In this sermon from New Hope Community Church, delve into the profound teachings of Hebrews 10:19–31. Explore the significance of the local church as a refuge from judgment, the importance of steadfast faith and the consequences of willfully separating oneself from the church. Reflect on the crucial role of fellowship and unity in the church,...
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, or you will be condemned. 13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one...
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.” 5 In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and...
13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes....
1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you...
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down...
James 3:1–12 (ESV)
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.
Is there comfort in Christ found outside of local churches? I think there is a trend of Christians devaluing God’s means of grace or the means God uses to give grace to His beloved people. Belonging to a local church gives us the expectation that God will use His means to save and sanctify us.
The brothers discuss the distinction between perseverance and preservation, and they aren’t opposed to each other.
We get back to our series on 2 Peter’s supplements for 2022. You can find the first two episode in this series here and here. This week we discuss the call to supplement our faith with knowledge, which is the God given blessing of being able to apply the truth of scripture to life.
Scott and Gage talk about our tendency to avoid Christian practices for fear that they could be abused or used wrongly.
In this episode, I review Genesis 17. After many years had gone by, God reiterates His promise to Abram and institutes the covenant sign of circumcision. In this review, we will see a connection between circumcision in the Old Testament and baptism in the New Testament. We will also see the significance of these sacraments...
In this episode, Sean and Dan discuss the latest State of Theology survey from Ligonier Ministries.
If all food tasted the same, it would be pretty boring and bland. What if all people and cultures were the same? We should rejoice in the ethnic diversity of the catholic (or universal) church through the ages. Ethnic and cultural diversity is a marvelous thing and evidence of God’s creativity.
God is holy, and so is His will. How does this square with evil? Join me as I discuss essential volition and permissive volition.
The brothers continue to discuss good works and how they are a necessary outcome of the Spirit’s saving work.
Welcome back to Part 2 of Restless’s review of the Season Finale of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. In part 1 we cover what CT had to say about the Aftermath of Mars Hill. Now in part two we deconstruct the lessons CT wants us to learn.
Neo-Kenoticism takes texts like Matthew 24:26 and infers ignorance in the Person of Christ, not only according to His humanity, but also according to His deity. Such error reflects a need for partitive exegesis and whole-Bible interpretation.
Blake, Justin, and Eric kick back, discuss their controversial choice of a spirit to taste, and enjoy a rich and brotherly discussion about theology, church, confessions, and some really bad puns. The trio play a riff on a TV game show, discuss strong opinions about spirits and theological positions, and reflect on the past 3...
Welcome to Part 1 of Restless’s 2 part review of the Season Finale of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. In part 1 we cover what CT had to say about the Aftermath of Mars Hill.
The guys are back in the book of Romans, this week taking a good chunk of time to read and reflect upon the 5th chapter of this epistle. The kick back and sip Old Raj Gin, sent in by our friend Andrew – and they crack some jokes early in the show before getting down...
Blake and Justin are joined by Chortles Weakly and Wresbyterian of Presbycast to discuss Presbyterian Polity. The group sip Evan Williams White Label before diving into a primer on what exactly makes Presbyterians Presbyterian, and talking a bit about how that plays out practical in the local, regional, and national levels.
In this deep, yet helpful episode, Sean and Dan sit down with Dr. James Dolezal to discuss the Incarnation. This is an often-misconstrued doctrine among evangelicals.
To belong to Christ is to belong to those who also belong to Christ. Salvation is not an individualistic thing, it is ultimately a corporate thing. We are saved into union with Christ and his precious church, his body. We belong to one another. We are united to one another in Christ. Rejoice in this...
This week Restless reviews the Episode The Tempest from The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. This is the best episode in series and is the one we recommend you listen to if you would like to know what brought Mars Hill to an end, that is assuming you want to listen for 2 and...
The brothers take a turn to the practical as they discuss the important practice of regular repentance.
In this episode, I review Genesis 15 and 16. We will see a key Christian doctrine as Abram (Abraham) believes God’s promise. Bible References: (Genesis 3:15; Genesis 15; Genesis 16)
What is the kingdom of Christ? Is it distinct from natural or secular institutions? Does it overlap?
Steve Estes is the senior pastor of Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. He’s been there for around 40 years. He obtained an undergrad degree from Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) and a post-grad degree from Westminster Theological Seminary (WTS). He’s on the board of CCEF (Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation) and has taught a course on preaching...
Is it true unbelievers are covenant members in an objective sense? This is an important question because the answer really determines whether the new covenant is attained by grace alone or by the participant’s faithfulness.
Sean and Dan sit down with Pascal Denault to discuss covenant theology. Was a blessed discussion.
The church was from the beginning. Throughout history, God has been redeeming a people by Himself for Himself. To belong to Christ is to belong to Christ’s church. The existence of the church is comforting because it reminds us that Christ is redeeming his people, gathering them, defending them, preserving them, protecting them, and ever...
This weeks review of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hills’ episode “Red Sky At Morning”. We discuss the medium and message and the church and why mass market appeal isn’t that appealing long term. Here is us reacting to the the entirety of the now memory holed TGC multi-site discussion The Thesis of this...
Timothy Brindle is not only a hip-hop recording artist and author, he is the Assistant Pastor at Olive Street Presbyterian Church in Coatsville. His message from Psalm 42 has much to offer you and will be worth your time. Give Timothy your ear and find out more about him at timothybrindleministries.com. Children’s Books from Timothy...
Doug Wilson is often disparaged on tonal grounds. I am not the tone-police. Instead, I have prayerfully chosen to address three concerning doctrinal issues in Doug’s theology which I feel are significant enough to warrant some heavy pushback. This is just something initiatory in view of producing more content along these lines.
It is not uncommon that professing Christians live estranged from local churches. They confess Christ and love for him, yet they do not submit themselves to a local church. Why is this? How could someone claim to love Christ while consciously and intentionally refusing to love the Bride of Christ? This series is meant to...
Restless does this reaction just for free for you all and probably because many of the conservative YRR types listen to as much or more of the Daily Wire than Matt does. Here is the clip from the Ben Shapiro Sunday Special.
Some meditations on Galatians 5:4. This is a text we will be walking through during our Wednesday night Bible study.
This is the Seasons Finale of this year’s Restless Summer. We hang out with a friend of the show is who now a PCA church planter. There are surprises, personal revelations and a give away all along the way. As we ask can confessionally reformed people be about church planting?
In this episode, I review Genesis 12-14. We will see God’s plan to defeat Satan continue to unfold as God promises Abraham that He will make him a great nation. Bible References: (Genesis 3:15; Genesis 12, Genesis 13; Genesis 14) Westminster Shorter Catechism, Questions 23, 24, 25, 26
The brothers talk about sanctification and how God’s work in us should drive us to good works.
Eric is back with Blake and Justin! The trio are joined by Joe Thorn of the Doctrine & Devotion Podcast. The guys drink Bulleit Bourbon and discuss Baptist ecclesiology, the SBC, and confessionalism. So pour a bourbon, kick back, light a cigar, and enjoy the conversation!
I think we all long to truly rest, but do we know how? Do we know how to use the Lord’s Day to maximize our comfort and rest in Christ? Perhaps many of our societal problems would be diminished if Christians knew how to truly rest, how to draw more comfort from the Lord’s Day....
Here, I attempt not to criticize theonomy as a position, nor criticize my theonomic friends. Rather, I try to point out how some who hold the position may inadvertently run the risk of advertising what amounts to a conservative version of the social gospel.
With the Greek language comes the concepts it was historically used to convey. The Apostle Paul, while no Aristotelian philosopher, certainly assumed an Aristotelian philosophy of being as all educated persons largely did in the 1st century.
We get back to our series on 2 Peter’s supplements for 2022. You can find the first two episode in this series here and here. This is our second take at this with the first one sadly being lost forever. This is also Pastor Michael’s flu game episode. This week we discuss the call to...
Here I briefly describe natural law, positive law, and theonomy. In light of the distinction I make between natural and positive laws, I note some issues with theonomic reconstruction.
The brothers discuss an oft overlooked step in the Ordo Salutis, and how the Spirit is central to this stage of salvation.
Sean and Dan continue through the Ten Commandments series from Dennis Prager focusing on (what Christians consider to be) the second commandment.
Growing up Mennonite, I was a bit nervous as a kid about the potential of ending up in court and needing to swear an oath on the Bible. What would I do? Mennonites don’t take oaths. Or do they? Tune in to think through the topic of Christians swearing lawful oaths. If you’re an Anabaptist...
In this episode, I review Genesis 9-11. We will see God’s plan to defeat Satan continue to unfold. Bible References: (Genesis 1:28; Genesis 3:5; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 8:17; Genesis 9; Genesis 10; Genesis 11; Matthew 1:1-16; Romans 9:6-8; Ephesians 2:8-9) Westminster Shorter Catechism, Questions 92, 94, 96
Mistakes were made. Our regularly scheduled episode for this week went to be with all the lost internet things. So instead you get to hear us react to modern Mark Driscoll Sermon clips from his 2021 best rants youtube video. All we can say is we hope you enjoy. Check back in next week for...
The brothers switch it up and talk about conversion. What is it? Who does it? How is it related to 2 Kings 6:1-7
The guys kick back, sip some Blanton’s single barrel bourbon, and reflect upon the doctrine of God and some of the things we learned last week.
In this episode, Sean and I sit down with one of our team members, Andrew Warrick, to discuss the Incarnation.
Reverend Kevin DeYoung wrote an article to explain a leadership principle from the recent Wyoming Primary. Well the internet was big mad on behalf of Liz Cheney. Restless did what it does best. We came to be the side kick of Laser Eye KDY. We laugh our way through his critics, with love.
I’ve encountered Christians who don’t seem to realize they are blaspheming God. They use God’s majestic name in casual and trivial ways, and they don’t seem to know the seriousness of this sin. I’ve done it before, and God has helped me be more sensitive to this. How do you use God’s name? Are you...

