The Chorus in the Chaos: Recent Episodes
The Chorus in the Chaos
Living a Christian life that is faithful to God’s Word can be extremely challenging. Join Grayson, Blake, and Jack as they discuss how to be theologically and biblically relevant in today’s culture. If you (like us) need help navigating through the chaotic noise of our modern age, we invite you to listen in.
Each season will focus on a specific theme/topic with episodes released bi-weekly.
In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack walks through John 6:44 and considers what Jesus teaches about human depravity, our inability to come to Christ apart from grace, God’s sovereign work in salvation, assurance, and the perseverance of the saints.
What does it mean for the Father to “draw” someone to Christ? How can a Christian know that he or she has been drawn? And if salvation ultimately begins with God rather than us, what does that mean for our assurance?

What does Mormonism teach about grace, works, salvation, and the afterlife?
In the final theological installment of our series on Mormonism, Jack examines the LDS plan of salvation and its emphasis on faithfulness, ordinances, covenants, temple rites, and enduring to the end. He contrasts this system with the biblical doctrine that sinners are justified entirely by the finished work of Jesus Christ.
The episode then walks through the Mormon understanding of eternity, including:
• Premortal existence and mortal life
• Spirit paradise and spirit prison
• Preaching and repentance after death
• The celestial, terrestrial, and telestial kingdoms
• The three levels of the celestial kingdom
• Eternal marriage and exaltation
• Outer darkness and the sons of perdition
• The question of assurance within Mormonism
Although Mormonism frequently uses Christian terminology, it assigns very different meanings to words such as God, Jesus, grace, salvation, heaven, and eternal life. Jack explains why these differences are not secondary disagreements, but matters that strike at the heart of the gospel itself.

Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”
In this episode, Jack considers one of the most familiar and comforting phrases in Scripture: “the valley of the shadow of death.” Life can move quickly from green pastures to dark valleys, but Psalm 23 reminds us that the believer is never abandoned there.
The Good Shepherd is with His sheep. He guides, protects, corrects, comforts, and leads them safely through. Through personal reflection, the story of R.F. Gates, and the remarkable survival story of Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance, this episode points us to the comfort of Christ’s presence in suffering and the hope of His victory over death.
Because Jesus laid down His life for the sheep and rose again, death has lost its sting. For the Christian, death may cast a shadow, but it cannot destroy.
Scripture referenced: Psalm 23:4, John 10, Mark 4:35–41, Hebrews 12:6–11, 1 Corinthians 15

This conversation explores the LDS view of the Fall, sin, atonement, grace, works, assurance, and eternal progression. Mormonism often uses Christian language, but the meanings behind those words are radically different from historic biblical Christianity.
Jack and Grayson compare Mormonism’s teaching on Adam and Eve, original sin, ordinances, temple rites, baptism for the dead, and exaltation with the biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
At the heart of the episode is a major contrast: Mormonism points man toward self-exaltation, while biblical Christianity points sinners to the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Topics include:
- The Mormon view of the Fall
- Original sin and human guilt in Adam
- LDS theology of atonement and Gethsemane
- Grace, works, and assurance
- Baptism for the dead
- Eternal progression and exaltation
- Why Christ’s finished work is the only true hope

In this bonus episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Blake is joined by his wife, Jackie, for a personal and practical conversation about their first year of homeschooling.
Blake and Jackie share why homeschooling was never originally their plan, how rising tuition costs forced them to reconsider their options, and why their deeper motivation became much bigger than finances. They talk honestly about the fears they had going in, including feeling unqualified, worrying about time, managing little kids during school, and the ever-present question of socialization.
They also explain why they landed on the Charlotte Mason approach, what drew them to living books, nature study, narration, habit formation, short lessons, and family-style learning. Along the way, they reflect on how homeschooling has shaped their family culture, strengthened sibling relationships, created more outdoor time, and helped them know their children more deeply.
This episode is not presented as a one-size-fits-all formula, but as an encouragement for parents who are considering home education and wondering whether they can really do it.

Does Matthew 16 prove the papacy? In this short bonus episode, Jack examines Rome’s claim that the Pope, as successor of Peter, possesses supreme authority over the universal Church. Looking at Matthew 16 and the Book of Acts, Jack argues that Peter is important and influential — but that Scripture does not present him as supreme over the other apostles.

