That’ll Preach

Jesus died on the cross for our sins, but that’s not the end of the story. Theologian and pastor Jeremy Treat joins us to talk about all the cross accomplished on our behalf and how that changes the way we communicate the gospel to a post-Christian world. We go through the three main theories of the atonement: Christus Victor, penal substitutionary atonement, and moral example and show how these integrate with one another to redeem all the aspects of our life in a fallen world. Jeremy also shares his own experience as a pastor in Los Angeles with regard to spiritual warfare, the occult, and the impact of the Enlightenment. Enjoy this episode.

Dr. Brad Littlejohn, a Reformed Anglican theologian, discusses Richard Hooker's approach to navigating tensions within the Reformation. They explore combining Protestant theology with Catholic practices for reformation. They highlight the pitfalls of radicalism in reform movements during times of social change.

We naturally understand that the phrase “God is wise” differs from “God is a rock”. One speaks formally about God and the other informally or metaphorically, but what about a less clear phrase like “God is angry?” Ryan Hurd from the Davenant Institute joins us for a provocative conversation about how God possesses zero wrath and why both “God is angry” and “God is a rock” operate as metaphors. Also, Ryan shares how the Incarnation amplifies our understanding of metaphor and draws us closer to the heart of God. We’ve also got a brand new theme song courtesy of our friend Daniel Vincent.

We often think about Classical Christian Education in terms of what it’s against. It’s against public schools, secularism, and bad social influences. But what is a classical Christian education for? Dale Stenberg who hosts the Pilgrim Faith podcast and serves as headmaster of Pietas Classical Christian school join us to talk about the positive vision of a Christian education. We talk about how a classical Christian education molds a student as a whole person, mind, body, and soul, to be a self-learner and a virtuous citizen of society. We talk about the importance of dialogue, narrative, and cultivating our palettes to love the good, true, and beautiful. We also discuss common myths about classical education creating sheltered socially-awkward students or belligerent culture warriors. Join us as we uncover the purpose and joy of education.

The name John Calvin sends a cold chill down the spine of some Christians. The famous Reformer seems cold, detached, and authoritarian due to his teachings on predestination, election, and his role in the execution of the heretic Servetus. But there’s more to Calvin’s story than meets the eye. What if we’ve misunderstood him completely? Dr. Peter Lillback of Westminster Theological Seminary joins us to shed new light on the life and theology of Calvin. This towering figure in church history viewed himself first and foremost as a pastor and preacher concerned with the Eucharist, missions, and even religious liberty. Join us as we get to the heart of the real John Calvin. Show Notes Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel  

How should Christians think about contentment in all situations of life. When times are good there’s a temptation to complacency. When times are difficult we struggle with despair and bitterness. Calvin encourages Christians to meditate on the fragility and temporary nature of life in order to cultivate eternal hope.  Website: thatllpreach.io IG: @thatllpreachpodcast

Roman Catholics often critique the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura because it devolves into subjectivity and ignores the witness of church history. In this episode, Sean Luke of Anglican Aesthetics challenges those critiques by looking at what both the Church Fathers and the Reformers actually believed. He also advocates for the position of “Sola Apostolica” as a way to demonstrate the Reformers as the true heirs of the Apostolic teaching. He also takes issue with Roman Catholic claims about doctrinal development, papal declarations about dogma, and the role of personal judgment. Finally, we end the conversation with a discussion on the future of Catholic-Protestant dialogue and a potential plan for reunification.