Restless reflects on Matt Chandler stepping aside from his ministry. What’s going on? And will there be any New Calvinists left at the front of the YRR movement? The episode is both personal in its reflection and considers if we can contribute these to broader trends.
Restless reflects on Matt Chandler stepping aside from his ministry. What’s going on? And will there be any New Calvinists left at the front of the YRR movement? The episode is both personal in its reflection and considers if we can contribute these to broader trends.
Double the imputation, double the fun. The brothers talk about double imputation and its centrality to the Gospel.
This week, we’re thrilled to have Dr. James Dolezal on the podcast to discuss Divine Simplicity and Classical Christian Theism. The guys sip Talisker Distiller’s Edition before settling in to listen as Dr. Dolezal lays out some important aspects of the piece of the Doctrine of God.
In this episode, Sean and I go through the second video in Dennis Prager’s Ten Commandments series.
Considering many things like the popularity of The Chosen, Christmas traditions, children’s Sunday School curricula, and religious jewelry, it is obvious that many Christians believe it’s good to depict Jesus. But has the church in recent years carefully considered the meaning and extent of the second commandment? Has the church considered its Christology carefully enough?...
Justification by faith alone is a central belief in Reformed theology. But what is faith? The brothers discuss what faith is and why it is so central to get this right.
Dr Matthew Hoskin of Davenant Hall joins us this Restless Summer to give us Five things we should know about the Desert Fathers. Is this pretty far afield our normal show? Yes.
Adam’s sin affected the entire human race. The result of this was wickedness. Due to the corruption of man’s sin, God acted according to His justice and flooded the earth with the flood of water. However, God rescued Noah and his family in an ark. But why did He rescue Noah? The answer may not...
What does “Love is love” mean? Is love something that our culture truly understands? Considering we live in a secular society where God is not regarded as truth, many are confused about true love. Tune in to join me in thinking about true love as it relates to God’s law. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY WORSHIP:...
Restless is joined by Pastor and Author CR Wiley. We discuss his excellent book Man of the House. We discuss the benefits of practical work, reaching blue collar people, and the steps we can all take to move beyond being one dimensional.
The brothers finish their discussion of effectual calling by covering the inward call, and why it is so vital to keep the inward and outward distinct.
Today, my guest, Scott Meadows, and I will be discussing the first half of 2LBCF ch. 1, Of the Holy Scriptures. What’s it’s historical context? Does it sow the seeds of presuppositionalism? Our hope is that this episode will be clarifying as to the meaning of the first chapter of the confession, especially as it...
Is conversion a sensational experience that happens only one time in someone’s life? Is conversion repeating a prayer after an evangelist or preacher and walking an aisle? Having a Biblical understanding of conversion is comforting and encouraging. Conversion is more than what many Christians think. Much more in some cases. May this episode clarify conversion...
The brothers start their discussion of the theology of salvation in a place you might not expect it.
The Restless boys were pulled away from their beloved Restless summer when TGC shared a long pull quote on Instagram. The Quote read, Every culture and nation must find common consent in public ethics, specifically on what is prohibited, permitted, and promoted for the common good. True toleration must include living peaceably with deep differences. Most...
Why do we live in a sinful world? Adam sinned against a holy God by eating the forbidden fruit. Did that affect Adam alone? No, he represented all of us in the Garden of Eden. Cain shows that sin affects all of mankind when he killed his brother. In this episode, I continue my survey...
We should fear God. But should the fear of losing our salvation motivate us to good works or should confidence in the grace of God motivate us to good works? In sanctification, thankfulness for receiving God’s grace motivates us to live for Christ. The gospel at work in us produces fruit. Tune in to better...
We have covered a couple of key items already: the word “tradition,” and the apostolic nature of the great tradition. Here, we situate the great tradition in relation to Scripture.
We interview Colin Redemer from the Davenant Institute, on the foundations and importance of education. If you have ever considered seminary or further Christian education this is an interview for you. We cover some of what he recently wrote in an article for the Ad Fontes journal called, Creeds and Credentials: On Education and The...
In the first part, we looked at the word “tradition.” In this part, we will define the great tradition as apostolic tradition.
In this introduction to our new series on God’s law, Sean and I work our way through the first video of Dennis Prager’s video series on The Ten Commandments.
I’ve decided to talk a little bit about a short series on 2 Thessalonians 2:15 we are going through at victorybaptistkc.org. I have quite a bit of material, and I’m amassing more. So, this may turn into a video series here. Stay tuned!
When it comes to worship, if we are primarily thinking about unbelievers, we are not primarily thinking about Christ. Our desire for unbelievers to attend worship to hear the gospel may sometimes get us into trouble in this way. We may want to avoid offending them, to make them comfortable, and in doing this, we...
We brought back our friend who Pastors in the LCMS to play yea, nay or nuance with the 5 Points of Calvinism. This was originally going to be content for the loyal Patrons, but with Calvinism trending we thought it was best to release this to the world.
Anthony gives a brief update on his MBA progress before Amy discusses and reviews Who Needs a Friend When You Can Make a Disciple? by Barbara Enter & Gina Weinmann.