In this episode, we begin examining Mormon theology and explain why Mormonism is not Christianity in any historic, biblical sense. Using the language of theology, apologetics, and Scripture, we walk through key LDS beliefs about God, Jesus, salvation, exaltation, and pre-mortal existence, showing how Mormonism uses familiar Christian terms but means something entirely different by them.
This conversation is part of our ongoing series on cults, and it gets to the heart of the issue: not just Mormon history, but Mormon doctrine. If you have ever asked whether Mormons are Christians, or how LDS teaching compares to biblical Christianity, this episode will help clarify the differences.

In this episode, Jack sits down with Pastor Braden Patterson to hear his powerful testimony of growing up in Mormonism, coming to faith in Jesus Christ, and now serving as a pastor in biblical Christianity.
Braden shares what life was like in a deeply committed LDS home, how he viewed Christians while growing up, and how Mormon theology shaped his understanding of God, salvation, and purpose. He also explains the crushing burden of works-based religion and the peace he found in the finished work of Christ.
The conversation walks through the turning point that began his departure from Mormonism, the role Scripture played in exposing error, and the dramatic moment when he could no longer deny that Jesus is Lord and God. Braden also gives thoughtful, practical advice for Christians who want to engage Mormons faithfully, biblically, and lovingly.

This is a helpful and sobering conversation about false religion, true conversion, the necessity of sound doctrine, and the beauty of the gospel of grace.
In this episode of Chorus in the Chaos, Jack, Grayson, and Blake begin their two-part look at Mormonism by tracing its history from the life of Joseph Smith to the early growth of the movement. They walk through Smith’s claimed visions, the story of the golden plates, the role of seer stones, the lost 116 pages, the Book of Mormon’s publication, and the conflicts that followed in Missouri and Nauvoo.
This episode is focused on the historical narrative and major events that shaped Mormonism’s beginnings. In the next episode, the guys will shift to the theology of Mormonism and compare its teachings with biblical Christianity.

What does it mean to receive the Kingdom of God like a child?
In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack walks through Luke 18:15–17, where Jesus rebukes His disciples and welcomes infants and children, declaring that “to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Far from being a sentimental moment, this passage reveals something profound about humility, faith, and how salvation works.
This episode also asks a hard but necessary question:
How might we—parents, churches, and Christians—be hindering children from coming to Jesus today?
Along the way, we examine:
- Why Jesus prioritizes children and rebukes His own disciples
- How pride and self-reliance block the gospel
- Why children are a “canary in the coal mine” for cultural health
- Five practical ways adults can hinder (or help) children come to Christ
- Why salvation is received, not achieved
- What it really means to trust God like a child
Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or simply wrestling with faith and trust, this episode calls us to lay down pride, abandon self-confidence, and receive the gospel with humility, joy, and faith.
Key Scripture References:
- Luke 18:15–17
- Luke 18:9–14 (Pharisee and Tax Collector)
- Luke 18:18–23 (Rich Young Ruler)

Why does spiritism hold such a powerful grip on people — especially during times of grief, fear, and uncertainty?
In this episode, Blake and Grayson continue their American Cults series by examining the appeal of Spiritism, why Scripture consistently forbids it, and how it distorts good, God-given desires for eternity, comfort, and knowledge.
Through biblical teaching and pastoral reflection, they explore:
- Why humanity longs for life beyond death
- The dangers of seeking revelation without repentance
- Saul and the Witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28)
- How spiritism traps the grieving rather than healing them
- Why Christ alone defeats death and removes its fear
Spiritism offers promises it can never keep. The Gospel offers resurrection, peace, and hope that does not fade.

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack and Blake dive into one of America’s most unusual and influential cult movements: the rise of spiritualism in the 19th century. Beginning with a biblical narrative—the chilling account of Saul and the Witch of Endor—the episode moves through the dramatic story of the Fox Sisters, the national craze for seances, and the cultural wounds left open by the Civil War.
You’ll discover how spiritualism promised comfort in a time of uncertainty, why it grew so quickly, and even how magician Harry Houdini became its most vocal opponent. Blending historical storytelling, cultural analysis, and theological clarity, this episode shines a light on a movement that still shapes modern (evil) ideas about mediums, ghosts, and “communicating with the dead.”

