Perry is joined once again by Jeremy Loseth, to continue their discussion on the Apostles' Creed, specifically the final paragraph, "I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

What does it mean to live in a story? How do we partake in God's story? How do we know we are in fact part of God's story?

This week on the program, Drew and Perry continue discussing the book "You Are What You Love," by James K. A. Smith. They are challenged by Smith's proposition in the second chapter that we may not actually love what we say we love, since our behaviour usually shows us what we actually love. The culture we find ourselves in plays huge role in this transformation. How can we be aware of this and try to create better habits? Time to get pondering....

Drew and Perry discuss in this week's episode of The Pondercast the first chapter of a book by James K. A. Smith called, "You are what you Love." They wrestle with Smith's argument that knowledge does not lead to transformation, but correct habits that leads to transformation. How does this play into the work of theology then, particularly this podcast, which is concerned most of all with thinking? Let's get pondering.

This week on The Pondercast, Drew and Perry dive into philosophy and ethics, discussing whether lying is always sinful. While yes, lying is not ideal, but can it sometimes be loving?

Welcome back to The Pondercast! This week Drew and Perry discuss one of Jordan Peterson's recent video essays, "A Message to Christian Churches," in which he offers advice to Christians to get young people, young men especially, back into the church. Drew and Perry critique his message, offer some push-back, and acknowledge the wisdom found within.
Here is a link to the video discussed in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ytLpO7mj0&t=79s
As a side note, we talk about how angry he has become in some of his recent videos, and we thought it would be helpful to include a video he produced recently on this topic. In this video he discusses the push-back he has received because of his tone, and has an interview with a friend of his who pushes back on some of his ideas. This video, though two-hours, may be helpful to witness his openness to personal growth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXnp-rUWn8w

Welcome to The Pondercast Season 3, where we think deeply about the Bible and theology! This week Drew and Perry dig into a provocative topic: the historical accuracy of the exodus in the Old Testament book with the same name. The conversation leads into questions about the relationship between history, the Bible, and theology. They discuss some ideas that the whole of Israel didn't actually leave Egypt, only one of the tribes. They also ask how we would make sense of the Bible if the exodus did not actually happen.

Perry and Drew wrap up Season 2 of The Pondercast discussing the many reasons for the birth of Jesus? Was it merely to die for our sins? Another query they ponder is the reason why Jesus was born a baby, as opposed to just appearing as a man. Don't miss this thought-provoking Christmas-themed episode.
Thank you, dear listeners, for listening this past year. We'll be back in February or March with season 3, featuring more great episodes.

In this episode of The Pondercast Drew and Perry begin a new mini series, discussing the three-fold offices of Christ -- which is going along with their Christocentric theme this season. What are the three offices of Christ? Prophet, Priest and King. To kick off this new mini-series, Perry and Drew discuss what it means for Jesus to be a prophet, and what it means for believers today. They also look at the importance of prophets in the Old Testament, and discuss how the church in our day plays a role as a prophetic witness.

Perry and Drew are joined this week by the first ever Pondercast Panel: Dan Esau and Darwin Harder, to discuss the meaning of Protestantism for today-- just in time for Reformation Sunday (October 31). What makes a person a Protestant, beyond not being able to receive communion from Catholics? Further, what are the unifying factors that bring Protestants together? Is this even a helpful term anymore, seeing as the Protestant movement is huge and consists of many different denominations, with many different and varying theological convictions. These questions and more answered and discussed on the sixth edition of The PonderChat. Let's get pondering!

After much sadness Drew has returned to The Pondercast, to finish off the mini-series on "What did the cross accomplish?" Perry and Drew discuss the moral exemplar theory, also known as moral example, or moral influence. Perry refers to this theory as the basis of "love wins" theology, while Drew tries to see the good in this theory. They finish off looking ahead to our upcoming episodes on the Reformation. Let's get pondering.

Welcome back to The Pondercast, with Perry Siddons. Sadly, Drew Poetker could not make it for this episode. Perry goes solo, with a discussion on the big picture of the Bible, in only half an hour. He explains the process of Biblical Theology, as opposed to Systematic Theology, and begins in Genesis with God's plan for the world and goes to Revelation. As Perry notes, seeing the big picture is essential for reading the Bible, and we hope that this can be a helpful episode for you.

On The Pondercast this week, Perry continues on with the series, "What does the cross accomplish?" by looking at the effects of the cross for Christians, particularly in effecting the work of salvation. He looks at the command for believers to "crucify the flesh," and wonders what exactly that means and how to take part in it. Let's get pondering!

This week on The Pondercast, the guys continue their series, "What Did the Cross Accomplish?" by digging into the ransom theory.

Welcome to the fifth edition of The PonderChat, with the long-anticipated interview featuring Dr. Scott Hahn.

They also discuss Roman Catholic and evangelical unity, Biblical covenants, substitutionary atonement, the Virgin Mary, and how Catholics understand the presence of Jesus in the Lord’s Supper.
We’re so grateful for Dr. Hahn and his willingness to come onto the program. We hope that you enjoy this episode, and please do let us know what you think.