Anthony gives a brief update on his MBA progress before Amy discusses and reviews Who Needs a Friend When You Can Make a Disciple? by Barbara Enter & Gina Weinmann.
Do you ever wonder why you sin? Do you ever wonder why life is so hard? God told us why in the book of Genesis. In Genesis 3, we see the fall of mankind and God’s promise to redeem His creation. In this episode, I continue my survey of Genesis by reviewing chapter 3.
The brothers discuss the nature of prophecy and how it relates to the Prophetic office of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unity is amazing, and we should strive for it and enjoy it. However, there can be no true unity where there are irreconcilable differences about the gospel. Are Protestants and Romanists (Roman Catholics) together? Do we have unity in Christ? We should not forget why the Reformation happened and that there still exist irreconcilable differences....
Do you struggle with the assurance of salvation? If so, where do you look expecting to find comfort? Do you look at yourself or at Christ? Tune in for encouragement to look to Christ for the assurance of salvation. God has given wonderful places to look! DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY WORSHIP: (1) Why do you...
Restless continues this wonderful Restless summer with an interview with an LCMS Pastor. This Pastor and Friend of the show winsomely explains why no Lutheran is Winsome. He comes and explains 5 points to help Reformed Evangelicals understand the Lutherans who won’t play with anyone else on the theological playground. (his explanation not ours)
Episode 100….finally! We’re sorry for the hiatus. It was mostly my (Anthony’s) fault. I was pulling 60+ hour weeks for a 7-week Finance class for my MBA (and another class besides that) and just did not have the time or energy to devote to podcasting. Thank the Lord I got an ‘A’ in both classes....
Scott and Gage wade into the controversy of how to conduct oneself on social media as a Christian.
The brothers wrap up the metaphysics of the Incarnation with a discussion of the unity of Christ’s person, and how all of this metaphysical discussion is grounded in the mediatorial office of Christ.
Thats right you did not misread this. This podcast is 2 and half hours long. Rather this podcast is 150 minutes long. We are celebrating having crossed more than 150k downloads. So we attempt a continuous podcast for 150 minutes. Good times and trouble are sure to follow. We react to Tim Keller on The...
The brothers discuss the Hypostatic Union and how it is vital to preserve the distinction of natures in Christ.
Sometimes commands leave a bitter taste in our mouths. Why is that? If God’s good commands leave a bad taste in our mouth, perhaps we don’t love what is being commanded. God commands the Lord’s Supper; we must obey Him by participating. That said, do we love the promises God gives us in the Lord’s...
We had even more to talk to Aaron Renn about. The majority of the conversation is the about the problems with our elites and grill Americans. However unlike most conversations about the elite this one should be empowering. Aaron Renn is a Senior Fellow and Co-Founder of the American Reformer. Renn has done a lot of...
Continuing our Christology series, this week we’re picking up where we left off in the 8th chapter of our Reformed Confessions regarding Christ the mediator. We sip a spirit we bought four years ago the first time we live streamed a tasting and conversation — Colonel EH Taylor Single Barrel bourbon!
Does John 10:30 only teach that the Father and Son are one in purpose? Or, does it more strongly and predominantly refer to their unity of essence?
A special episode for your forth of July. A jovial Yea, Nay or nuance discussing if the church should be singing the battle hymn of the republic. Hope this song gets you pumped to make disciples. More Restless Summer coming this week
The brothers discuss Christ’s true humanity, and why a proper understanding of the incarnation is vital to the Christian life.
The ecumenical creeds and Reformed catechisms greatly help us understand how to think about the Bible. They were not created or accepted by one person but rather by many discerning Christians. Millions of Christians through the centuries have confessed them. If we act like we’re the first ones to read the Bible, we’ll fall into...
The Old Testament is not always easy to understand. There are several reasons for this. First, it was written over two thousand years ago. The original audience was a different culture than ours. Also, the Old Testament was written in a different language. This creates challenges when translating. Furthermore, our approach to reading the Bible...
Do you realize that baptism is an ongoing part of how God encourages and strengthens you on your wearying road to eternal life? It will help you to slow down and think about what God is promising you in your baptism, and how He will comfort you through this divine gift. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY...
The guys are back with a rye in the glass this week. They crack open the Reformed Confessions (WCF and 1689 respectively) to read Chapter 8: Of Christ the Mediator. This is just the first part, there’s so many good things to unpack!
We are joined by Aaron Renn, Senior Fellow and Co-Founder of the American Reformer. This is the first part of our interview with him this Restless summer. We discuss the institutional and cultural lens he uses to look at the world. Renn has done a lot of great work on the conservative movement and the evangelical involvement....
This is the farewell episode of the Steady Anchor Podcast. After three years of discussions on Christian faith and practice from a Reformed Baptist perspective, Luke the host is moving on to new things. If you want to keep up with him, you can follow on Twitter @schmeltzer1689. Steady Anchor Podcast episode will remain archived...
Another attribute that makes God is amazing His omniscience. As humans, we are often reminded how much we don’t know. God knows everything down to the smallest detail. Does the Bible really speak about this? If God knows everything why doesn’t he stop the bad things that He knows will happen? What does it means...
Tony is joined by Blake from the Distilling Theology Podcast to discuss the problematic Biblical Methodology that leads to a variety of heretical and suborthodox Christologies.
The guys are joined by our friend Tony Arsenal of Reformed Brotherhood Podcast to discuss the application of Chalcedonian Christology. We shuffled our release order slightly from our recordings, so we reference an episode on Christ the Mediator which will come out next. The trio kick back, sip Vermont Spirits No 14 Bourbon, and dive...
We had a great time interviewing PCA Pastor Aldo Leon. Follow that Link to follow him on twitter. Listen how this Buddhist boxer became a Christian, traversed the country in YRR circles, and now is a confessional pastor in a PCA church. Right now both he and Pastor Michael at the PCA GA. We will...
It is crucial that we discern between what is proper to divinity and what is proper to the creature, especially when it comes to our Christology. Our Lord necessarily implies a distinction between His divine and human natures in John 12:44. Both Poole and Aquinas pick up on the distinction in their commentary.
John Gill offers eight formal lines of evidence supporting the claim of Scripture’s divine origin and authority.
Tony joins the guys from Distilling Theology for two distinct podcasts, and one episode, just for this week.
The sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper are often not as valued as they ought to be. Do you realize how important the sacraments are for your ongoing strength and growth in Christ? The sacraments are God’s big gift to you; unwrap them and benefit from them. To learn more about the sacraments and...
Some people wonder how people were saved in the Old Testament prior to the coming of Christ. People were justified by believing God. There are many examples of this in the Old Testament. We even see the same thing in the New Testament. In this episode, I define faith and review several acts of simple...
The brothers set the stage for the next major phase of the fundamentals series: The person and work of Christ.
Tony preaches out of the 2nd chapter of James, and unpacks for the congregation what the Sin of Partiality actually is.
Christians do good works by God’s grace and Spirit, but do good works count toward their righteous standing before God? Is Christ our righteousness or are Christ and our good works our righteousness? Tune in for comfort for the soul. CLARIFICATION: When I say at the end of the podcast, “will reward us with grace...
This episode is a review of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill’s episode – The Bobby Knight Problem. This episode is the first review without clips. College basketball fans will be disappointed but we hope to deliver for ours.
In this episode, Rev. Michael Brown unpacks Christ’s Great Commission to his church from Matthew 28. This message comes out of California, however, Michael is now serving Chiesa Riformata Filadelfia in Milan. He preaches in Italian. One more faithful pastor doing faithful ministry in a “small town” (or massive city) of the world.
Tony teaches the congregation how one receives the Word and what being a doer of the Word looks like.
Tony is away this week, so Jesse welcomes our newest Brother/Scholar in Residence, Brandon Adams! Brandon joins the show to discuss the 1689 Federalist position as we finish out the Covenant Theology section of our trek through Systematic Theology. Brandon lives in Woodland, WA with his wife and two boys. He is the editor of...
Is it important for you and me to believe the Apostles’ Creed, indeed everything in it? If we believe the Apostles’ Creed, how does that help or benefit us? Believing the gospel is critical to having comfort in life and death, especially considering how much we sin in thought, word, and deed. Take comfort in...
When believers die do they immediately receive a new body as they enter the presence of Jesus? Some Christians seem confused about the resurrection of the body on the last day. Tune in to finetune your beliefs about the resurrection of your body. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY WORSHIP: (1) Should we be ashamed as Christians...
Recently The Gospel Coalition launched a series they have named “The Good Faith Debates“. So today on Restless we look at each debate topic and decide if it will lead to a good faith debate among Evangelicals. We do this through a game we like to play called yea, nay or nuance. We also address...
This is a bonus episode from our patreon hangout. We watch and react to a clip of John MacArthur responding to the problematic urban mandate.
Given the recent SCOTUS leak, this is a timely discussion with one of our team members, Travis Rogers. You can purchase Travis’ book on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Unaborted-Trut… Travis faithfully served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years (2000 – 2020), retiring as a Chief Petty Officer. From 2008-2017, he acted as Protestant Lay Leader onboard...
We are finally getting back to our series on 2 Peter’s supplements for 2022. Go grab this older episode to hear on overview. We start with faith.
This week, the guys kick back, sip some barrel proof 291 Single Barrel bourbon and discuss the Chalcedonian Definition as a way to dip into our Christology series.
The Bible speaks of fruit on several occasions. You have fruit in keeping with repentance and the fruit of the Spirit. Both are works of the Holy Spirit. But are they the same thing? In this episode, I talk about the fruit of repentance and the fruit of the Spirit and where the two overlap....
This week Anthony and Amy consider Proverbs 20:4 and ask the hard question, “Are You a Sluggard?”
What does it mean to confess “I believe in . . . the holy catholic church”? Protestants may not like confessing that, but they should, and the line should bring them great comfort. Tune in to learn why. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY WORSHIP: (1) What does the word catholic mean? (2) Why is the title...
We all have regret, things we wish we had done differently. Many people have broken marriages, troubled children, financial problems, or many other things. But truthfully, all of us have failed. However, God is gracious and sovereign. He is able to use our failure for our good. Not only that, our failures cannot thwart the...
This episode of Tim Keller Watch we discuss another recent tweet thread. However this time we are joined a by an esteemed round table to discuss this subject of politics, the church, Christian unity, and public morality. Yes, all this from a tweet thread. There are disagreements, but we great enjoyed the round table and...

