How TO Know God (How to Share the Gospel without Relying on Pagan Thought) (Pt 2) | Guest: Dr. Jeffrey Johnson
How do we help others to know God? It's one of the most important questions you can ever ask in life. But not everyone agrees on the answer—even among Christians.
When you share the Gospel, you're practicing evangelism. In this episode, we're going to discuss how your view of how to know God directly impacts how you evangelize.
Johnson is the president and professor of Expository Preaching, Covenant Theology, Ecclesiology, Apologetics at Grace Bible Theological Seminary. He's also the author of the controversial new book, The Failure of Natural Theology, in which he digs into the epistemology and theology of Thomas Aquinas. Johnson says Aquinas, by drawing too heavily from Aristotle, misses the mark.
In this second part of the conversation, Joel Settecase, Prof Khaldoun Sweis and Dr. Johnson discuss how to share the Gospel (evangelize) in light of what the Bible really teaches about how to know God. Don’t miss it!

How NOT to Know God (Mixing Theology with Greek Philosophy) (Pt 1) | Guest: Dr. Jeffrey Johnson
Jeff Johnson wrote one of the most controversial books of 2021, and we’re going to talk about it with him. How do we come to know God? It’s one of the most important questions you can ever ask in life. But not everyone agrees on the answer—even among Christians.
The study of knowledge is epistemology, and the study of God is theology. There have been very diverse approaches to both epistemology and theology within the church throughout history, but which approach is best? We're going to get into both epistemology and theology in this episode with Dr. Jeff Johnson.
Johnson is the president and professor of Expository Preaching, Covenant Theology, Ecclesiology, Apologetics at Grace Bible Theological Seminary. He's also the author of the controversial new book, The Failure of Natural Theology, in which he digs into the epistemology and theology of Thomas Aquinas. Johnson says Aquinas, by drawing too heavily from Aristotle, misses the mark.
In this first part of the conversation, Joel Settecase, Prof Khaldoun Sweis and Dr. Johnson discuss the theology of Aquinas, and how his faulty starting point (i.e. human sense experience) led him to a faulty view of God.

The Challenge of Christian Political Engagement | Guests: Stephen Wolfe & Thomas Achord of "Ars Politica"
If you’re a follower of Jesus, you have a king in Heaven; His kingdom is secure, and it will last forever. This is an important reality to keep in mind. Because of this, however, it can be tempting to ignore all earthly political issues as unimportant. Is this the correct posture for Christians? While we shouldn’t let politics dominate our lives, is there a proper way of engaging in the political realm, productively and biblically, without sacrificing our Christian integrity? And how do we lead our families into the sphere of politics (without stressing out our wives and kids, preferably)?
This is Part One of our interview with Stephen Wolfe and Thomas Achord, hosts of the “Ars Politica” podcast. Listen as they discuss why they decided to wade into politics and how they approach the threat of harmful, leftist ideology.

The Challenge of Mass Formation Psychosis (A Christian Analysis) | Guests: Stephen Wolfe & Thomas Achord of "Ars Politica"
Mass formation psychosis. Depending on whom you listen to, it’s either the perfect description of our cultural situation, or else it’s not a real thing at all.
Jesus is king. We need to remember this. While we shouldn’t let politics dominate our lives, is there a proper way of engaging in the political realm, productively and biblically, without sacrificing our Christian integrity? And how do we lead our families into the sphere of politics (without stressing out our wives and kids, preferably)?
This is Part Two of our interview with Stephen Wolfe and Thomas Achord, hosts of the “Ars Politica” podcast.
Listen as they discuss the now-infamous idea of Mass Formation Psychosis, and what to do about it.
