2Pastor Dale Partridge explores the history and theology of infant baptism.

In this episode, Pastor Dale Partridge dives into the distinctions between Biblical Patriarchy and Complementarianism. He explains how Patriarchy is rooted in nature as a fixed and unchanging design, while Complementarianism focuses on flexible and fluid roles. Pastor Dale will discusses how the framework of Complementarianism has contributed to the rise of feminism within the church and broader culture, offering thought-provoking insights into these important theological concepts.
In this episode of *Welcome to Reformed Theology*, Dale unpacks Covenant Theology, explaining how it contrasts with Dispensational Theology and shapes our understanding of key biblical covenants.

Join us as we break down these important concepts and uncover how they impact the broader scope of Reformed theology.
Welcome to the sixth episode of "Welcome to Reformed Theology." In this episode, Dale tackles some key questions about Calvinism: Is it biblical? Did it originate with John Calvin? And why do so many modern Christians wrestle with its concepts? Building on the last episode's discussion of God's sovereignty, this episode dives deeper into Calvinism—also known as the Doctrines of Grace—and its focus on God's sovereign control over salvation. Join us as we explore this vital attribute of God's throne, held uniquely and supremely by the one true God.
**Podcast Episode Description:**
Welcome to part five of Dale’s twelve-part series, *Welcome to Reformed Theology*, recorded for King’s Way Reformed Church in Prescott, AZ. In this episode, Dale explores the doctrine of the sovereignty of God—a cornerstone of Reformed theology. Through a thoughtful overview of key scriptures, Dale challenges listeners to reconsider the depth of God’s involvement in every aspect of life. Since the sovereignty of God is often a stumbling block for those new to Reformed doctrine, this session aims to build a solid foundation for understanding and appreciating this profound truth.
This is the fourth installment of our 12-part series, *Welcome to Reformed Theology*. In this episode, Dale delves into the art and science of hermeneutics, offering an overview of the AOIMA process. AOIMA stands for **Analysis, Observation, Interpretation, Meaning, and Application**—a vital skill set that every Christian should strive to learn.
The reliability and sufficiency of Scripture affirm that the Bible is trustworthy and entirely adequate for guiding faith and practice. Its reliability stems from its divine inspiration, historical accuracy, fulfilled prophecies, and preservation over centuries. The sufficiency of Scripture means it contains all we need for salvation, spiritual growth, and godly living, as outlined in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. It provides a complete framework for understanding God, humanity, and redemption without requiring supplementary revelations or texts. While tradition, reason, and experience can complement, they must align with and submit to Scripture's authority. Trusting in the reliability and sufficiency of God’s Word equips believers to navigate life with confidence, grounded in His truth.
In this episode Dale is going over Sola Scriptura which is a foundational doctrine in Protestant theology that asserts Scripture alone as the supreme authority in matters of faith and practice. This means that the Bible is seen as the ultimate and final guide for what Christians believe and how they should live, surpassing any other authority, such as church tradition, councils, or church leaders. The doctrine emerged as a central tenet of the Reformation, distinguishing Protestant beliefs from those of the Catholic Church, which also regards tradition and the authority of the Church as key sources of truth.
In this episode, Pastor Dale Partridge starts a 12-week Bible study, introducing his congregation at King's Way Church in Prescott, Arizona to the doctrines of Reformed Theology.