What a joy to know that the Lord gives peace. Amy shares more of what she’s learning from Jerry Bridges’ book, “The Practice of Godliness.”
In this episode, Sean and I look at chapter 11 of An Orthodox Catechism by Hercules Collins.
The brothers cover some old ground in a new light as they discuss the importance of the much neglected doctrine of the Covenant of Works.
The Holy Spirit is a tremendous gift to the church. Believers would not survive in their battle against their flesh, the world, and the devil without the Holy Spirit.

Why would God save you? With the help of Dr. Dane Ortlund’s “Gentle and Lowly,” we delve into one of the most beautiful truths in the Bible. Simply put, God saves us because He is merciful. We are not saved because we are particularly lovely. God doesn’t save us because He needed to. We haven’t...
We’ve all had those moments when we felt like our world was falling apart. The death of a loved one, serious financial crisis, broken marriage, you name it. There’s a reason why our worlds fall apart, but there are things you can do to find encouragement and hope. In this episode, I share some tips...
Hermeneutics is the science of textual interpretation. In this case, it is the science of Biblical interpretation, specifically. How do Bible readers derive meaning from the text? Is it in virtue of understanding what the human author intended and what his historical audience would have understood?
In this episode, we talk with Andrew Warrick on the proper use of analogy when talking about God.
A.

Have you ever been to a funeral or memorial service where you got the impression that the pastor and congregation believe everyone goes to heaven?

A. The Scriptures make known what God is, the persons in the Godhead, his decrees, and the execution of his decrees.

Was Mark Driscoll’s testimony manufactured? Christianity Today thinks and lays out the case in Questioning the Origin Myth from The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.

The omnipresence is another attribute of God that blows the minds of us created folk. Is God really everywhere? Learning about this amazing truth of God is not purposeless. This attribute brings comfort to those that trust in Christ and terror to the unbeliever. Oh, btw, is God present in hell?
A. The Scriptures principally teach what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man. Genesis 1:1 (ESV)1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

There’s a lot of talk these days about what complementarianism is and isn’t. What does the Bible mean when it says–when God says–the husband is the head of the home and the wife is to submit to her husband? Is it as bad as the egalitarian’s like to paint it? In this episode, Anthony and...
We run through a tweet thread by Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile, suggested by a listener. He has been taking criticism for comments from a conference regarding using a female for pastors. Well He did not appreciate it.

In this episode, we discuss with Dr. James Dolezal divine providence and concepts surrounding it including the so-called “problem of evil”.
When we sin, maybe sin big, we feel like we need to make it up to God and others. We carry the weight of needing to pay off a debt we can’t pay. The message of the gospel is that Jesus paid our sin debt in full to free us from the weight of the...
On this episode, the Brothers talk about how a robust doctrine of the Trinity is beneficial to our practical piety. Although a simple confession is just fine, it is a sign of growing maturity to be able to go deeper. The Trinity is a mysterious topic. It’s okay if you don’t understand it all. A...
Well this is unexpected we just broke the 100k podcast download ceiling so to celebrate next week we are going daily again. We know the hits and we will keep them coming.
How are we to understand an eternal covenant of redemption in God in light of a single essence in three relations—Father, Son, and Spirit? In other words, if there is but a single will of God (will is a property of essence, not person), how are we to understand the Father sending the Son, the...

Landon Jones, a particular baptist and listener, joins us to tell us 5 things about reformed baptist polity.

After a looooong time away, Andrew and Caleb dive back into The Wonderful Works of God, looking at the Being of God. Can God be known by man? What does it mean that God is immanent and transcendent? What kind of language does God uses to reveal himself to man? What happens when immanence or...