The Pondercast continues! This week Drew and Perry carry on their series, "What did the Cross Accomplish?" with a discussion on the atonement theory Christus victor, which is Latin for "the victory of Christ." How was Jesus victorious? Who, and what was defeated? Should this theory be pitted up again substitutionary atonement? These questions, and more, discussed on this edition of The Pondercast. Also, there may be some sweet Narnia references!

This week on The Pondercast, Drew and Perry begin looking at atonement theories and start with the big one, substitutionary atonement. They look at how it is understood, misconceptions of the theory and common criticisms. They tackle topics surrounding child sacrifice, the wrath of God, the obedience of the Son, justice, and propitiation. Throughout their discussion there are a lot of disagreements and raised voices, but it makes for a great conversation. Drew even includes a "Chronicles of Narnia" reference; and Perry a "Lord of the Flies" reference. This episode is a great introduction to atonement theories specifically penal substitutionary atonement and hopefully worth your listen. Enjoy and keep pondering.

This week on The PonderChat your two hosts are joined by Pastor Jeremy Loseth to gain some insight on a well known, but still confusing wrestling match found in Scripture (you're not gonna find something like this on WWE, you can be sure of that!). They look at the story of Jacob wrestling with God, discuss some of the misconceptions and dive into Scripture to see what this wrestling match really means for the body of Christ, the individual believer, and the church today. Seeing as Jeremy was on the program this week, you can trust that this is a very fun and informative conversation. Enjoy the fourth edition of The PonderChat!

On the one year anniversary episode of The Pondercast -- YAY! -- Perry and Drew dig deep into the reason for all the different denominations that exist. They go back in time to the great schism in the 1000s, to the Reformation, to the 20th century, and to the present day. Is there a path forward for unity amongst the various denominations? Can we agree to disagree? These questions and more answered on this week's episode of The Pondercast. Let's get pondering, and celebrate 1 year of verbal processing into a microphone!

Should the Old Testament play a role in how governments operate? Perry and Jordan Dudgeon continue their discussion on the doctrine of theonomy, that is, what is the relationship between society and the Mosaic Law? Jordan argues that, while the law has been fulfilled by Christ, the principles contained within the law can still be helpful in governing. On the other hand, Perry disagrees, saying that the New Testament gives no precedence for this idea. Spoiler alert: They don't agree in the end, but they make each other think differently, and deeply!

"Son of Man" is usually thought to refer to Jesus' humanity, but its' theological background is found in Daniel 7. We see in the Gospels that this phrase brings many of Jesus' titles and roles, and allows him to define his mission and role in the world.

This week on the Pondercast, Perry and Drew take a look at one of the main titles given to Jesus by others in the Bible: the Son God. While seemingly straight forward, Drew and Perry seek to find the true meaning, or meanings, behind this title, while still being true and honest with the biblical text. They address the problem of biological sonship, while looking into further cultural and linguistic contexts to help aid in the conversation. They also talk about the multi-dimensional aspect of "Son of God." This episode is one that contains a lot more than what meets the eye and is part one of a two episodes series on Jesus' titles, "Son of God" and "Son of Man." We hope you enjoy this episode.

Matthew's account of the crucifixion contains one of the weirdest passages in the Bible. It speaks of earthquakes, ripped curtains, and dead people being brought back to life. How in the world do we understand this weird passage? Drew and Perry discuss whether this actually happened, how we understand the timeline proposed, and if zombies roamed Jerusalem in the first century. Let's get pondering!

On the first episode of The PonderChat Drew is joined with good friend Shad Hodgman to discuss the relationship between worship and church unity. Do the origins of a song determine whether it should be sung in church? Further, what is worth leaving a church over? And, how do we choose what songs we sing? And what do we think about Hillsong, Bethel, and Elevation Church? All these questions answered and a whole lot more in the first episode of The PonderChat!

Welcome back to The Pondercast, season 2 edition, where nothing is left off the table.

Welcome back to The Pondercast, Season 2 edition! Drew and Perry come together again to discuss the big question for many evangelical Christians, "Was the world created in six literal days?" For a number of Christians in the evangelical camp, the answer has to be yes in order to get the rest of the Bible right, but Drew and Perry push back on that view, and ponder whether the Bible actually gives way for such a view. Tune in, and let's get pondering.

Was Jesus born only to die on the cross for the sins of the world, and did his earthly ministry actually mean anything more than just advancing toward the cross?

What do you think is the most important thing that Jesus accomplished while on earth? Darwin Harder and Jordan Dudgeon take over this week's episode of The Pondercast as guest hosts, and discuss how the answer to that question is often influenced by an individual's cultural focus on either guilt or shame, and how the best answer can be found by considering both.
Jordan Dudgeon and Darwin Harder are neighbours, who reside in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, and enjoy discussing theology. These two elements combined make for a great pair of guest hosts!
