Luther’s “tower experience” and breakthrough moment on Sola Fide immediately transformed his understanding of Scripture. The Boys discuss how reading the Bible as an accounting of redemption (rather than a handbook of spirituality) will inevitably transform your perspective of the Bible. There’s an obvious correlation between Law-Gospel distinction and biblical unity.
You’re Not Crazy: “No… you’re not crazy.” The boys deliver this message pretty regularly to those Christians who’ve begun to notice the contradictions within Evangelicalism. Faithfulness has replaced faith. Moralism has replaced the Gospel. Improvement has supplanted redemption. How did things ever become so convoluted?
What does it mean to edify one another? It’s amazing what a simple little word of encouragement can do to a soul. Why are we more inclined to tear down rather than build up? How can we more effectively point each other to Christ?
The Boys pulled another one of our favorite episodes out of the vault and gave it a new intro and UNFILTERED. Enjoy!
Why do we struggle to pray? Have we turned prayer into a merit based system? The boys talk about the struggle and how we find hope in the gospel.
You’re not crazy. Contrary to a pietistic understanding the struggle of sin lasts deep into the Christian life. This is because sin runs deeper than we imagine. How has our understanding of progressive sanctification confused our view of sin’s effects? How does it differ from the consistent view in the confessions?
The Boys pulled one of our favorite episodes out of the vault and gave it a new intro and UNFILTERED. We hope you enjoy! #70 Leaving Pietism Part One - The unusual experience of transitioning from a pietistic world to a confessional one.
Losing A Generation: A cursory analysis of the current departure of young adults and millennials from the Evangelical church. Is it a reality? Where does their cynicism toward the church come from? How should the church respond?
Why you should stop trying to be happy. The negative side effects of pursuing happiness in your life. How we largely misunderstand the notion of happiness. How a biblical view of life and suffering puts it into perspective.
Fasting: A brief look into the history, benefits and potential problems with the Christian practice of fasting. Should we do it? Are we disobedient if we don’t? What about Lent? And then, we talk about food.
Reflections on this year’s conference. The boys discuss the theme, sermons and culture of the conference. We take issue with specific statements and theological dispositions. We also explain why we went in the first place.
