Theology Applied

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel is joined by William Wolfe. The two of them discuss the rapidly growing divide among Evangelicals regarding Christian Nationalism. It appears that there is a second wave of “fault-lines” emerging. Regardless of the controversy, Christian Nationalism is the only way forward.

Have you ever experienced persecution for following Jesus? There is really only one way to avoid persecution as a Christian. Watch this episode to find out!

Pastor Joel Webbon preaches on the true nature of confession and the biblical characteristics of “godly sorrow” from Psalm 51:1-5.

A Pastor “must” be above reproach, but all Christians “should” be above reproach. So what does it look like to live a life that is above reproach?

Pride is a subtle sin. We often do not see it in ourselves, but we are quick to perceive it in others. Perhaps, one helpful indicator of pride in our own lives is recognizing how bothered we are when we think we see pride in the lives of others.

A friend and I had a discussion over this question: Is God ever thankful? More particularly, is God ever thankful towards those who obey His Word? Or should we merely say that God is “pleased” with our obedience?

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon welcomes Steve Deace (from the Blaze Network) back on the show. Steve carefully explains the true origins of Thanksgiving Day. Then Steve and Joel turn to the disgraceful decision of 12 GOP senators who recently voted to codify Obergefell into law, leaving Christians completely vulnerable to the Spirit of the Age. This episode is fire. Buckle up. 

The Apostle Paul instructs Timothy not to allow anyone to despise him for his youth. There will always be a temptation for us to attempt to write-off the message of God’s Word by unfairly criticizing his messengers.

Whether our source of hardship be from without or within, the Lord is a “refuge” to all those who seek shelter in him. God is not merely our hope of future deliverance from every kind of “trouble,” but he is also our source of “present help.” He presently helps his people by equipping and empowering them to bear any kind of trouble they may find. It is for this reason that “the righteous are as bold as lions” in the face of all uncertainty and disaster, knowing that God is sovereign over both good and evil. For as the prophet says, “Does disaster come to a city, unless the Lord has done it?” (Amos 3:6). Kingdoms, nations, and all the inhabitants of the earth will come and go. Even if the “earth [itself] gives way” by wars or natural desolations, we possess an unshakable refuge in our God.
