There is a dangerous syncretism today. Many American Christians have sought to synthesize the worldly doctrine that man is 'basically good' with classic, Protestant Christianity, and what they've created is a system very like that proposed by the 5th century heretic, Pelagius. In this episode, by looking at an article by R.C. Sproul titled, The Pelagian Captivity of the Church, we discuss how Pelagius' views contradict the teachings of Scripture and reject the heart of the gospel - grace. The new podcast website: www.holybold.webnode.comFollow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online // Spotify 

To respond to the doctrine of Prevenient Grace, we watched this video from Dr. W. Brian Shelton and Seven Minute Seminary. In this episode, we examine John 12:32, Romans 2:4, and Titus 2:11, which according to John Wesley - the most prominent Arminian of all time - are three of the four key verses that support the doctrine of Prevenient Grace.  I assert that none of them, understood in context, support any such doctrine. 

To respond to the doctrine of Prevenient Grace, we watched this video from Dr. W. Brian Shelton and Seven Minute Seminary.

In this episode, I play a sermon for you that I gave a couple years ago while serving as a youth pastor. In a series called Death by Zeitgeist, we discussed a variety of topics about which Christians are being misled by the culture and the proper Christian responses. This sermon, which was the third in the series, addresses the topic of transgenderism.  Resources:Family Policy Institute of Washington (YouTube Channel)The audio from the other sermons in the Death by Zeitgeist series.(Dropbox folder for file downloads.) Follow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online // Spotify

In this episode, we discuss the idea of "Lived Experience," a term that is used to claim particular unquestionable and infallible knowledge that comes from our subjective experience. This so-called knowledge is the primary basis used to justify the social justice movement and the subversion of biblical authority in the church. But is "Lived Experience" to be trusted? That's what we'll discuss on this episode!Here's a link to the meme that inspired the episode.  Helpful Resources:New Discourses website. Follow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online // Spotify

Theologian Charles Hodge said rightly, "The Bible is a plain book." But if Scripture is clear, why do so many Christians in our day feign ignorance when the hard questions are asked? In this episode, we discuss the doctrine of Perspicuity, or the clarity of Scripture.

In this episode, we discuss the odd and unbiblical desire to differentiate between joy and happiness. In doing so, we pull so redefine 'joy' that it is unrecognizable when compared with biblical joy. Christians need to take back joy and become happy warriors. Follow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online // Spotify

This is a long one, but it's worth it. There are few Christian virtues as underappreciated today as boldness. In fact, while few Christians would actually discourage boldness, many Christians would scoff at or flee from the practical applications of boldness described in Scripture. Why is that?  In this episode, we'll discuss it.Follow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online // Spotify  

This week, we examine the topic of holiness as it relates to mankind. What does it mean for a person to be holy? How has the modern church misconstrued this idea, and what does Scripture actually reveal about it?  Follow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online

In this Excursus, we watch a brief clip that has been flying around the internet from Ms. Sarah Silverman's podcast in which she rejects the doctrine of hell. While this may be considered somewhat superfluous, given that she also rejects the existence of God himself, we pause a moment to examine the Christian doctrine of hell and why Christians should not be ashamed of it.  Follow The Pod:On Twitter // On Facebook // On YouTube // Online