In Part 2 of our Thanksgiving bonus series, Blake and Jack pick up the story with the Pilgrims themselves—the Separatist congregation from Scrooby who fled England, suffered betrayals, survived storms, endured heartbreak, and ultimately crossed the Atlantic in one of history’s most remarkable journeys of faith.
In this episode, we trace their escape attempts from England, their difficult 11-year stay in Leiden, the economic and cultural pressures they faced, and the providential chain of events that drove them to sail for the New World, from the disastrous Speedwell, to the treacherous Mayflower crossing, to the first contacts with the Wampanoag, Squanto’s astonishing backstory, the devastating first winter, and finally the feast that would one day inspire Thanksgiving....including a totally true and not dramatized version of how Turkey got involved.
If you want to understand Thanksgiving—not the simplified version you learned in elementary school, but the providential and theologically rich version—this episode is for you.

In this special two-part Thanksgiving bonus episode, Blake and Jack take listeners on a fast-moving, 30,000-foot flyover of the wild, chaotic, and faith-shaping events that led to the Pilgrims boarding the Mayflower and eventually celebrating what we call the First Thanksgiving.
Before the Mayflower ever touched the shores of the New World, England endured a century of political turmoil, religious reform, royal power struggles, public executions, and theological awakening. From Henry VIII’s messy pursuit of an annulment, to Edward VI’s Protestant reforms, to the brutal burnings under Bloody Mary, to Elizabeth’s uneasy religious compromise, and finally to King James and his push for conformity—this episode explores the real forces that shaped the Puritans and the Separatists, and ultimately birthed the Pilgrim story.
This episode aims to help you see Thanksgiving with fresh eyes and a deeper appreciation for the believers who risked everything to pursue biblical worship.

Summary
Season 4 launches with a field guide to American cults: where they came from, how they function, and what sets them apart from orthodox Christianity. We lay out our two-episode rhythm for each movement (history + doctrine) and explain why this isn’t just academic—these are the folks knocking on your door and sitting in your break room.
Highlights
- Walter Martin’s working definition of a cult
- The 1830–1890 surge in the Northeast and the “Burned-Over District”
- First vs. Second Great Awakening—and how Finney’s “new measures” influenced later errors
- Doctrinal markers: denial of the Trinity, diminished view of Christ, extra-biblical revelation
- Sociological markers: authoritarian leadership, information control, us-vs-them identity, behavioral rules, shunning, apocalyptic urgency
- Works/loyalty systems vs. the gospel of grace
- The real cost of leaving—and how Christians can care well

In this short (almost 15-minute) biography episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack looks at the remarkable life of The Lion of Princeton, Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851–1921)—one of the great theologians of old Princeton and a towering figure in Reformed thought.
In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack reflects on moments in life that divide time—events after which nothing is ever the same. From personal memories of 9/11 to the pivotal scene in Acts 10–11 where the gospel is extended to the Gentiles, we explore how God often works in ways we don’t expect.
Through Peter’s vision, the criticism from the “circumcision party,” and the church’s ultimate celebration of grace, we see how the gospel tears down walls of division and fulfills God’s promises from Genesis to Revelation.
Key Takeaways:* Life-changing moments: both in history and in Scripture, God uses unexpected events to reshape our perspective. * Peter’s example: in humility and patience, he trusted God’s work rather than fighting for his own reputation. * Two responses to God’s grace: criticism and resistance (like Jonah and the circumcision party) or joyful celebration of mercy. * The gospel reconciles: Jews and Gentiles, enemies and friends, all made one in Christ. * Practical encouragement: When God works in ways we don’t understand, we’re called to stay calm, stay humble, and trust Him.
Jack also offers a heartfelt gospel invitation: if you’ve never placed your trust in Christ, now is the time to turn from sin and find peace with God.
📖 Scripture focus: Acts 11:1–18
✝️ Supporting texts: Genesis 18, Ephesians 2, Revelation 7
In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack sits down with Greg De Blieck, hymn writer and leader of New Scottish Hymns, to explore the deep connection between music, theology, and worship.
Greg shares his story of growing up in Scotland, his love for hymnody, and his passion for writing songs that communicate biblical truth with clarity and beauty. Together, Jack and Greg discuss:
- The power of music to shape culture, community, and faith
- The role of hymns in encouraging believers beyond Sunday worship
- Theological foundations for music as communication and communion
- The Reformers’ cautious yet profound view of music in the church
- Practical wisdom for pastors, elders, and worship leaders choosing songs for corporate worship
- The dangers of Christian celebrity culture and why the local church must remain central
From folk influences in Scottish hymnody to reflections on Tolkien, Lewis, and Isaac Watts, this episode offers a rich and thoughtful conversation about why music matters—and how it can point us more fully to Christ.