In this episode Dale refutes some of the heretical doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church regarding Mary's birth and death.
In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge begins a three-part series on refuting Catholic doctrines about Mary, focusing first on the perpetual virginity of Mary. Drawing on both Scripture and theological analysis, Dale critiques Catholic claims by examining biblical evidence, including references to Jesus' siblings, which challenge the idea of Mary’s perpetual virginity. The discussion highlights the importance of these Marian dogmas within Catholicism, where denial leads to excommunication and is seen as jeopardizing salvation. For Protestants, refuting these doctrines is vital to upholding biblical authority and Christ-centered theology.
In this episode, Pastor Dale Partridge is joined by Corbin Clarke, a fellow elder at King's Way Church, to discuss the recent controversy on X surrounding their church's viral flyer.
In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge addresses the doctrine of "Perseverance of the Saints," also known as "Once Saved, Always Saved," a central tenet of Calvinism. He explains that true salvation, once granted by God's grace, cannot be lost because it is God who sustains the believer's faith, not human effort. Pastor Dale contrasts this with the legalistic belief that one can lose salvation and must work to keep it, highlighting that faith is a divine gift rather than an intellectual decision. Through scriptural references, he emphasizes that saving faith is a supernatural trust in Christ, produced by the Holy Spirit, and that our spiritual life and understanding are entirely dependent on God's initiative, not our own will or works.
Real Christianity with Dale Partridge dives into the practical and biblical aspects of living a faithful Christian life in today's world. In this episode, Dale discusses the often-overlooked biblical call for Christian men to excel in their work and earn more than their non-believing counterparts. Drawing from his extensive background in business and ministry, Dale challenges the church's current perspectives on work and wealth, advocating for a holistic approach that integrates faith and vocation. Join Dale as he addresses the disparity between Christian and secular work ethics, urging believers to strive for excellence and impact in every area of life.
In this episode of Real Christianity, Dale Partridge explores one of Calvinism's most controversial teachings: limited atonement. He makes a compelling case for embracing all five points of Calvinism as an interconnected theological system. These points include Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints.
Partridge tackles common criticisms head-on, demonstrating how rejecting limited atonement can weaken the entire Calvinist framework. He provides historical context and recommends resources for those seeking a deeper understanding of these concepts.
Whether you're looking to strengthen your grasp of Reformed theology or learn how to defend the doctrines of grace, this episode offers valuable insights into a complex and often misunderstood aspect of Christian thought.
In this episode of Real Christianity, host Dale Partridge delves into the doctrine of total depravity as part of an ongoing series on Calvinism. Joined by another elder from Kingsway Church in Prescott, Arizona, Dale addresses the historical background of Calvinism and tackles part two of the series, focusing on total depravity. Tune in as Dale discusses the common objections to this doctrine, providing insightful refutations and a deeper understanding of this fundamental aspect of Calvinist theology.
In this episode of Real Christianity, Dale Partridge walks listeners through a lecture he presented to the men at Kings Way Church. In today's digital age, traditional gatekeepers of information have been overtaken by social media platforms, resulting in an overflow of unregulated content. This flood of information has caused widespread dissemination and contributed to a pervasive sense of confusion and institutional distrust within our culture. Confusion, in this context, is merely a symptom of lacking the right information, leading to disorder and a deficit of wisdom.
As secularism erodes at society’s remaining Christian values, many are running to the Roman Catholic Church for a sense of stability. But big institutions aren’t safe if they’re dead. Join Dale Partridge as he discusses the allure and danger of the Roman Catholic Church.

Thank you so much for this truth! Former catholic, baptized and saved by grace August 2022!
One of the most biblically sound podcasts out there! Love how clearly explained the topics are each episode.
I used to like listening to this podcast but now he always pushes Calvinism and always speaks against traditional church service format. I get it that the modern church service format is off in many ways, but to always talk about how only the house church format is the correct way to worship is not correct either.
Your guest speculated "what if there's another 25,000 years of church history [ahead]?" This won't be the case Dale. I just finished the book "Genetic entropy" by christian scientist Dr John Sanford in which he meticulously shows how mutations in each new generation make the gene pool more and more corrupt (disproving that evolution can even occur) and resulting in more and more genetic diseases and creatures less fit to survive than previous generations. We are heading toward extinction and there is nothing we can do about it. Our only hope is in Christ to restore all things, so Christ MUST return soon or we (humanity) will all die out in a few generations. We have had 6,000 years of genetic corruption, we cannot withstand another 25,000 years of it. As one evolutionist was quoted in Dr Sanford's book "we should be dead 100 times over!" Search www.creation.com for articles about this, and to buy Dr Sanford's book.
Wouldn’t the institutional church say that what you’re describing happens in small group gatherings?
I remember sharing the leggings blog entry back when it came out! And I got negative comments about it, so I can only imagine what you guys went through. I never put two and two together & remembered her last name! So cool.
I enjoy and appreciate the teaching in this podcast. It's great to learn what the scriptures really say.
Thank you.
"79% of young Christians leave the church by age 18-25" The reason for this is that they hit high school and get indoctrinated with the "fact" of evolution and this destroys the spiritual foundation of Genesis 1-11 (creation in 6 days, man's fall, the curse of sin, the flood) which in turn destroys the gospel and the need for a saviour. These kids don't stand a chance if they cannot defend their faith in the truth of scripture from the first chapter onward. Parents, get a subscription to Creation magazine (see creation.com) and buy books and dvd's with creationist educational materials to fortify your children against evolutionist propaganda. And read them for yourselves too, so you are better able to give a reason for the hope you have in Jesus.
Sorry but I'm not convinced by your (Dale's) reasonings for the Sabbath being Sunday. The biblical arguments I've heard from 7th Day Adventists make much more sense. Dale ignores the fact that the 10 commandments were written by God's finger IN STONE meaning they remain in force forever, and includes the Sabbath commandment. That one also begins with "remember" which does not mean "copy me" but means "remember, don't forget!" as God knew people would forget about the Sabbath. Dale also ignore the 3 angels in Revelation, one of whom points back to the 4th commandment when he says "Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water." Rev 14:7 The language is similar to the 4th commandment. The 4th commandment also contains the seal of God. A seal gives a person's name, their office, and the region of their dominion. The 4th commandment contains all 3 of these: Exodus 20:11 (NIV) For in six days the LORD Yehovah (name) made (office - creator) the heavens and th
