    The Top 10 Theology Stories of 2023

    We're debating a list of the year's top theology news from The Gospel Coalition, and then a question posed by frequent guest of the show Karen Swallow Prior: when does free speech go too far? Later, a sermon clip from Rich Villodas: "there's no brokenness beyond God's ability to repair."

Then, a lot of people are convinced Jesus is coming back, Aubrey reflects on the Amplify conference that happened yesterday at Wheaton College, and what ChatGPT has to say about fall.

    Is tipping actually a matter of loving our neighbor?

    Is tipping actually a matter of loving our neighbor?

    The Gospel Coalition seems to have an opinion, as evidenced by a recent article: Generous Tipping to Honor the King. Then, can Christians vote for Democrats?, do we really need to do good works?, and, via Christianity Today, the ministry of staying put

    En este episodio conversaremos acerca del diseño de Dios para el matrimonio y te ayudaremos a identificar aquellos ídolos del corazón que suelen minar la vida marital, impidiéndonos disfrutar la pureza y bendición del regalo de la sexualidad.

    Are we really still surprised by the uproar over Twitter changes?

    Social media continues to change and Brian thinks our expectations need to change with it. Then, are we as a society getting more rude? The closure of a Michelin-starred restaurant may be an interesting case study. And later, from an article on The Gospel Coalition, how do we handle sexual content in movies?, and Brian and Aubrey revisit our best source of hope: the fundamental basics of the gospel.

    Is the border really about to "open" with the end of Title 42?

    Is the border really about to "open" with the end of Title 42?

    Josh Butler, who wrote that icky article about sex for The Gospel Coalition, has resigned because he doesn't want his church to be impacted by the controversy. Did he make the right choice? Then, an interview with Matt Soerens, VP of Advocacy and Policy at World Relief, discusses the end of Title 42 and troops being sent to the border--and from Buzzfeed, people are talking about "social norms that people think need to be abolished, like yesterday"... do NOT miss number 5.

    82 - The Gospel Coalition Cancels Pastor Josh Butler

    In this episode, I discuss the cancelation of Josh Butler, author of Beautiful Union, from the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. We look at various reactions to Josh’s article from evangelicals associated with The Gospel Coalition as well as endorsers of the book and the fallout. I dive into what this reveals about the broader landscape of evangelicalism.

    Brian doesn't want you to choose a 'word' for the year

    ...not really, but he does wonder why no one chooses a word like "exhaustion". But first, Brian and Aubrey talk about an article from The Gospel Coalition about protecting your soul when your profession ‘requires’ a platform. They also ask each other: what are you doing well as a parent, and what could you do better?

    Why women need to be extra cautious with social media

    Sarah Zylstra of The Gospel Coalition shares with Brian and Steve about why she left social media–and why she feels women in general should be cautious about using it. Then, the intoxication of making people laugh from onstage affects pastors too. Brian and Steve ask about the danger of a narcissist pastor, big churches, and big falls.

    How to Endure Pain and Loss with Heavenly Hope {Nancy Guthrie}

    How to Endure Pain and Loss with Heavenly Hope {Nancy Guthrie}

    Does the pain of loss ever go away? Is there hope for wholeness and healing, after a lifetime of hurt? 

    We experience loss differently when we know the full story. Like when you go the funeral of someone you know and love, rather than a stranger. We have a fuller understanding of what has been broken. And we have a deeper longing for resolution.

    In  this last episode on The True Story of the Beginning series, we're going to turn our attention to the end of the story. That part we're still longing for, which we get a glimpse of in Revelation—the book that comes at the very end of our Bibles.

    I'm so delighted to have Nancy Guthrie back to talk with me about Genesis 1-3 and Revelation 21-22.

    You'll remember that Nancy was with us in our first episode of this series, where we talked about Eden's Fall. Nancy Guthrie is an author, speaker and Bible teacher, who hosts several podcasts with the Gospel Coalition

    24 - When “Gospel-Centered” Isn’t Gospel Enough

    24 - When “Gospel-Centered” Isn’t Gospel Enough

    In this episode, we'll discuss the idea of being "gospel-centered" as well as some vulnerabilities of a truncated gospel message. Often people use the phrase “gospel-centered” to emphasize a focus on justification and soteriology while at times ignoring larger gospel themes in the Bible. How does this play out today? Who might be guilty of this truncated gospel? What movements have popularized the idea of being “gospel-centered?”

The LeHayes, Phyllis Schlafly. James Dobson, Mark Driscoll, Promise Keepers, John Piper, The Gospel Coalition and the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and much more.