In this special episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack, Grayson, and Blake reflect on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it means for Kirk's legacy and Christians today.
We discuss:
- Charlie Kirk’s life, faith, and legacy as the founder of Turning Point
- Why his murder feels like a pivotal cultural and spiritual moment.
- The clash of worldviews is revealed in the nation’s response.
- How Kirk’s bold witness to the gospel challenges us to live faithfully.
- What Christians should do now—locally, politically, and spiritually.
This is more than politics. It’s about worldview, courage, and the cost of discipleship. Listen in for biblical reflection, cultural analysis, and a call to bold gospel proclamation in a time of growing hostility.

In our Season 3 finale, we tackle the 10th Commandment—coveting—why Scripture treats it as a heart-level idol factory and the “mother sin” that births so many others. We trace coveting from desire to destruction (think: Gollum), show how it undermines love for God and neighbor, and conclude with practical, Gospel-rooted disciplines for cultivating contentment.

In this special episode, Grayson Gilbert reflects on the life and legacy of John MacArthur, who passed away recently. He shares personal anecdotes about MacArthur's influence on his own faith journey, highlighting the importance of faithful teaching and the impact of spiritual mentors. Grayson emphasizes the need for enduring faith and the role of ordinary individuals in God's work, ultimately pointing to the hope found in Christ and the legacy of faithful servants in the church.

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Blake and Jack tackle the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” But as they quickly uncover, this commandment isn’t just about lying—it’s about gossip, slander, exaggeration, and the thousand subtle ways we undermine truth in daily life.
Jack opens with a vivid personal illustration of a leaky ceiling and how unchecked deception functions like a drip—slowly saturating and eventually destroying. The conversation moves through scripture, theology (featuring insights from Kevin DeYoung and Thomas Watson), and practical application with the Heidelberg Catechism guiding the way.

In this unscripted “After Hours” roundtable, The Chorus in the Chaos crew dives into two very different—but oddly connected—topics: nicotine addiction and artificial intelligence. What starts with a satirical review of a dramatic Christianity Today article about ZYN pouches spirals into serious (and hilarious) discussions on mastery, sanctification, the creeping perils of AI, and the church's responsibility
What do a jaded weatherman and a bloodthirsty Pharisee have in common? In this episode, Jack explores the radically different—but equally transforming—power of grace in the lives of Phil Connors (Groundhog Day) and the apostle Paul. Using Paul’s conversion in Acts 9 as a springboard, this solo episode highlights the stunning reality of salvation by sovereign grace. Jack walks through the biblical text, reflects on Paul’s post-conversion transformation, shares the gripping story of a Japanese death row inmate turned Christian, and reminds listeners: no one is too far gone. If you’ve ever doubted the power of the gospel to change a life—this episode is for you.

Calvin's influence extended far beyond his lifetime, shaping Protestant theology and the reformed tradition. Despite facing opposition and challenges, Calvin remained dedicated to his mission of reforming the church and guiding his congregation as a compassionate pastor.

Jack encourages those suffering in this bonus episode of the Chorus in the Chaos podcast by exploring Psalm 88. He highlights how the Book of Psalms captures human emotions and experiences, including suffering and hardship. Psalm 88, in particular, is a dark psalm of individual lament written by Heman, a worship leader in ancient Israel.
Jack extracts three key takeaways from Psalm 88 about what it teaches us about suffering: turn to scripture, turn to prayer, and turn to Christ. He emphasizes that while darkness may be present in our lives, the final word for Christians is the finished work of Christ and the hope of resurrection.
In our final episode of Season 2, Grayson and Jack discuss the common struggle of anxiety and worry. They explore the root causes of anxiety, which stem from the fallen nature of humanity and the sinful desire for self-preservation. They emphasize the importance of trusting in God's providence and seeking His kingdom first. The hosts also highlight the distinction between concern and fretting, noting that while it is natural to be concerned about certain aspects of life, it is sinful to allow anxiety to consume us. They explore various biblical examples of anxiety and how individuals in the Bible dealt with their fears. They emphasize the importance of trusting in God's providence and seeking Him in times of anxiety. The conversation concludes with practical steps to combat anxiety, including repentance, casting our fears on the Lord, and preaching God's promises to ourselves.

