Special attention will be given to English & North American church history (from the Reformation through the Evangelical Revival), Caribbean spirituality, Baptist ecclesiology, and prayer.

Hello everyone! In this episode, we introduce some of the figures, works, and realities of early Evangelicalism’s relationship to slavery in the British Empire. While we must accept the hard truth that many theological heroes of Evangelicalism supported the evil of slavery, we must also complicate that picture: (1) while worthy of condemnation, we must understand the nuance of Evangelical support for slavery, (2) we must recognize that opposition to slavery in the British Empire largely came from Evangelicals informed by biblical convictions, and (3) we ought to appreciate the diverse, interdenominational Evangelical alliance that fought against the wickedness of slavery. This is a big topic, let me know what you think!

In today’s episode, I bring you into some of my coursework by presenting a Charles Wesley hymn on the Lord’s Supper! In this hymn, O the Depth of Love Divine, we see Wesley speak about the Lord’s Supper in a traditional Reformed manner. In contrast to both memorialism and physical presence, this hymn reflects the classic spiritual presence view of Christ and the Lord’s Supper. This is some pretty heavy theology for a hymn review, so please check out the resources below and let me know what you think!

In this episode, I unpack my church's statement of faith paragraph on "the local church.' While much of the content is similar to what we discussed in Cotton, I believe this will give you a decent idea of how many Baptists in the present-day approach and discuss issues of church leadership and governance. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know!

In this episode, I am once again joined by my friend Marek! Marek recently took part in a debate on limited atonement and I thought he would be well equipped to discuss this doctrine with us. In this interview, Marek presents the biblical foundation for limited atonement, its historical precedent, and how it relates to pastoral and evangelistic questions. This is heavy stuff! Please check out the resources below and make sure to reach out with any questions that may come to mind!

Today's episode is the first of four in a series on Congregationalism! To begin this series I give a brief introduction to the term "congregationalism" and then move on to present the life of John Cotton. Cotton was one of the leading defenders of congregationalism in the Puritan era and knowing a bit about his life and ministry will help us appreciate his major work on Congregational polity: "The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven." Let me know what you think and if you have any questions I can answer for this series concluding Q&A episode!
