Former Baptist pastor Ken Hensley continues his series with Matt Swaim and Kenny Burchard about how the theological framework of Dispensationalism began to fall apart for him.
A major theme in the story of God's chosen people Israel is the "Promised Land." Ken Hensley unpacks what was involved in that promise in the generations leading up to Jesus. Was that promise ever fulfilled, and if so, how was it fulfilled?
This sets the stage for our next episode, when we'll discuss how this theme recurs in the teachings and prophecies of the New Testament.
The Coming Home Network was established to help inquiring clergy and laity of various faiths -- or even no faith at all -- with fellowship, resources, and encouragement as they explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.

From The Late Great Planet Earth to Left Behind and beyond, millions of Christians have subscribed, knowingly or unknowingly, to the conclusions of a theological system known as Dispensationalism, which makes claims not only about the end of the world and the return of Jesus, but also about the nature of covenants in Scripture.
Ken Hensley, a former Baptist pastor who came to faith in the 1970's through the witness of Christian friends who were dispensationalists, shares a window into how that shaped his approach to Scripture, and how his perspective on the Bible has developed since those early days.
He talks to Matt Swaim and Kenny Burchard about what Dispensationalism is, how it originated, and the internal logic that drives it.
This is the first in an extended series of episodes on Dispensationalism from a Catholic perspective -- stay tuned as we continue the conversation in the coming weeks!

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
Reformed theology argues that Abraham was justified by faith alone the moment he first believed.
But when was that moment?
When he left his home in Ur to follow God? When he believed in God's promise of offspring twenty-five years later? When he was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac?
All these are pointed to in the New Testament as moments when Abraham was considered righteous by God for his faithful action.
Former Baptist pastor Ken Hensley unpacks what these three distinct events mean for the Biblical understanding of salvation and justification.

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
Former Baptist pastor Ken Hensley shares some of the things he began to discover about Luther's development of the doctrine of salvation by faith alone.
Ken started to see that Luther's teaching was based on a specific set of key verses, but whenever Luther's conclusions were contradicted by some other part of Scripture, it required him to either dismiss those verses, or somehow modify their meaning so that they could fit into Luther's teaching.

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
Former Baptist pastor Ken Hensley shares how one of the most important distinctions a Christian can make in regard to faith and works is this: are we employees, working for a wage from God for our efforts, or are we patients, willingly allowing ourselves to be treated, and taking the steps to make healthy decisions as prescribed by our Great Physician?

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
Throughout his letters, especially in his messages to the Galatians and Romans, St. Paul warns against boasting in a works-based righteousness.
So what kind of "works" was Paul talking about?
Former Baptist pastor Ken Hensley dives into the text to demonstrate what it is that Paul was actually condemning when he spoke against the idea of salvation by works of the law.

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
As a Baptist pastor, Ken Hensley was becoming more and more aware of the prominent Old Testament pattern of faith, followed by obedience, followed by reward, and he wondered: did this pattern continue in the New Testament, or was it replaced by "faith alone"?
Ken shares what he found when he looked more deeply into the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels, and St. Paul in his epistles, regarding the relationship between faith and works in the plan of salvation.

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their discussion about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
As a Baptist pastor, Ken Hensley began to discover that his Reformation-inspired understanding of faith being rewarded by salvation, and followed by obedience, didn't match up with the pattern he saw in the Old Testament, of faith, followed by obedience, and then reward.
He shares how this began to shift his thinking as to what the Bible really taught about what it means to be saved.

Matt Swaim talks to former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard about one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: what is the Gospel?
As a Baptist pastor, Ken Hensley believed and preached that salvation was by faith alone, apart from works, and that it is accomplished entirely by God; otherwise we could boast about our role in the process.
Ken shares how Martin Luther came to develop his theology of salvation by faith alone, the Scriptures he used to argue for it, and how it came into conflict with the prevailing historic Christian idea of humans cooperating with God's grace on the path to salvation.

Matt, Ken, and Kenny conclude their series looking at the formal teaching of the Catholic Church on the doctrine of Purgatory.
They wrap up the discussion by focusing on how the Catholic Church really sees Purgatory at the end of the day: as a final purification in the presence of a person, that person being Jesus Christ, whose light dispels all darkness, and who desires eternal fellowship with us all.

Matt, Ken, and Kenny continue their series looking at the formal teaching of the Catholic Church on the doctrine of Purgatory.
This time they address one of the biggest objections to the concept of Purgatory: the story of the thief on the cross, who died alongside Jesus and was promised paradise. He wasn't even baptized!
So how should we think of the Good Thief's story in the context of Catholic teaching on Purgatory?

I have stated before that this is my favorite podcast. And I do it again today. Thanks guys.
Awesome episode. I enjoyed it a lot. As a Catholic from Latin America, I can confirm that many Catholics (especially if they don't know their faith very well or have fallen into a religious routine) go to Pentecostal churches looking for the sensations and emotions that those services give them. In my country, which is more secular than others in the region, after several years jumping from one church to another, those people just stop believing in God.
Definitely, On the Journey is one of my favorite podcasts. Thanks a million.
This was an awesome series. I enjoy every series. But really enjoyed this one. Thanks very much.
I love your podcast. I've learned so much, and with every cliff hanger I get more and more excited. Thanks for your work.
Thanks very much for making these video conversations a podcast. It makes it easier to listen to them at work. I enjoy these discussions very much. 😊
