Description

Established in the Truth exists to help you know the Word deeply, love the church genuinely, and enjoy the Lord more fully.


New episodes every other Wednesday.


We explore theological topics, spiritual formation, Christian apologetics and real-life application in light of the Gospel and God’s Word. Our name comes from the Apostle Peter’s exhortation in 2 Peter 1:12: “I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.”

In a world full of voices, Scripture alone gives us the firm foundation, the deep deep well, we need. Like other biblical podcasts, The Authentic Christian, The Ten Minute Bible Hour, and The Bible Study Podcast, our aim is to strengthen your faith, deepen your understanding of God’s Word, and encourage you to walk faithfully with Christ.