In this episode, Daniel discusses Ecclesiastes 12 and what a biblical philosophy really is.
“I would never do that!” Have you ever said or thought this when people hurt you in some way? The thought that we are above certain sins seems to suggest a certain self-righteousness and naivete. Apart from God’s grace, we are all capable of unspeakable evil. The doctrine of original sin is humbling and pushes...
The brothers backtrack just a little bit to cover an important, but often overlooked, distinction in Theology Proper.
Westminster, Particular Baptist, and General Baptist Christians universally affirmed what is not termed “hyper-simplicity” in the 17th century as is further demonstrated by the General Baptist publication, ‘An Orthodox Creed’ in 1678/79.
We have returned to reviewing the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill with the next Episode- State of Emergency. If you are with Christianity Today we would like you to remember what we are doing is the definition of fair use. If you are our listener we would like you to remember ecclesiology matters.
We are finally back with another episode! We do a quick update of what we’ve been up to, then we bring on our guests Joseph and Sarah Marquez. They share their experience as being Calvinist in a church that rejects the doctrines of grace. There are so many believers around the world that share the...
This week the guys are joined once again by Dr. Kim Riddlebarger to discuss Reformed Paedobaptism. They sip Balvenie Single Barrel 15 year and dive into the Presbyterian distinctives.
In this episode Anthony & Amy talk about the fact that every believer has been drafted into service for the Lord. Every one of us is in ministry!
Caleb and Andrew wrap up their discussion of the Mosaic Covenant by looking at an issue closely related to the republication debate–the law/gospel distinction. How has Reformed theology historically understood this distinction? What are the three uses of the law, and how do they help us understand these issues? Plus, some final notes on republication...
In this episode, we respond to James White’s Christmas Eve article titled, “Person, Subsistence, and Debating Roger Perkins”.
The Goodness of God is a reflection of His perfect character and the heart of Christ toward us, and it shows us how we should reflect the goodness of God in gratitude.
The brothers close out the Scripture portion of the Fundamentals series by talking about how Scripture is our clear rule for faith and practice.
Don’t forget to take you supplements today! And we don’t just mean vitamin D and zinc. We mean we had a discussion regarding 2 Peter 1:3-8. We think it is a fitting end to the 12 Days of Restless.
Some Christians who hate wearing masks make a popular argument against masks. The argument is that wearing masks conceals the image of God in the face of man. Is this argument legitimate? What is the image of God in man? This is an important theological question with important implications.
Is the classical or confessional doctrine of divine simplicity and extended version of what everyone used to confess? Is it just philosophically bloated speculation? Some of our brothers have made this claim. But is it true?
Caleb and Andrew return from a long hiatus to continue discussing the Mosaic Covenant–specifically, the republication debate. Does Galatians teach republication? What can Calvin tell us about these issues?
The Protestant Reformation is a major event in the history of the church. As the Catholic church shifted from its biblical roots, the reformers worked diligently to return the church to its biblical foundation. Key teachings of the reformation are found in the five solas. In this episode, I discuss the five solas and help...
A. The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God; but his word and Spirit only do sufficiently and effectually reveal him unto men for their salvation. Psalm 19:1–3 (ESV)1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2...
In this episode, Restless reacts to an old clip of a JD Greer sermon curated by the woke preacher clips guy. It has been waiting in a ‘to do’ folder for some reason. The 12 days of Restless will finish this week with our normal episode coming this Wednesday.
Besetting sins. They are shameful. They are unsettling. Why haven’t we gotten beyond certain sins? The gospel is our confidence and hope in the face of our besetting sins. Sometimes certain theological truths, like our ongoing struggle against our sinful nature, may seem quite discouraging, but when thought about the right way, when thought about...
Every believer is called and equipped to encourage others. In this episode Anthony and Amy discuss the believer’s ministry of encouragement and offer easy ways all of us can put a little wind in someone’s sails.
In this episode, we discuss what consistent hermeneutics are as we come to the Scriptures .
We’re back and continuing our conversation on baptism. Our part-time co-host Eric joins the guys for a fun discussion on the credobaptist theology of the 1689 confession of faith. The guys sip Ardbeg An Oa while they get in some good intramural teasing. Amidst the laughs and spirits, there’s some great discussion on the topic...
The 12 days of Restless takes break from the modern debate on twitter to take look a inter-presbyterian debate from the 1860s.
Ray Ortlund took to twitter to share his crazy proposal with his Pastor friends. Restless responds and by the end reads a long Martin Luther quote you will not want to miss!
Lecrae tweeted about his home communion practice. And the Lord’s Supper is Important enough that you are basically getting a full episode.
One thing that sets Christianity apart from other religions is how people get to heaven. Many people believe they have to earn their way to heaven. Furthermore, they actually believe they can. However, all of us are guilty of violating God’s holy law. Therefore, how can anyone earn their way to heaven when they are...
Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile Crowd sourced this question on Twitter: Can you think of any passage of scripture… where Jesus… rebukes, condemns, anathematizes, ambushes, stalls, harasses or verbally fights… a woman? We come to help.
How can we “make the most of every opportunity” a new year affords to glorify God? In this Part II episode, Anthony and Amy discuss how each of them did with their 2021 goals, and help us think about our goals for the year ahead.
Restless returns to the Kevin DeYoung Article about the 4 teams of the YRR and brings the old discussion of Christ in Culture into the podcast.
Happy New Year! May the Lord bless you in 2022. If we desire to live holy lives for the glory of God, we must understand how holiness is inseparable from sound doctrine. Many Christians do not seem to have a clear doctrinal statement for their lives. Here is where catechisms and confessions are really helpful....
A. Man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever. Psalm 16:5–11 (ESV) 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who...
The patriarch of the Reformed Brotherhood, and its resident pastor, joins the brothers for a discussion about pastoral theology.
Day 5 of The 12 Days of Restless- Tim Keller tweeted about the heart of the Gospel and much to his surprise he had to clarify what he meant. Twitter was not happy. Later he linked to this helpful article called “Imitating The Incarnation” by B.B. Warfield.
How would a 4th century Cappadocian inform today’s controversy over ERAS? Let’s take a look…
Some have recently utilized both Dr. Richard Muller and John Calvin to downplay any place for natural theology. What we will see is that neither Muller nor Calvin remove natural theology altogether from Reformed thought.
Day 4 of the 12 Days of Restless- we review an article where TGC asked an economist if Christians should own Bitcoin who answered with a hard Nay.
Jesus shocked His audience when He told a simple parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Imagine what they would have thought when they found out a despicable man was justified by God and their hero was not. Like Jesus’ audience many people today don’t really understand how a person is justified. In this...
Day 2 of the 12 days of Restless. We cover Matt Chandler’s recent comments on deconstruction.
Day 3 of the 12 Days of Restless. Relevant was worried you might have made the Bible an idol. We were worried this was the king of bad takes.
Day 1 of the 12 days of Restless. We discuss Kevin DeYoung’s most recent “controversy”.
In this Analysis I perform some analysis of Dr. White’s use of Basil, Basil’s intended meaning through some exegesis of his letters 234 & 235. And then I move to show the profound and surprising agreement Thomas Aquinas and Peter van Mastricht have with Basil, contra Dr. White’s point.
Merry Christmas! How do you see yourself? You could answer numerous things, but would one of the ways you see yourself be a spiritual infant? We’d like to think of ourselves as strong, independent, capable, but one of the images Scripture gives us of believers is spiritual infants, weak, dependent, and needy. How does this...
This week we replay the show from a year ago, where we talk about resolutions and goal-setting to lead into next week’s show about new year’s goals.
Merry Christmas from Restless. And prepare yourself for the 12 days of Restless Christmas.
The brothers talk about the Gospel and Christmas, and how the manger is really about the cross.
We discuss an old article from TGC by Kevin DeYoung discussing the growing division in Reformed Evangelicalism.
After a long hiatus, Scott and Gage return to discuss Jesus in the Book of Deuteronomy.
It seems some churches have limited the Holy Spirit to spiritual gifts. However, Peter tells us that the Holy Spirit is far more involved in God’s work of salvation and sanctification than simply giving spiritual gifts. He is a key agent in the work of salvation and sanctification. In this episode, we will look at...
In this episode we have Josh Sommer on the show to discuss his new book on An Orthodox Catechism.
In this episode A&A have a conversation about humility. We can’t discuss humility without either starting at Jesus or ending up at Him. He is the ultimate example of this important virtue.
Why would Jesus teach his disciples to remember their sin and need of grace and to continually ask God for forgiveness? Might it have been for their comfort? Perhaps we feel condemned when we more deeply recognize our sin and need for God’s grace. Maybe we’d rather avoid thinking about our sin than confess it....
The majority of Christians have not articulated divine simplicity and other scholastic doctrines in terms found in historical systematic theologies. But does this mean the majority of Christians have not believed it?
Are philosophy and theology opposed? Are the the same thing? What is the relationship between these two very important themes?
We listen and respond to part of the Rise and Mars Hill that explains the Young Restless and Reformed Movement. Frankly as the reigning podcast experts on the subject we were shocked we were not called. However even more shocking our friend Brad Vermurlen was not either.
In this episode I discuss several distinct points of confusion when it comes to the doctrine of God, from the identification of divine attributes to the three persons in which the divine essence exists.
Many people have a distorted view of God. Some people think He is like Santa Claus, someone who loves to hand out goodies to make people happy. Others see God as a harsh task-master, someone who loves to boss you around and take away all your fun. In this episode, I review Exodus 34:6-7 to...
Why would we ever ask God for things we already have? Praying “Give us this day our daily bread” may feel a little forced when our pantries and refrigerators are stocked with food. But this little line is important to pray. Why? Find out in today’s show.
After listening if you would like to hire Restless to do your professional branding work email us at restlesspodcasting@gmail.com or you can contact us with any of your thoughts. We do a deep dive on episode 6 of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill – The Brand. We discuss the effect of the rise...
Perhaps you have a hard time seeing how the Old Testament and the New Testament connect. However, the Old Testament and the New Testament are the same story, yet each covers parts of the story. The Old Testament is the unfolding story of God bringing His savior to defeat Satan and keep His promise. The...
Luke continues our series on the fruit of the Spirit with a study on Kindness, God’s kindness toward us, and how we are called to be kind toward others.

