Here's the thing: nowhere does the Bible describe demons like that. Furthermore, we often talk of demons as fallen angels, but (spoiler alert), you're going to be hard-pressed to find that idea in the Bible as well. The truth is, a lot of what we believe about demons doesn't come from the Bible, and some of it flatly contradicts the Bible. This is what Dr. Michael Heiser and I discuss in this interview. So, what does the Bible teach about demons? Moreover, how should we allow belief in demons to affect our lives? If all this talk of demons sounds crazy to you, don't worry, we talk about that too.

What does it mean for God to be simple, and could someone please explain it to me in a simple way? These are questions that have been on my mind, and if you watch my videos, they might be things you're interested in as well. In this video, I talk with Fr. Gregory Pine, a Dominican priest and Ph. D. candidate as well as a frequent guest of both Pints with Aquinas and Godsplaining, about what the Catholic church means when it claims that God is simple and why the dogma of Divine Simplicity matters. I hope you enjoy this video and the ways in which Fr. Pine can take a complex topic and explain it in simple terms. Fr.

However, despite it's popularization through books like The Way of the Pilgrim, the Jesus Prayer remains unknown to many Christians in the West. In this video, Orthodox convert and writer Frederica Mathewes-Green shares what the Jesus Prayer is, where the Jesus Prayer comes from, and how you can incorporate the Jesus Prayer into your life in such a way that it transforms your relationship with God, leading to the prayer of the heart.

Fr. Mark Thibodeaux, a Catholic priest specializing in Ignatian spirituality, discusses the Ignatian Prayer of Examen and its significance in daily life. The chapter explores various approaches and variations of the prayer, providing advice for beginners. The guest also mentions his books and shares information about his church in New Orleans.

In this video, Dr. Tim Mackie and I explore the question of what is the Bible, what isn't the Bible, where did the Bible come from, and how should we read the Bible? Tim is the co-founder of Bible Project, one of the world's most popular theology channels. In this video, Tim shares how Bible Project started, what the journey has been like, and what the future holds for Bible Project. Of special interest to my audience, Tim and I discuss what Bible Project has to offer for Catholics and Orthodox Christians as well as the ecumenical outlook of biblical theology. On a personal level, Tim has been one of my most formative influences, and this was an experience I am not soon to forget.

Hold up, did someone say we become GOD?? If you're like me, the first time you heard this, you were a bit concerned. As an evangelical, the concept of theosis can seem more than a bit foreign. In this video with Orthodox apologist Jay Dyer, we talk about what theosis is (and isn't) and in doing so we explore differences between Eastern and Western approaches to theology. The conversation includes discussion of the essence-energies distinction, monasticism, ways in which Protestants and Orthodox are similar (and different) and much more.

In this video, Dr. Don Whitney shares insights from years of teaching biblical spirituality about how you can have a more meaningful prayer life through praying the Bible. You read that right. Reading the Bible is great, but have you ever prayed the Bible? After seeing this transform his own prayer life and the lives of countless students at seminary, Dr. Don Whitney decided it was time to write a book on this spiritual discipline to share it with the world. In this interview, we discuss how you can have a deeper and more meaningful prayer life through praying the Bible. You'll find practical tips to get more out of your prayer life as well as how to start praying the Bible. At the end, Dr. Whitney challenges you to try this for just seven minutes. I hope you will.

Join Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer, a renowned theologian and systematic theology professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, as he dives into the core Protestant tenet of sola scriptura. He explores what it means for Scripture to hold authority, clarifies common misconceptions, and addresses critiques from Catholic and Orthodox perspectives. Vanhoozer's unique journey from classical piano to theology adds depth to the discussion. Enjoy an engaging conversation about the vital role of Scripture in guiding faith and the unity found within Christian traditions.

The first time I heard about the debate between Absolute Divine Simplicity and the Essence-Energies distinction, I must confess, it all seemed a bit like something that only theologians with WAY too much time on their hands debate. I figured I'd leave the philosophical theology to the scholastics and be on my merry way. However, the more I learned, the more I thought I should at least have a cursory understanding of the issue. Then I sat down with Dr. Bradshaw. In this interview, he showed just how important the Essence-Energies distinction is, and how this affects a whole host of other doctrines. In this video he demonstrates how our view of divine simplicity can effect how we view salvation, how we view the glory of God, and much more. I was blown away, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Do Catholic arguments for the papacy hold up under scrutiny? In this passionate yet cordial dialogue between Dr. Gavin Ortlund and Joe Heschmeyer, the arguments for the papacy are examined in detail, including was there was a bishop in Rome in the first century? Is apostolic succession valid? What evidence is there for a three-fold office in the church? Was Peter head of the apostles? And so much more. These two were able to go back and forth, delving into Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the modern definitions of papal infallibility and universal jurisdiction.
