Just and Sinner Podcast

I was joined by Rev. Matthew Fenn to discuss a recent dialogue which occurred between Doug Wilson and James White in which they talked about Federal Vision. We showed what some of the primary differences between the Lutheran and Reformed traditions are on these points.

Today's program is a lecture I delivered at to students at Cornell University on the cosmic nature of redemption. I speak about common misconceptions about salvation, such as the idea that the telos is the departure of the soul from the body. I talk about the physical nature of redemption, and how this includes both people and the earth.

Today's podcast is a Q&A program, following up on the questions I addressed two programs prior. I discussed recent comments from R. Scott Clark regarding Luther on baptismal regeneration and the perseverance of the saints, and also touched on some similar comments from J.V. Fesko. I also answered a question about covenant theology, and specifically republication.

Today's podcast is a lecture a delivered at a Reformation Celebration in NY on a topic the local LCMS pastors requested that I speak on: Lutheran Piety. I discuss the meaning of the term "piety," the distinctive aspects of Lutheran spirituality, and many other related questions.

On today's podcast, I answered three listener questions. 1. Is David Bentley Hart a Marcionite? 2. Do Lutherans believe in consubstantiation? 3. Is there really a difference between Calvin and Zwingli on the Lord's Supper? This is the first of a two-part Q&A series this month.

Today's program is a lecture I gave at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ithaca, NY on the Reformed tradition. I discussed both Zwingli and Calvin, and then some of the key theological differences between the Reformed and Lutheran traditions.

Today's program follows up on the previous discussion of Lutheranism in America with an overview of some significant thinkers in the Lutheran world. The figures I discussed here are: Revere Franklin Weidner, Henry Eyster Jacobs, Milton Valentine, and C.F.W. Walther.

This program is a discussion of the beginnings of Lutheranism in America, and the splits which occurred in the nineteenth century.

Delve into the complexities surrounding Joshua Harris and the evolving critiques of purity culture. Discover how his anti-dating stance shaped a generation and the implications of his recent public apostasy. The discussion dives into the harsh realities of purity practices, questioning their scriptural foundations and potential harm. Explore how societal shifts have redefined marriage expectations and the role of sexual purity in relationship success. Striking a balance, the conversation emphasizes the importance of valuing both marriage and singleness within the church.

This month's Q&A podcast addressed these questions: Did Christ assume a fallen human nature? Should preaching always follow a law/gospel structure? What is the chief end of man?