Jack, Blake, and Grayson discuss the common Christian struggle of fearing man over fearing God. When we fear man over God, we act in unbelief. This can occur in the fear of physical harm, career concerns, loss of possessions, etc. As Christians, we must aim to learn that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and the lens through which we see the world and its challenges.

In the final episode of this 4-part mini-series on Infant Baptism, Jack walks through several texts in the New Testament that evidence a Presbyterian, covenantal reading of the bible. Specifically, he focuses on texts that argue for the inclusion of children into the covenant community.

In part 3 of this mini-series on infant baptism, Jack continues to build the case for infant baptism by highlighting how the continuity of covenants (old and new) gives us grounds to interpret the doctrine and practice of baptism through the covenantal sign of circumcision.

In part 2 of this mini-series on infant baptism, Jack contrasts the two general frameworks by which Christians interpret scripture (covenantal and dispensational). In doing so, he lays the foundation for a covenantal reading of the bible and the understructure for the doctrine and practice of infant baptism.

As we briefly intermit in our season 2 theme, Common Struggles of the Christian Life, Jack begins a 4-part series on the doctrine and practice of Infant Baptism. In this episode, he explains why so many American Evangelicals misunderstand why some protestants baptize their infants.
Don't worry, baptists! Blake and Grayson will be back soon with a complementary episode(s) defending the believer's only Baptism model.

In this episode, Blake, Jack, and Grayson look to God's Word for the portrait of biblical womanhood. We aim to define what a biblical woman is, what she does, what she doesn't do, and ultimately who her hope and faith are in (spoiler alert: it's Jesus). It may seem odd to some that 3 middle-aged men are tackling this subject, however, we know that God's Word is clear and stands on its own authority.

In this episode of the TCITC Podcast, Blake and Jack discuss the topic of biblical masculinity. What does it look like? How do we define it? How do we live it out? What examples do we have? In a culture where masculinity is often seen as toxic and bad, it's essential for Christians to understand what type of masculinity is sound, true, and biblical. Also, Jack references the movie "A Quiet Place" one too many times.

In this much-anticipated episode of the TCITC Podcast, Jack, Blake, and Grayson are joined by Professor Nancy Pearcey to discuss her new book, The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconicles the Sexes. Prof. Pearcey explains where the concept of Toxic Masculinity comes from and how it developed historically, and then uses some compelling data to make the case that Christians have a biblically based, empirically supported, healthy alternative. This is an episode you will not want to miss. Her new book will be out on June 27th. Pre-order it using the link above.
Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is a professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

As we approach the midpoint of season 2, this time we tackle the common struggle of contentment. Jack, Grayson, and Blake offer some insight into the struggle, the seriousness of the sin, and how one can learn to be content in the Lord's provision. Jeremiah Burroughs called it a "Rare Jewel"; we call it a "Super Power". Whatever you want to call it, know that it stems from a heart that has been changed by Christ.

After a few episodes of being split up, due to illness, Grayson, Blake, and Jack are back! This time, we tackle the topic/sin of greed. Despite being somewhat culturally acceptable, it is a very deadly sin. We discuss the sin itself, provide some questions for self-evaluation, and provide tips on overcoming this common struggle of the Christian Life. If there is some awkward timing and pauses, we apologize.; we had some intermittent internet issues. It does get much better as the episode goes on :)

Despite the widespread love of the TV Series in many Christian communities, TCITC is in agreement that we will never watch it. We have 3 reasons why that we present for your prayer and consideration. Also, Jack demonstrates he has no idea how to use sound bites.

Using Piper's recent book, "Belong: Loving Your Church by Reflecting Christ to One Another", we discuss why it can be so hard to find a biblical-minded community, and how one can work to create it in their own church.

As we wrap our discussion on church discipline, we focus this episode on the actual biblical model/process and the important (often overlooked) role church members are to play. Although formal church discipline is commissioned and carried by the church elders/pastors, members in good standing of that local community have a part as well. Also, Jack badly mispronounces a biblical name.