The brothers get back on track with the fundamentals and finally discuss the divine missions.
In this episode we start a conversation about a big topic. We often talk about Evangelicalism and have a conversation about the various ways we use that term. We think as you continue to hear these term used on our podcast and the wider world, this discussion will help you think through the various ways...
It is amazing how appealing our will can be. We want to do what we want to do, and we’re often skeptical about the goodness of God’s will. Why would Jesus teach us to pray, “Thy will be done”? There must be something inherently good about God’s will, in fact, much better than our will....
Do you ever get lost reading the Old Testament? Do you avoid reading the Old Testament because it feels like history that affects you in no meaningful way? Perhaps one reason this happens is that you don’t know the Bible story. Man sinned against God, and He initiated a plan of redemption. The Old Testament...
Much church growth material focuses on marketing strategies and practical advice about how to appeal to culture. But what about the Lord’s Prayer? Christ said he will build his church, and Christ also taught his disciples to pray for his kingdom to come. Do we know what to pray for? Our Lord wants us to...
Anthony and Amy turn the tables, and the microphones, as Amy interviews Anthony about the writing process behind his new book, “Jesus Changed Everything.”
Tony recaps an interaction on Twitter with Dr. Strachan and deep dives some of the issues with the EFS use of historical quotes.
Restless kicks off this winsome winter with by wading into two recent twitter brouhahas. There is nothing like winter with Restless. So kick back relax and rate and review this show.
The Bible can be difficult to understand. There may be several reasons for this. One reason may be that you don’t fully understand the whole story of the Bible. If you don’t know the whole story, it’s difficult to see where stories fit in the redemptive story of God. In this episode, I review the Bible...
Why are opinions contrary to the Nicene Creed or the Apostles’ Creed deemed to be heretical? Is it because the creeds are autonomous authorities in addition to Scripture? Is it because church councils bear equal weight to that of God’s own Word? In this podcast I try to wrestle with these questions in a meaningful...
Anthony and Amy introduce a new segment, give a book update, and discuss reasons to check out Church History.
The brothers, okay… mostly Tony… respond to a recent episode of the Antithesis with Owen Strachan.
Do you know what you’re praying when you pray the Lord’s Prayer? It’s a popular prayer. It should be because Jesus taught it to his disciples. What is it that you want from God when you pray to Him? Do you want what He wants for you?
This episode originally aired in our series explaining early on explain the Young, Restless and Reformed. We explain what definition of Reformed we learned at that time and what we think about it is now.
The Bible can be difficult to understand. There may be several reasons for this. One reason may be that you don’t fully understand the whole story of the Bible. If you don’t know the whole story, it’s difficult to see where stories fit in the redemptive story of God. In this episode, I discuss the...
Another discussion is currently rising out from under the already tumultuous waters of current discussion concerning what heresy is. The term “heresy” has been employed to describe ESS and other errors having to do with the doctrine of God. But the use of that term is being contested. This shows there is disagreement as regards...
In a recent podcast, Dr. Owen Strachan unloaded a volley of texts in favor of eternal subordination of the Son (to the Father). Using John 3:16 as an example, I want to show Strachan’s use of it subtly identifies God with God’s works.
Luke continues our series on the fruit of the Spirit with a study on Patience, God’s patience toward us, and how we are called to be patient toward others.
In this episode Anthony and Amy share a few passages from God’s Word that have been helpful to them recently.
This is a discussion of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill that contains fairly explicit and blunt language about sex. You may not want to listen if you are with your children or are sensitive to these topics. This is section we deleted from our episode “Mark Driscoll and Women”. This section we discuss...
In this episode, Sean and I discuss exclusive psalmody and whether or not it is biblical.
How we think about God influences our prayer life. In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6, Jesus taught his disciples how to pray. We can learn a lot of substantial theology from the Lord’s Prayer. How does Jesus want us to think about God?
Restless goes back to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill for the episode most of you have been waiting for us to do: The Things We Do to Women. An episode sure to cause us trouble. I guess that is why we will release a second part. Here is Matt’s thesis for this episode. The...
The Bible can be difficult to understand. There may be several reasons for this. One reason may be that you don’t fully understand the whole story of the Bible. If you don’t know the whole story, it’s difficult to see where stories fit in the redemptive story of God. In this episode, I begin a...
What drives us to prayer? Isn’t it the awareness of our great need? When we are aware of our physical and spiritual needs, we go to God in prayer for help. However, sometimes, we don’t pray with much confidence. Our heavenly Father welcomes us to bring our needs to Him, and He wants us to...
It is very easy to grow discouraged that we are not making more progress in our fight against sin. However, we are making progress. Even baby steps are progress that pleases and honor our Father. Though our pace of sanctification is often slower than we’d like, we must remember that God’s grace is still working...
The brothers cover the basics of Trinitarian theology, which is still enough to make your head spin.
Traditionalism is today’s fad. It should be subjected to careful scrutiny. A final analysis will reveal that traditionalism is nothing but the same zeal without knowledge with which Paul charges the Jews in Romans 10.
Restless has a youtube channel where they most the podcast. Over time they have collected a number of comments. They have note kept up with responding them. So they respond live. Good times ensue.
Restless has been Podcasting for One Year. We celebrate the first year and 50,000 downloads of the post mortem on New Calvinism. Have a Happy Reformation Day and we are glad you are here.
The Protestant Reformation is one the most important events in church history. The Reformers brought the Gospel back where it needed to be and proclaimed that salvation was by grace through faith alone in Christ alone according to Scripture alone all to the glory of God alone! But does this event effect Latinos in churches...
Anthony and Amy discuss reasons we can always hope in the Lord and His promises to carry us through our trials. Anthony gives a book update.
Christians are often accused of being anti-science – especially regarding evolution and the age of the earth. But how valid are these accusations? In this episode, Conrad and Jesse become 1970’s detectives to find out.

