Connecting to the Local Church with Robert Ward

In this episode, Tyler talks with Robert Ward about connecting to the local church. One of the questions we must ask is whether or not attending church is enough—the weekly waking up, getting out the door, and listening to the sermon. Of course, this is a part of what Christians are called to do, but it isn't the whole of it. Listen in as Robert and Tyler take a look at what the Bible says about the how and why of connecting to the local church.

The God of the Bible with Bruce Ware

In this episode, Tyler talks with Bruce Ware about the God of the Bible. The Bible makes it very clear that the Holy Scriptures are God's breathed word to his creation. This means we can only understand who God is and how he acts based on what we he has communicated to us in his Word. But what does God say about himself? Is he one God, three Gods, are other religions' gods actually just the God of the Bible? There are a number of good and important questions that must be answered to ensure that we worship God rightly. In addressing these questions and others, Dr. Ware helps us to more faithfully understand what God revealed about himself and why he alone is worthy of all praise.

Christian Worldview with Albert Mohler

In this episode, Tyler talks with Albert Mohler about the topic of Christian worldview. Each of us has a lens through which we make sense of what we see in the world, a view that ultimately informs the way we think and believe and behave. This is true of every human being living today. The difference is not whether someone has a worldview or not, but rather, what informs their worldview. For Christians, the Bible calls us to cultivate our view of the world on the basis of the absolute truths of Scripture, God's revealed Word to his people. For most of his life, Albert Mohler has dedicated himself to the task of helping Christians analyze the world around them through the lens of Scripture. In this conversation, Dr. Mohler seeks to helps Christians to better understand and apply the Christian worldview.

What Is the Gospel? with Greg Gilbert

In this episode, Tyler talks with Greg Gilbert about the question, "What Is the Gospel?" Of all of the truths of Scripture, none is more vital to the Christian faith than that of the gospel. Quite literally, the gospel is the good news, and it’s good because it’s the message of salvation to sinners. So, it’s supremely important to have a clear, biblical understanding of this life-giving message. To misunderstand the gospel is to misunderstand God’s entire plan of redemption—his means of bringing forth life from death. In this conversation, Greg helps us think through what the gospel is, and just an important, what it is not.

Christians and Politics with Andy Naselli

In this episode, Tyler talks with Dr. Andy Naselli about Christians and politics. Politics is one of those arenas that presents ample opportunity for hostility, dissension, hatred, and disunity—and the last decade or so has revealed to the world that American politics is more divisive than ever. In a contentious political climate such as this what are Christians to think and do? How are we to think through political issues biblically? Dr. Naselli helps us to think through these things and more, and most importantly, encourages us in how to love those who have different politics than we do.

But what does the Bible say about church membership? In this conversation, we discuss how the Bible is quite clear on church membership and how the New Testament in particular sets church membership as the standard of the church.

Dr. Akin answers these questions and more as he helps us to better understand why God has chosen preaching as his main means of revealing himself to the world and why it's a vital and irreplaceable part of the Christian life.
