What does it actually mean to “keep the law”? In this episode, Lex Lutheran and I react to popular Christian takes that blur law and gospel—turning commands into promises and promises into pressure. We walk through why the law must remain law, why the gospel must remain gospel, and how confusing the two burdens consciences rather than freeing them. This distinction isn’t academic—it’s pastoral, biblical, and necessary for faith. Here is the video by Dr. Eric Phillips that we react to at the ...
In this episode of The Study Boys, Lex Lutheran and I dive into Druski's latest satirical take on megachurch culture and prosperity gospel trends. We're not here to defend bad theology—quite the opposite. We believe that humor can be a wake-up call. It's a healthy challenge for the Church to discern, to mark and avoid what's harmful, and to guide people toward healthier, Christ-centered communities. Tune in and let’s talk about why a little satire might just be what we need. #TheStudyBoys #D...
In this episode of The Study Boys, Lex Lutheran and FLAME respectfully disagree with Dr. Anthony Bradley’s claim that Reformed Christian Hip Hop “failed” in Black communities due to a supposed mismatch in atonement emphasis. Bradley argues that the traditional Black church has always centered Christus Victor and the Resurrection, while Reformed movements brought doctrine-driven shame instead of victory. Lex and FLAME contend the opposite: Christian Hip Hop overwhelmingly reached—and continu...
Why do Christians go to church? Is it for community? Routine? Tradition? A good message? Or something else? In this episode of The Study Boys, Lex Lutheran and FLAME walk through the most common reasons people give for going to church—and then contrast them with the biblical reasons Scripture actually gives. From consumer-driven answers to Christ-centered truth, we make the case that church is not about what we bring, but about what God gives: His Word and Sacraments, His forgiveness, His g...
Is Christmas pagan? Is it man-made? Or is it something far better? On this installment of The Study Boys, Lex Lutheran and I engage the claims often made about Christmas—especially the accusation that it’s pagan or merely a human tradition. We respond negatively by showing what Christmas is not, and positively by confessing what Christmas is. We interact with a video by R. L. Solberg, author, theologian, and professor based in Nashville, who addresses and debunks common myths surrounding Ch...
In this episode of our podcast, Lex Lutheran and I (FLAME) are joined by Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller to dive into the controversial topic of generational curses. We tackle the question: has Jesus truly broken every curse, or do some still linger? We're reacting to a video by Abednego Lufile and Kevin L.A. Ewing, who argue that while Jesus has indeed granted us forgiveness of sins, certain temporal curses—like sickness or generational struggles—remain because of "open spiritual doors" from ancest...
In this episode, FLAME and Lex Lutheran explore why defending the Christian faith is not about being divisive or mean-spirited, but is a necessary part of staying true to biblical teaching. They react to a video by Christa Petzold (author of Journey Through Church History, Gathered by Christ, and the New Augsburg Trilogy) and also discuss Kirk Cameron’s view on annihilationism and Jesse Duplantis’ false notion that God the Son took on human flesh because of some supposed perfect quality in hu...
In this episode, Flame & Lex Lutheran to tackle a big question: can a Christian truly fall away from the faith? They dive into a video by Chad Bird, who breaks down the topic using Scripture and even a little Greek. It's a lively discussion on a controversial issue, and we're unpacking all sides. Tune in for some thoughtful insights, a bit of back-and-forth, and a solid dose of theology! #ChristianPodcast #TheologyTalk #Lutheran #SalvationDebate #FaithDiscussion #ChadBird #LexLutheran #Fl...
In this episode of The Study Boys, FLAME and Lex Lutheran dive into the tricky waters of how the doctrine of the Trinity can get distorted. We break down Mike Todd’s recent explanation, showing how he uses the right word—Trinity—but fills it with the wrong meaning, essentially promoting a form of modalism. We also look at how figures like Waka Flocka and NLE the Great have engaged with these ideas, sometimes stumbling into similar misunderstandings. Join us as we unpack why understanding the ...
FLAME and Lex Lutheran are back with Episode #12 of The Study Boys Podcast! In this one, we sit down with the Extra Nos Academy Collective to react to a Fighting for the Faith episode featuring Pastor Chris Rosebrough, tackling the question: What is revival—and are we in one right now? Here is the full video by Pastor Rosebrough https://youtu.be/fJHPrNGN6fI?si=HlD7k4IIEOCeWaJt We take a close look at the 2023 Asbury Revival, exploring whether it represents a genuine move of the Holy Spirit o...
In this episode (11), The Study Boys and the entire Extra Nos Music Collective react to Forrest Frank's recent decision to forgo attending the Dove Awards. Forrest says he doesn't feel worthy of the accolades and declined to show up. We ask: Is that genuine humility or misplaced piety? Could it reflect deeper confusion about vocation, identity, and Christian freedom? We also talk about the pressures of the music industry, what the Bible says about honoring others, and how a Lutheran understa...
🎙️ Episode 10 — The Bible Is Not Enough Says T.D. Jakes and Priscilla Shirer In this episode of The Study Boys, we unpack a growing problem in modern Christianity—trusting “another word” outside of God’s Word. From popular conference teachings to viral sermon clips, we’re seeing a trend where human impressions, personal revelations, and “fresh words” are treated as equal—or even superior—to Holy Scripture. We explore why that’s dangerous, how it undermines the sufficiency of God’s Word, and w...
In this episode of The Study Boys, FLAME and Lex Lutheran dive into Marvin Winans’ viral comment that a $1,235 offering “wasn’t enough” to give to the church. They unpack what’s behind statements like that — exploring questions about generosity, stewardship, pastoral responsibility, and the tension between faith and finances. Is giving about grace or guilt? Worship or works? The boys dig into what Scripture actually teaches about giving, contentment, and the heart of worship — all whi...
In this next episode (#8) of The Study Boys, FLAME and Lex Lutheran dive into a conversation that unfolded on Den of Kings—Kirk Franklin’s show—where NLE The Great, Kirk Franklin, KevOnStage, Ray J, and Dr. Jay Barnett discuss mental health among men, particularly Black men. FLAME and Lex Lutheran explore how seasoned Christian voices could have better instructed NLE The Great in his confusion concerning the nature of the Godhead, salvation, and the person of Christ. They highlight a crucial...

Ruslan of Bless God Studios asks if Protestant Communion is too casual. Lex Lutheran and FLAME respond with a deeper dive into the Eucharist: Scripture, history, and theology on the Lord's Supper—where Christ gives His true body and blood for you.
Religion vs. Relationship?A False Choice (S1E5) Lex Lutheran and FLAME react to Pastor Jonathan Fisk and dig into the popular slogan, “Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.” We show why that either/or frame is unhealthy and unbiblical—and how the Gospel gives us a better both/and: a living relationship with Christ within the religion He actually gives His Church (Word and Sacrament, confession and creed, prayer and community). Instead of pitting doctrine against devotion, or church ...
The Study Boys Season 3, Episode 4: This week Lex Lutheran and FLAME react to a video featuring Pastor Brian Wolfmueller and Andrew Packer, weighing in on their take about Christian influencers speaking as voices of authority without formal Bible or theological training.

The Study Boys Season 3, Episode 3: This week we dive into a critical discussion of Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell’s baptistic view of baptism, weighing it against the historic teaching of the Church. From the Nicene Creed to passages like 1 Peter 3:21–22, Acts 22:16, Mark 16:16, and Acts 2:38, we explore how the Scriptures and tradition speak with clarity about baptism’s saving work.
