If God is both sovereign and good, why does He allow evil and suffering in the world? These are questions we often ask. For Justin, who lives in Asheville, North Carolina, they’ve just gone through a hurricane, so there are many people asking these questions. Today, Jon and Justin are having a co...

In this eye-opening episode, we expose the hidden dangers behind modern teachings that encourage believers to regularly hear God speak outside of Scripture—focusing especially on Pete Greig’s book How to Hear God.

You’ll learn how these teachings:

XL’s founders believe that the church is absolutely the best place to train men for ministry. Because of this, in 1992 XL Ministries was formed with the intent of developing internships that could be accomplished within the context of the local church.

Since the beginning of this podcast, we have often pointed you to the Banner of Truth Trust for very careful, helpful books. That book publisher was started by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, a pastor in London in early-mid 1900s. While we have pointed you to Lloyd-Jones, we have never truly shared one o...

1. Eternal Light! Eternal Light!
How pure that soul must be,
When, placed within Thy searching sight,
It shrinks not, but with calm delight
Can live, and look on Thee.

2. The spirits that surround Thy throne
May bear the burning bliss;
But surely that is theirs alone
Who, undefiled, have never k...

Last week John Snyder and Steve Crampton began discussing how a New Testament Christian should approach God’s moral law (the 10 Commandments).

In part two of our series on deliverance ministry, we discuss the Greek word daimonizomai, which many deliverance ministers translate as "demonization." We ask whether or not the Bible teaches that Christians can be demonized and what Scripture teaches about how Christians should interact with th...

The key issue in this section is that we are either dead in sin or dead to sin. We do not need human wisdom and people management techniques; we need Christ and His redemption. Those who trust in Christ will be revealed with Him when He comes and is revealed in His eternal glory. These verses pro...

In this episode we address John Mark Comer's claim that there are spiritual masters of the Way. This is one of the errors that Paul addressed in First Corinthians. We describe the faulty value systems of different groups and show how they are all various versions of spiritual elitism. We also dis...

What if “learning” to prophesy is less about hearing God and more about making stuff up? This episode exposes how popular methods like the “ABC filter” blur the line between God’s voice and human guesswork — or worse, flirt with practices the Bible clearly warns against. Rather than relying on a ...

Does the Christian life ever feel like you're sitting on a bicycle, pedaling as hard as you possibly can, but not going anywhere—only to realize there's no chain on the bike? That's what we call "gospel-lite, law-heavy living." You feel like you're putting in a lot of effort but not making any pr...

We continue to examine John Mark Comer's claim that Jesus is looking for apprentices in the kingdom of God, not converts. We start with a definition of the kingdom of God and discuss what Scripture says about it, beginning with Acts 1:6-11. We also discuss Charles Finney's influence on America.

Vic Murphy is a preacher who isn’t afraid to jump his BMX over you!

Luther wasn’t a mad monk or the founder of “individualism.” Flawed though he was, he was a pastor-theologian gripped by the gospel. Bob Hiller helps clear away caricatures of antinomianism, antisemitism, and profligate monk, setting the record straight on Martin Luther.

In his book "Practicing the Way" John Mark Comer claims that we can "do as Jesus did." Bob DeWaay shows that to "do as He did" assumes that you have to "be who He is." We cannot do what Jesus did because He is completely unique as the second member of the Trinity, fully God and fully man. Only J...

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child!
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

2. Silent night! holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