Last week Mark Dever and Ligon Duncan announced the ending of Together for the Gospel. This had been one of the largest evangelical conferences was the unofficial conference of New Calvinism. So this week Restless gives T4G its own eulogy. We discuss the successes and failures of T4G, celebrity, and the gospel centeredness.
Anthony presents a short devotional thought out of Jeremiah 42 about waiting on God to answer prayer and shares an exciting announcement.
The brothers discuss the moral attributes of God, specifically holiness, righteousness, and goodness.
Christians are greatly challenged to speak the truth amidst a culture that hates the truth. As people who have received the mercy and grace of God, how do we now express our gratitude in our speech? How can we dialogue with people who think very differently than we do, in fact, in many ways despise...
From James White to Jeff Johnson, the assertion that each Person of the Trinity possess their own distinct self-consciousness, or self-awareness, is being taken for granted. We should deny this with all vehemence.
There is a very qualified way in which theologians have used the term “motion” in relation to God we should all be aware of.
There are some theological assumptions we must make and readily accept in the biblical interpretational enterprise, e.g. a doctrine of God.
Hopefully, I can make some clarifications here and help my interlocutors understand where the classical theists are coming from.
Is it ok for a pastor to have an anonymous social media account? That’s the question today. If the podcast doesn’t sound quite as good as usual you can blame it on Matt deciding to spend time with his new baby rather than edit this one. Some people…
Luke continues the study of the fruit of the Spirit with Peace, what Scripture says about it, and how it is found in Christ.
Gage and Scott revisit the topic of addressing politics in the pulpit. They offer clarifying and thoughts and answer a listener’s concerns.
Send us our submissions for Yea, Nea, or Nuance today. And send us some love as we get ready to celebrate One Full Year of Restless.
Watch what happens around the world, and you get the feeling that we’re involved in a cosmic battle between God and Satan. Often times it seems the devil makes progress against God. However, appearances can be misleading. Things may not be as they seem. In this episode, I explore the cosmic battle between God and...
The brothers discuss the attributes of omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience and why these are such a great comfort to Christians.
Anthony and Amy discuss what God’s been showing Anthony in his life about the command to rest and the invitation to enjoy this life God gives.
You’ve probably never pointed a gun at someone and demanded, “Give me all your money!” Even so, you rank with the worst of thieves. But do you believe that? Do you understand the Eighth Commandment? Are you aware of the various ways you break it? We need the gospel, and this glorious transforms thieves into...
The Heidelberg Catechism can help us understand our sinful inclinations. Though God’s law exposes our sin, it also pushes us to Christ for comfort and rest. When we realize how deeply sin goes into us, we run to Christ, we receive Christ by true faith, and Christ helps us in our deepest struggles. There is...
Today on the pod, Hunter and Reid the intern talk with Ken Kunkel about church planting in the ARP and lots of practice advice for church planters.
This stuffed show has the most guests we have ever had on from a seminary student to brief appearance by a Restless wife. We dive into Episode 4 of the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. We dive deep on the subject that made Mark Driscoll so popular and so controversial: masculinity. There is a...
Andrew and Caleb take up the Mosaic Covenant. Why is this a covenant of grace? What is the role of the law in this covenant? What about the republication thesis – is the covenant in some sense a covenant of works? How does redemption occur under this covenant? What role do merit and reward play?
We’re back! After a crazy summer with full time jobs and Blake getting married, we’ve finally settled back into a groove and we’re releasing episodes recorded in the mini “hiatus.” Also this episode marks TWO YEARS of Distilling Theology! A warm “Thank you” to everyone who has listened, joined our discussion group, left us a...
Lately, it has been the fad to out Thomism as another step toward Romanism. But such a fad is leading many not to differ with Thomas so much as it’s leading them to deny Augustinian theology proper, which has always been understood to be nothing short of apostolic doctrine.
Do you believe in miracles? Many people don’t. However, the Bible has recorded many miracles. Moreover, though the Bible describes many miracles, we don’t see miracles happen today. But that doesn’t mean they don’t happen. In fact, there’s a miracle that happens every day. We just can’t see it with our own eyes. In this...
This week, Anthony and Amy share spiritual principles learned from a recent afternoon throwing clay on a potter’s wheel.
Why must we maintain strong theology proper in terms of immutability and simplicity? Because the rejection of it is also the rejection of all objective meaning.
Fred Sanders (PhD, Graduate Theological Union) is a systematic theologian who studies and teaches across the entire range of classic Christian doctrine, but with a primary focus on the doctrine of the Trinity. Fred has taught in Torrey Honors College since 1999, and is an amateur historian of Biola’s institutional history. He is co-founder of...
The brothers continue their ongoing fundamentals series by discussing Classical Christian Theism, also known as Christian Theism.
Jettisoning truth because of its association with a person is a fatal mistake for any theologian to make, as is hopefully made obvious here.
We react to this clip about if Calvinism is biblical. The answer did not surprise us but we hope this reaction and our various announcements will delight you. BTWs Calvinism is biblical just so we are clear.
Why does it seem like the doctrine of God is being relegated to a secondary or even tertiary issue?
This one is all about baptism. Caleb and Andrew tackle the connection between the covenant sign given to Abraham in Genesis 17 and baptism as explained in other biblical texts and explain why this supports infant baptism.
Luke continues the fruit of the Spirit series with the fruit of joy. We were made to glorify God and enjoy Him forever!
This week, Anthony and Amy bring listeners along into an encouraging and sometimes hilarious episode, talking about the Christian’s hope of Heaven.
The first episode of the rest of the Reformed Brotherhood. The brothers kick off an ongoing study in the fundamentals of Christian theology, starting with what it means to talk about God at all.
In the political climate of today, many Christians are struggling with their thoughts, words, and actions toward politicians. It’s a polarizing time. Perhaps it would help us to consider that inside our hearts the trigger is easily pulled. We need to turn to Christ to help us repent of anger, hatred, bitterness, and antagonism and...
We review episode three of The Rise of and Fall of Mars Hill. We like our title better. We are joined by Andrew Smyth of the Bavcast in our work of working through Driscoll, the emergent church, and what CT wants us to think about all this.
This is an off the cuff episode on location at the 2021 Keach Conference in Gloucester, VA. This audio is from a video we did on the Keach Conference.
Andrew and Caleb repeatedly confuse Abraham/Abram and Sarah/Sarai. They also continue their discussion of the Covenant of Grace, looking at the promise to Abraham. How does this relate to what came before in the garden and with Noah? What do the key passages in Genesis 12, 15, and 17 teach us about this covenant?
