39 - Boom. Roasted. (A Review of an Article I Wrote in 2014)
In this episode, I review an article I wrote in 2014 to examine my theological journey. Many people seem unwilling or unable to articulate how they have grown. This episode is an attempt to audit my own development to see how I’ve changed. https://www.amazon.com/Killed-Michael-Brown-Shelby-Steele/dp/B08L9NVK4Jhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlokPx6QHBohttp://jchasedavis.blogspot.com/2014/11/foreigner.htmlhttp://theembassy.org/index.php/foreigner-chase-davis/Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

38 - Borders, Boundaries, and Power
In this episode, we explore several underlying ideas which have wide ranging implications from disciple making to international relations. Many people think our world is one in which individualism is rampant. But what if it was enmeshment that was rampant? We seem unable to discuss borders and boundaries both relationally and nationally. We also seem to display a double standard when it comes to defending our own country compared to our outcry over defending others. The latest example can be seen in Ukraine (2022). Why do boundaries matter? What should we think of power? How should Christians pray for world events?MereO Article - https://mereorthodoxy.com/borderless/Aaron Renn Newsletter - https://aaronrenn.substack.com/p/newsletter-61-rediscovering-the-lost?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=webPodcast on Imprecatory Psalms - https://fullprooftheology.buzzsprout.com/1249781/9066006-21-imprecatory-psalms-and-pacifismSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

37 - Dr. Brian Mattson on Public Theology, Herman Bavinck, and Being Banned from Twitter
In this episode, Dr. Mattson and I discuss public theology (what it is and what it isn’t) particularly as it relates to Herman Bavinck. We also discuss how Christians can be good public theologians today. Do we need public theology? How do we decide when to risk access to the public square by saying things that could get us banned from the public square? Brian Mattson is a theologian, writer, speaker. He has a B.A. from Montana State University-Billings, an M.A.R. from Westminster Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland). He currently serves as Senior Scholar of Public Theology for the Center for Cultural Leadership and Adjunct Professor of Systematic and Public Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia). He lives in Billings, Montana with his wife and daughters, where he goes fly-fishing at every opportunity.http://drbrianmattson.com/The Square Inch - https://brianmattson.substack.com/The Quarter Inch - https://briangmattson.substack.com/Restored to Our Destiny - https://amzn.to/3JcXSiuhttps://christianculture.com/Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

34 - Tim Keller, Chris Watkin, and Biblical Critical Theory
In this episode, we explore the concept of a Biblical Critical Theory as represented by Chris Watkin (and Tim Keller). Can Christians use critical theory?

What are some dangers associated with this approach?Tim Keller on Critical Theory: https://twitter.com/timkellernyc/status/1479050866573389829"Biblical Critical Theory" an RTS lecture by Chris Watkin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsiSWjEfN-E"Why 'Third Way' Missiology Isn't Enough": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEyz0Uy0-5oSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

33 - Sympathy and Empathy, What's the Difference and Why Does it Matter?
In this episode, I discuss the difference between sympathy and empathy from a biblical and philosophical perspective, and why it matters for Christians. Many today are more fond of empathy than sympathy. In some cases, sympathy is viewed as uncaring. How did this change occur? What should be done about it?Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

32 - Deconstructionism, Exvangelical, and Church Reform
In this episode, I discuss the deconstructionism in the church, where it comes from, and what I see it doing. Efforts to reform the church come and go but I offer some general principles and warnings on how to do it well. What does reform look like today? What does it mean to deconstruct? Why are some churches preaching deconstruction sermons?Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
