al Mohler has put it, you can't prepare a minister for today's world without reckoning with Islam. That conviction is why Southern now offers a PhD in Islamic Studies, and why it's home to the Jenkins Center, a team devoted to helping pastors, missionaries, and everyday believers reach their Muslim neighbors with the gospel. To find resources and learn more about degrees, visit sbts.edu/islamicstudies. And be sure to listen to our interview with Dr Ayman Ibrahim, who is the head of the Jenkins Center.Resources to Click“Inside the Muslim Mind: Seven Pillars of the Islamic Worldview” – A.S.

Most follow Sikh traditions, seeking closeness to God through good works, equality, and devotion, yet few have heard the gospel clearly. Though Scripture and resources are available, there are no known believers among them. Pray for a spiritual hunger to grow, for the message of Jesus to be clearly understood, and for the first believers to boldly share Christ within their communities.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 05/31 19,095Giving For 06/07 76,526YTD Budget 1,696,154Giving 2,007,079 OVER/(UNDER) 310,925 Men's Fellowship Smoke OffNothing brings men together like BBQ!

How do progressive covenantalists understand Israel and the land promise?In this episode of Bible Sojourner, Peter Goeman reviews comments from Stephen Wellum in a recent interview with Grant Castleberry. Peter interacts with the core claims of progressive Covenantalism and talks about many of the presuppositions involved.The big questions in this discussion are these:• How does progressive covenantalism understand the people of Israel? • What happens to the Old Testament land promises? • Does Christ's role as the true Israel mean national Israel no longer has significance?• Does typology fulfill earlier promises in a way that sets aside their specific details?• What role should the New Testament and Old Testament play in shaping our hermeneutic?

This Sunday we are joined by Stephen Wellum, a professor, pastor, and friend of CCK, as he preaches a sermon from Isaiah 40.

In this conversation, Caleb and Stephen Wellum (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) Professor of Theology at Southern Seminary discuss the significance of baptism in relation to the biblical covenants. They explores the distinctions between the old and new covenants, the nature of the new covenant community, and the implications for church practices, particularly regarding baptism and church membership. The discussion highlights the necessity of conversion and faith for true church membership and the role of baptism as a sign of the new covenant.Resources: Believer's Baptism: Sign of the New Covenant in Christ edited by Tom Schreiner and Shawn WrightBaptism and the Relationship Between the Covenants by Steve WellumBaptism: Three Views edited by David WrightUnderstanding Four Views on Baptism edited by John Armstrong  and Paul EngleThe Baptism of Disciples Alone: A Covenantal Argument for Credobaptism Versus Paedobaptism by Fred MaloneBaptism in the Early Church: History, Theology, and Liturgy in the First Five Centuries Everett Ferguson

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice highlights Ottawa's pattern of putting politics and ideology ahead of evidence and common sense, and how the legacy media runs cover every step of the way. The National Telegraph founder Wyatt Claypool joins the show to discuss the Supreme Court's decision to pause the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's order to cull more than 400 ostriches in British Columbia. Despite the birds recovering from avian flu, the agency pushed ahead anyway, sparking protests, arrests, and outrage before the court stepped in. Next, Candice and Wyatt discuss Health Canada's decision to contradict President Trump and RFK Jr. on warnings about Tylenol use during pregnancy. Instead of addressing years of studies pointing to potential risks, officials sided with Big Pharma and dismissed the concerns simply to spite Trump. They also examine how Liberals continue funnelling money to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, an activist group with Antifa ties, even after President Trump signed an executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Finally, Candice is joined by RockLinc CEO Jonathan Wellum to examine Ottawa's looming “mega deficit.” With Carney preparing to spend billions more while capital and jobs flee, Wellum warns Canada is falling further behind as the U.S. reindustrializes under Trump.

ABOUT THE EPISODEChristianity hinges on history: if the Gospels are not trustworthy accounts of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, the faith collapses. But are they myth shaped by early belief, or historical testimony grounded in eyewitness experience and apostolic oversight?
