In episode 53, I will be discussing and celebrating Reformation Day and the Protestant Reformation. As we look at the life and words of Martin Luther, we will see that the same formal principle and material principle of the Reformation still matters today. In fact, I believe that this might be the most important podcast that you listen to this year. Seriously.We are living in times of mass confusion and chaos. Christians are hard-pressed on every side. Controversies abound, conflicts rage, and various trials are afflicting the body of Christ. The needs of the church are great. The world is sick with sin. Death and darkness fills our land. Many people have questions. What is the solution and remedy for all of this?The truth of the Protestant Reformation provides us with the answer. There is nothing new under the sun. The world has see conflicts, trials, confusion, and darkness before. The time leading up to the Reformation was just such a time. And yet, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, everything began to change.No, the change wasn’t because Martin Luther was a perfect man. He was a flawed servant just like the rest of us. However, the Reformation got back to the fundamental root of two vitally important and necessary issues: First, the supreme and final authority of Scripture alone—Sola Scriptura. Second, the doctrine of justification by faith alone—Sola Fide.The Reformation was, at its heart, a return to the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles and bringing them back to light. At the center of the debate was the doctrine that man is justified by faith alone, apart from works of the law. These two pillars are what changed everything. The Reformation was the return to the authority of Scripture and to the true gospel.However, many people today are evidently tempted to yawn at these truths and dismiss the Reformation as if, “Yeah brother, we already know all of that. Talk about something relevant to our life like: politics, the economy, and the state of civilization.” Many people think the gospel only relates to salvation, and that it has nothing to do with these other issues.This is where I would say that this is the most important podcast that you will listen to this year. You see, what Martin Luther argued and demonstrated was, that the article of justification is central and supreme to every other doctrine. If you loose justification, you simultaneously loose everything. Justification matters for both salvation and for Christendom.In other words, would you see the world changed today? Then we need to get back to the heart of the Reformation. Yes, this has to do with the eternal salvation of souls, but this also has to do with politics, the economy, the family, education, business, and everything else. Furthermore, this has to do with bringing glory and honor to our triune God and Savior.The message of the Protestant Reformation is the message that God has always blessed, and which has always caused nations to flourish and prosper. It is God’s message, recorded in sacred Scripture, which the Holy Spirit himself baptizes with fire for the converting of souls and the transformation of civilization. This is the ancient path which we are to walk in.So, watch this to the end, and see it all unfold for yourself, as I briefly discuss the history of the Reformation, and then lay out the formal and material principles—Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide—of the Protestant Reformation. Here Luther will provide us with a great example of the pathway forward. May God bless these old truths for a new Reformation today.Soli Deo Gloria—Glory to God alone!

In episode 52, I will be presenting you with some heart-searching and weighty truths. We live in a day of ever-present distractions of every conceivable sort. The “bread and circuses” don’t just present themselves as mere “options” for our entertainment. They violently impose and press themselves into our daily lives with a strange addictive forcefulness.So, we’ll briefly look at the latest circus stunt with Elon Musk’s flying car, and then we’ll use that as an occasion to weigh all of the glory and excellence of collective humanity and put it in the scales next to the infinite worth of the glory of God. We will see that man cannot compare with God. Just because we face endless distractions doesn’t make them okay.Again, this podcast should prove to be a heart-searching and weighty. This is likely the most important thing that you listen to this week. Today we’re going to talk about sin and idolatry. Today we’re going to talk about the glory of God and His worship. Today we’re going to talk about the great things of God. So, as Jesus said, “He who has ears, let him hear!”

In episode 51, I will be discussing the recent news from the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and from the Pentagon—that former U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan will be publicly executed by a firing squad, and that this will be live streamed on the internet for all to see. So, at this significant moment in history, we need to ask three very important questions:1. Is the capital punishment and public execution biblical?2. Is the death sentence of Nidal Hasan just by a biblical standard?3. Is there an overarching narrative in this public execution which indicates a Psyop?Each of these three questions must be answered individually and categorically. Just because one is either true or not true, does not automatically either nullify or justify the other question. Each question requires its own distinct answer.In answering these specific questions, we will examine the overarching narrative in the news cycle including: the Lindsay Clancy murder case, the two botched lethal injections for Christa Pike, a fake protester and the Epstein files, federal agents raiding Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home, and the first international congress of Noahide Laws in Jerusalem.What we will see in this podcast is, that the overarching narrative takes us right back to Israel, Zionism, Judaism, and “the Jews.” In the midst of all of the enemies which are being targeted and openly set before our face, the common denominator is that all of them take our eyes off of Israel and Judaism, and redirect our attention to the left and to Islam.Yes, this is a lot to cover, but there is a logically consistent, clear, and overarching narrative that is forming during this “Psyop season.” This narrative is vitally important for Christians, not only because you could be the next target, but also because, by going along with the mob mentality you will are complicit in the sinful injustice of an evil totalitarian regime.The stakes here could not be higher. We are talking about the Great Commission, U.S. national security, and the future of America—all at the same time. These are things which pertain both to eternity and to human history. Our enemy is clever and deceitful. We must beware of Satan’s schemes. Here, some of these evil deeds will be exposed and made plain.Here you have news, journalism, conspiracy theories, and theology all brought together. Yes, this is necessary. These are the strange days in which we live. Wisdom, biblical discernment, and self-control are needed. May God use this humble podcasting effort to bless, equip, and encourage his people for the strange and difficult days which lie ahead of us.Soli Deo Gloria.

In episode 50, I will give the history of the modern use of the term "Conspiracy Theorist" from the original unclassified CIA government document, and I will be answering 3 basic questions with regard to Christians and conspiracy theories:1. Should Christians embrace conspiracy theories, or should they outright reject them?2. If Christians do embrace conspiracy theories, are there any potential dangers that they need to beware of?3. What is the proper use of conspiracy theories for the Christian, if any?My hope is that this will prove helpful and beneficial both to those who adamantly reject conspiracy theories, as well as to those who heartily embrace them. There are ditches on both sides of the conspiracy debate. My goal is to help people avoid both ditches, and to walk along the straight and narrow path which leads to life. May this podcast serve you well!

In episode 49, I will give some practical advice for men. These are the kinds of things that will be useful to men whether (1) they are single and trying to stay single like the apostle Paul, (2) single and hoping to get married, or (3) men who are already married. In other words, this practical counsel is intended to build men up no matter where they are at in life.In this podcast, I’ll lay a biblical foundation for two categories of manliness, namely, spiritual and physical. First and foremost, Christian men are to grow in godliness. However, Christian men are also to be disciplined and to physically train themselves. So, we’ll discuss everything from cultivating spiritual discipline to having healthy testosterone levels.What we will see is that in order for a man to thrive his life must be one of settled conviction, fixed priorities, discipline, and self-control. Manliness doesn’t happen automatically. In a world designed to make men effeminate, where you are also daily battling your own indwelling sin, you will have to put forth an intentional effort to cultivate genuine manliness.The greatest need of our day is for more godly men to lead. God doesn’t typically bless institutions. He blesses the efforts of individual men. Currently, there is a great shortage of godly men. May God raise up many such men our day!
