In this episode of Theology Central, we respond to the shocking and tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. We carefully separate fact from rumor, reflect on the human cost, examine the risks this moment may unleash, and consider how Christians must respond with grief, truth, and restraint. This is an episode about grief, truth, and resisting the normalization of political violence.
A full critique of a sermon against AI that's packed with misinformation, flawed hermeneutics, and irony—proving human error may be more dangerous than artificial intelligence itself.
We continue our look at how theology burrows from philosophy and rationalism
Theology doesn't stand alone—it's shaped by method. In this episode, we explore why the method for studying the Bible will directly affect the conclusions we come to about theology, the tension this creates with Section 1.1, and how induction and deduction enter the picture.
How do we know what's true? Christians often disagree while each claims "the Bible says…". This episode explores epistemology — philosophy, empiricism, revelation, and rationalism — and wrestles with whether truth is God's Word itself or our interpretations of it.

A look at a recent episode of Haven Today and their discussion of The Nicene Creed.
Saudi Arabia's new Islamic AI, Humain Chat, may signal the future: faith-shaped, ideology-driven intelligence. In this episode, we explore what it means when AI aligns with religion, culture, or belief systems—and what happens when truth is trained to match theology. Is this the rise of digital discipleship or the death of neutrality?
Alien: Earth imagines a future reshaped by humanity's quest for immortality. In this episode, we explore its opening vision, the eerie Peter Pan imagery, and what it all means theologically about our desire to be like God.
After the Minnesota school shooting, the call to "pray for the victims" returns. But what are we praying for—and to whom? This episode confronts the silence of God, the failure of clichés, and the need for honest lament over hollow theology. Raw. Theological. Honest.
In this episode of Song of the Summer 2025, we dive into Chappell Roan's raw and haunting single Subway. It's a song about grief, memory, and the struggle to let go. We break down the lyrics, explore the themes of haunting love, and reflect on what it reveals about longing, loss, and the gospel's promise of unfailing love.

This was excellent! Can you do a follow up? I feel you had a lot more to say!

My advice? This guy needs to go ahead and get some responsible teaching from somewhere to help understand that line of thinking. To post content like this highlights that he clearly doesn't understand the subject matter he's raised in this episode so would have been better to study up on it before making an episode on it shows up as incoherent rambling. He's clearly confused and this episode is passing on that confusion to others. 😁 This not a dig; there's an opportunity to learn here for him.

Very thought-provoking indeed.

For too long has the church been trying to TELL the world who Jesus Christ is instead of SHOWING its belief through its actions! Actions speak louder than words, people! ✝️
