Recovering Fundamentalist Podcast

We have all heard different opinions about Bible Translations, but what does the Bible say about Bible Translation? Is accuracy more important than readability? Are Modern Translations “dumbing down” the Bible? JC, Brian, and Nate continue their conversation with Mark Ward on this important topic in the second episode of our KJV series.

This episode opens our 4 part series with Mark Ward on The King James Version and Modern Translations. In Part 1, we look at the History of the Bible. Inspiration, Preservation, and Textual Criticism are explored in light of the KJVO controversy. Our view on Scripture should come from Scripture and should be able to be defended from Scripture.

Hunter Strength opens up about his recent experience with an ordination committee that recalled his ordination certificate because he refused to make a doctrinal stand on a tradition of the IFB. JC, Brian, and Nathan uncover the truth about the politics that plague the IFB movement in this powerful episode.

In this episode, Brian interviews his dad, Craig Edwards, for the second time. They continue their transparent discussion about their experience in the IFB and God's faithfulness after their transition out. These men have walked through the fire and have emerged with the scars and wisdom that has been used to encourage countless others who have been called to walk the same path they stumbled down, years ago. God never wastes our suffering.

In this episode, Jared shares a sermon on the purpose of the Gospel in our lives. He points out the very real danger of forgetting the Gospel and its importance. This sermon speaks powerfully to the very reason we started the RFP podcast. Believing and living out this message will change your life and connect you to the power of God in your daily life. Enjoy.

JC, Brian, and Nate sit down for a conversation today with Jared Wilson. Jared C. Wilson is Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry at Spurgeon College, Author in Residence at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, General Editor of For The Church (and host of the FTC Podcast), and Director of The Pastoral Training Center at Liberty Baptist Church in Kansas City, MO. He also co-hosts The Art of Pastoring Podcast hosted by Christianity Today.Jared is not a catalytic "agent of change" or a visionary anything. He is a failed church planter and once made a mess of his marriage. He likes food too much and worries way too much about what people think, and he's definitely not all that he's cracked up to be. After 25 years of ministry, he's mainly learned that he's kind of a nincompoop. But he knows Jesus loves him.

Take 2: Barnabas Piper joins JC, Brian, and Nathan to share his story and to answer questions about his books, The Pastor's Kid, Help My Unbelief, The Curious Christian, and Hoping for Happiness. This is an encouraging episode for anyone who has struggled with legalism or knows the pressures of being in ministry.

Barnabas Piper joins JC, Brian, and Nathan for the first of a 2 part interview. This week we are going to be looking at 2 topics that are often used by legalists to reinforce their position. The Fear of God and Keeping the Commandments are both often misrepresented and misunderstood, so this week Barnabas is teaching from Ecclesiastes 12:13 to help us understand what it means to walk in wisdom rather than legalism. Let's hear The End of the Matter...

This is an opportunity to fill in some blanks from the past few weeks and to get a glimpse at what is to come in the future with JC, Brian, and Nate. FIFTY Episodes, baby!!! What a journey! LLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTT'SSSSS GOOOOOOOO... Look, a Squirrel!

Live from Vegas at the Idea Summit! The RFP set out to recover something over a year ago. The hosts ask some important questions in today's episode that get to the heart of the issue: What are the Old Paths? What is Fundamentalism? What are the Fundamentals? Who are the true Fundamentalists? JC, Brian, and Nate blow the dust off of a set of books written between 1910-1915, The Fundamentals: A Testimony To The Truth, in order to discover what True Fundamentalism was intended to be about. There are many things they found and many they didn't find that surprised them.
