In Part 2 of Answering the Objections, we examine another passage cited against Revelation 19–20: Ezekiel 28. Reading the chapter in context and history, we ask a simple question—does this text actually describe Satan and fin...

Tonight I sat down to watch a boxing match and witnessed something I've never seen before in decades of watching the sport — a fighter literally lost his toupee mid-fight and threw it into the crowd.

As we work carefully through every major passage about judgment after death, a lengthy YouTube comment challenged the series, claiming key verses were being ignored and offering several proof texts to support annihilationism....

After a week of sickness and total exhaustion, I couldn't sleep—so I hit record. A late-night, unscripted reflection on limits, weakness, lament, and the theology you discover when your body forces you to stop.

I haven't been on the air since Sunday, and a few people have noticed. No, I didn't die—but I did get seriously sick. In this episode, I give an update, explain what's been going on, and reflect a bit on limits, burnout, and ...

We use the five layers to look at Psalm 40 and a sermon on Psalm 40

In a previous episode we carefully studied Psalm 62:1 in its context. In this episode, we go back and review the short sermon that originally sparked that study and ask a simple question: does this message actually explain th...

Psalm 62:1 is often used as a generic call to patience and trust—but is that what the verse is actually saying? In this episode, we slow down and read Psalm 62:1 in its literary, historical, and covenant context and discover ...

We often talk about asking questions of the Bible—but are we asking the right ones? This episode uses a recent article on curiosity in the Christian life as a springboard to introduce The Five Layers of Reading Any Biblical T...

In The Flood Problem –we ask why the flood happened and why the standard explanation doesn't actually work. If the flood was meant to deal with human sin, why does sin immediately explode again after it's over? And why does t...

After seeing in Part 1 how a 1988 sermon exposed a deep hermeneutical collapse, this episode steps back and asks a bigger question: what was fundamentalism originally, and how did it become what it is today?

In this episode, I discuss the 2025 film The Long Walk and why it affected me so deeply. After summarizing the movie and its story, I reflect on how it becomes a powerful picture of life itself—endurance, exhaustion, sufferin...

Using a 1988 sermon as our starting point, this episode asks a disturbing question: what if the sermon itself is part of the problem? Before debating methods or results, we examine how Scripture is being used—and what that re...

In John 5:28–29, Jesus makes one of His most staggering claims: all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—some to the resurrection of life, and some to the resurrection of damnation. In this episode, we exa...

We go back to 1 Peter 3:21 to figure out what Baptism the verse is referring to

The Flood and Baptism takes a careful look at 1 Peter 3:18–22—the only New Testament passage that directly connects the story of Noah's flood to Christian theology. Instead of repeating the familiar claim that "the ark is a p...

We continue our study of the book, Introduction to Systematic Theology. In this episode we begin looking at Genesis 6-9

In 1974, a preacher warned that Christians were already abandoning real Bible study in favor of shallow preaching and random reading. In this episode, we examine that sermon and discover how accurately it describes the state ...

Churches in America close every week, usually quietly and without much notice. In this episode, we look at what it actually means when a church comes to an end. Using a recently featured "sermon" that is really a congregation...

Daniel 12:2 is the first—and last—clear Old Testament passage to explicitly teach resurrection and judgment after death. So why does such a crucial doctrine appear so late in Israel's Scriptures?

Ruth 2 does not move with speeches or miracles—it moves with a workday. In this episode, we walk through Ruth 2:4–7 as Boaz arrives at his fields, notices a stranger, and asks a simple question that begins to shift the direct...

A single, harmless-sounding sentence can determine an entire theology before a sermon ever opens the Bible. In this episode, we examine how one unchallenged assumption about the world, God, and history quietly reshapes the go...