William Lane Craig’s article on the historical Adam is set to make a splash, even before his book on the matter publishes. While he affirms a historical Adam, he gets there through the natural sciences rather than the text of Holy Writ—choosing instead to mythologize most of Genesis 1-11.
As Christians we have a limitless bank of joy to draw from. This week, Anthony and Amy sit down to discuss the source of the Christian’s joy.
A hot topic in our society and culture today is how to relate to authority, especially the overreach of authority. It seems as if Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 are now texts that Christians fight over. How should Christians respond to lawful and unlawful authority? This episode will not explore the different angles on...
The brothers talk about faith, what it is, what it isn’t, and why the Gospel is so beautiful.
The Restless Podcast takes times to show its work and discuss the Regulative Principle and its alternatives. If you are newer to Reformed Theology this is an important episode for you. If you have been around a while you will probably enjoy the regulative principle compared to its alternatives. Because the question is not if...
Dane Ortlund joins the pod today to discuss his book Gentle and Lowly and his career move from being a member of a church to its pastor.
Caleb and Andrew discuss the unfolding of the Covenant of Grace after Genesis 3. What do we see in the two lines of Adam’s descendants? What in the world is going on in Genesis 6:1-4? Why is the earth destroyed in flood, and Noah and his family spared?
God gave Abraham a strange command. In Genesis 17 God made a covenant with Abraham and commanded him and his male offspring to be circumcised. Why would God command Abraham to do this? Circumcision seems to cruel. However, God would never command anyone to do something that doesn’t have a purpose or meaning. In this...
Luke interviews Michael Bowman, pastor of Christ Covenant Church PCA and cohost of the Restless Podcast. Michael joins today to discuss his new book of devotions on the forgiveness of God toward us and our forgiveness toward others.
How do you think through the day? More specifically, how do you think about your Christian faith throughout the day? The structure of the Heidelberg Catechism (HC) can help you think more strategically. The structure of the HC could change your life because it can give you three simple words, concepts, categories that direct your...
We head into the weeds of nuance of how different churches and pastors applied the command to meet together for worship over the last year. We discuss differing pastoral responses to limitations on meeting and learn some wisdom from Matt’s mom about the attitude we should have about going to church.
Why should I read the New Testament? Join Anthony and Amy Russo in Part 2 of this two-part mini-series answering that important question.
Lots has been said about what the historically Reformed believed concerning man’s reason and its use of natural theology. Hear from Francis Turretin how the Reformed of his day viewed natural theology and its relationship to supernatural theology. Also, Turretin gives (5) present uses for natural theology in this life.
Scott and Gage discuss whether churches should wade into political positions.Vaccines, healthcare, foreign policy, taxes, and more!
The Restless Podcast taps in for TGC and Jonathan Leeman to put forth the scriptural case for why there’s no such thing as virtual church. Recent posted an article by Jonathan Leeman with the same title. Restless discusses the merits of the article, the biblical case for ‘in person’ church, and why they are publishing...
Where does the Covenant of Grace begin? What is its relationship to the Covenant of Works? What role does the law have in the Covenant of Grace? What is the goal of the Covenant of Grace?
Our tendency is to think we have to obey God in order to be righteous. However, this is impossible. We sinned in Adam and are guilty of violating the holy law of God. Therefore, we are unrighteous. So what hope do we have? In this episode, I help you see the only way to be declared...
Why should I read the New Testament? Join Anthony and Amy Russo in Part 1 of a two-part mini-series answering that important question.
The brothers tackle another listener question related to how we should think of the Lord’s temporal kindness to those who will never be saved.
I love being the pastor of Jerusalem Church in the small town of Manheim, PA. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. My desire is that this podcast serves my local church well. I also want to reach outside the bounds of my church. In my experience, many local churches and the Christians in them...
We are joined by Peter Bell of the Guilt, Grace, Gratitude Podcast to react to Episode Two of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill “Boomers, The Big Sort, And Really, Really Big Churches“. Peter brings his perspective as previous member and employee of Mars Hill.
There are many views on how to be saved. Some believe you have to do good things in order earn salvation. Others believe you have to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. However, there’s really only one way to be saved, and that is by union with Christ, which occurs through faith. When one comes...
The Definitive reaction to the one of the most infamous Mark Driscoll Clips. Restless tells you really what is wrong with Driscoll telling a church planting conference that there is a pile of dead bodies behind the Mars Hill Bus.
Luke recaps the Fruit of the Spirit series so far, focusing on the passage from Galatians 5, the fruit of the flesh, the third use of the law, and the fruit of Love.
While it’s tempting to skip it, this week Anthony and Amy discuss reasons for—and blessings of—regularly reading through the Old Testament.
Charles Spurgeon was an eloquent man. God used him in mighty ways to contend for the truth of God’s Word. In this episode is a Spurgeon quote worth careful consideration, especially for our times. God’s infallible Word brings clarity and joy to those who believe and submit themselves to it. If you listen on APPLE...
In this first installment of a two-part special, I will look at natural theology as it appears in confessional Reformed orthodoxy. In the next part, I will look at the natural theology of Particular Baptist confessional orthodoxy.
In this last part of my two-part mini series on natural theology, I will look at natural theology as it appears in the Savoy Declaration, the 2nd London Baptist Confession & Keach’s Catechism.
Dr. Owen Strachan has shot more than one canon ball over the bow of those who have departed from theistic personalism and presuppositionalism. These shots over the bow have been quite embarrassing from a scholarly perspective, to say the least. In this video, I will once more labor to demonstrate the natural theology of the...
This week we interview our guest from last week on the acclaimed episode “We Know Who Killed Mars Hill” Matt. As college friend of the host we learn his path to Reformed Theology and some of the common struggles related to it.
Luke returns from summer break to give short recap of who he is and what the show is all about, plus an review of recent series and a sneak peak toward the future!
The new birth is obviously redemptively significant, but it is also thematically significant tying, as it were, all of Scripture together. How can we begin to think of the new birth along these lines?
Has anyone ever asked you, “Have you been born again?” or “Are you a born again Christian?” “Born again” is a term widely used in Christian circles. But what does it mean to be born again? In this episode, I discuss what this means by looking at Jesus’ interaction with Nicodemus. By the way, another...
Scott and Gage talk with Dr. Zeb Ballentine about his new book: Worship Vitals. Listen as they discuss how worship in the Old Testament pointed forward to Christ.
