The Doxology Podcast

Welcome back to our fourth annual Heresy Month. What could be scarier than bad theology? Nothing. On the first Heresy Month 2023 episode, the guys approach the topic of heresy from a different perspective. Instead of talking about heresy outright, they discuss how heresies can manifest themselves in semi, pseudo, and neo ways. Jens was even bold enough to claim that Semi-Pelagian theology crept its way into Charles Finney, resulting in the state of the American church today.    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

---ORIGINALLY UPLOADED OCTOBER 5, 2021---- Next week we will be kicking off Heresy Month 2023. To get you in the mood for some spooky theology, we are throwing it back to an episode from Heresy Month 2021 on Pelagianism.  Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys discuss how the Road to Emmaus story can inform our conversations about and surrounding deconstruction, as this story offers a unique paradigm into issues of faith and practice in our modern context.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys tackle another listener recommendation (thanks Jeremy!). Back in February, Jeremy requested that they discuss the nature of the "sin unto death" as found in 1 John. What is it? Who can commit it? Is it spiritual or physical death? Both? This is one of the most difficult passages in all of the New Testament to interpret.    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

---Originally Uploaded on 9/7/2021.---   The guys chat with Gavin Ortlund about his recent work on Anselm: "Anselm's Pursuit of Joy." They discuss Anselm's Ontological Argument, his high view of friendship, and more.

Jens and Lukas recently had the privilege of sitting down with Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, the author of a recently published book entitled, "Following Jesus in a Warming World: A Christian Call to Climate Action." Kyle was previously the vice president of the Evangelical Environmental Network. Additionally, he was the national organizer and spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, and he has been featured in news outlets such as CNN, PBS, NPR, NBC News, and U.S. News & World Report. He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his wife and two children. On this episode, they discuss climate change from a Christian perspective, what meaningful steps can be taken to combat climate change, and how we ought to live with an "empathetic imagination" when it comes to issues surrounding our warming world.   Where to find Kyle: https://kylemeyaardschaap.com/ https://www.ivpress.com/kyle-meyaard-schaap   Important Resources Relating to Climate Change: https://creationcare.org/ https://yecaction.org/   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast   Be sure to check out our Twitter (X) page, where we will be giving away one copy of Kyle's book!    A special shoutout and thank you is owed to Krista Clayton at IVP for organizing the interview and sending us copies of Kyle's important book.

A listener (thanks Hayden!) recently suggested that we revisit our list of our most influential theologians. A lot can change in 3+ years. In our minds, nobody should have an identical list in a span that long. The 10 individuals (5 for each of us) on this list are currently shaping our minds, hearts, and actions. Who would make your top 5?   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys tackle another supernatural topic: The Witch of Endor. This strange Bible passage contains the story about Saul seeking wisdom from Samuel's spirit. He goes to a medium at Endor to do so. What's the deal with this peculiar account? Can this sort of thing still be replicated today? If so, should it be? There are no wizards named Harry in this far out tale.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

Given the recent events surrounding a certain congressional hearing, the guys discuss their take on aliens, UFOs, and the supernatural. How should Christians approach the topics? Are the claims legitimate to begin with? Tune in for an out-of-this-world episode.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast  

We all have routines and patterns. Few of us often stop to ponder the "why" behind them. We would do well to consider our days and what fills them. On this episode, the guys discuss why good rhythms matter.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast
