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/

25 - Suffering Is Not Good
In this episode, we discuss suffering and persecution. These complex topics deal with the problem of evil and real lives of people. They often surface our presuppositions of godliness and theological anthropology.Suffering and the Goodness of God - https://amzn.to/3odUAnE“What Does It Mean to Weep with Those Who Weep?” Kevin DeYoung - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/what-does-it-mean-to-weep-with-those-who-weep/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/

24 - When “Gospel-Centered” Isn’t Gospel Enough
In this episode, we'll discuss the idea of being "gospel-centered" as well as some vulnerabilities of a truncated gospel message. Often people use the phrase “gospel-centered” to emphasize a focus on justification and soteriology while at times ignoring larger gospel themes in the Bible. How does this play out today? Who might be guilty of this truncated gospel? What movements have popularized the idea of being “gospel-centered?”“Creational Worldview,” Andrew Sandlin - https://amzn.to/3lDVHdo“What Does It Mean to Weep with Those Who Weep?” Kevin DeYoung - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/what-does-it-mean-to-weep-with-those-who-weep/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/
