Underdog Theology

We have a couple different stories to talk about today. First we'll take a look at the discussion happening over whether Churches that choose NOT to meet on Christmas Sunday are biblically sound. Then we'll talk about my favourite thing I've read all year long. Fair warning, it's incredibly emotional. If we have time we'll also check out a CNN article about "Rapture anxiety." It's a lot!    Jonathan Tjarks' Article:  https://www.theringer.com/2022/3/3/22956353/fatherhood-cancer-jonathan-tjarks  Rapture Anxiety Article:  https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/27/us/rapture-anxiety-evangelical-exvangelical-christianity-cec/index.html ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

Tik Tok "star" pastor Brandan Robertson has built his platform on the back of deconstruction and church hurt, but is that really what he teaches?

Or something else? ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

Is Calvinism to blame for patriarchy? And John MacArthur seems to be ready to announce his successor. Piper's successor(s) seems to be making some interesting associations while promoting teaching that seems to be having some devastating results. ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

Joe Rigney wrote another article for Desiring God that has people riled up. Let's take a look and ask whether this form of male headship is biblical or not. ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

New circles are being drawn and new denominations are being developed in evangelicalism. You know what that means? FIGHTS. Lot of them! As Christians we are called to live in peace with one another, so why do we always fight over little things? And is there actual reason for new denominations? ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

Christians have become so attached to some of these celebrity pastors that it seems that these "leaders" can do no wrong. Sometimes this intense appreciation verges into idolatry.   Today we're talking about celebrity pastor culture and what it would take to stop the idolatry that some have fallen into. ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

Today is all about criticism. John Piper corrected John MacArthur on stage during the Puritan Conference at Grace Community Church. At the same time the MacArthur Center for Expository Preaching dropped an episode about how John MacArthur has dealt with his critics, at least his critics in the 80s. And TGC posted an article about how pastors shouldn't be criticized online. Lots to discuss today. ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

1517, Wittenberg Germany. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis and the Reformation was started. A lot of us know about the names attached to the Reformation, but what really happened? And does the Reformation still matter? Are Catholics different today than they were 505 years ago? Lots to be discussed on this topic. ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...

Costi Hinn recently tweeted several statements condemning some of the G3 ministries speakers he had partnered with in the past due to their stances on funding and including questionable characters like Doug Wilson. Then after meeting with G3 posted a very different apology. Was he forced to apologize? Nick Vujicic was on Kirk Cameron's show disparaging Gen Z as the most "biblically illiterate" generation ever, is he right? ✉️NEWSLETTER✉️ Sign up for my monthly newsletter here! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/deanlentini ------- MY LINKS ------- 📚 📚MY CURRENT READ📚 Finding the Right Hills to Die on: The Case for Theological Triage: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Right-...
