America is experiencing The Great Unchurching, the fastest religious shift in modern history. In this episode, we examine the data behind church closures, rising religious disaffiliation, political Christianity, and the collapse of institutional trust.
We say Christmas is about Jesus—but rarely do we stop and ask who He truly is. In this episode, we move past sentiment and tradition and take a serious look at the theological weight of Christ Himself.
After all the theological discussions, Christmas has arrived
As candlelight Christmas Eve services stream across the country, this episode pauses to ask a simple but rarely examined question: how did Christmas Eve become the emotional center of Christmas, and what has that shift formed us to expect?
A reflection on Hallmark Christmas movies, comfort stories, and how our longing for tidy endings shapes what we expect Christmas—and even the church—to deliver.
A reflection that begins with Superman and leads to a deeper question many face at Christmas: how do we live with a God who is said to be with us, yet often feels unreachable? This episode explores the tension between power, goodness, suffering, and distance—without rushing to resolve it.
Christmas often intensifies emotion—joy, longing, grief, loneliness, and everything in between. In this episode, we reflect on why the season carries such emotional weight, how expectations and memory shape our experience, and why Christmas can be especially difficult for some.
Christmas is often presented as warmth, wonder, and encouragement. Scripture, however, presents it as something far more serious—and far more necessary. This episode is not about how to feel at Christmas, but why Christmas had to happen at all.
Five days before Christmas, churches are filled with music, lights, pageants, and carefully crafted moments meant to make us feel comforted. But what if what shapes us this week is atmosphere rather than Scripture?

In Part 4 of Catholic Theology in Protestant Clothing, we confront the tension that has driven the entire series. Scripture commands, "Repent and believe"—but if repentance and faith are treated as human actions that secure justification, the Gospel collapses back into Law.
This episode reviews the Christmas message "No Room for Jesus" by examining how Luke 2:7 is often expanded beyond what the text actually says. We address the hermeneutical and theological problems that arise when speculation and cultural outrage replace careful exegesis and Gospel-centered proclamation.
In this episode of Theology Central, we examine a theological article that challenges "faith alone" and argues that certain works of obedience are necessary for salvation. While the argument initially sounds balanced and biblical, a closer look reveals something deeper

this guy is a hack
This was excellent! Can you do a follow up? I feel you had a lot more to say!
My advice? This guy needs to go ahead and get some responsible teaching from somewhere to help understand that line of thinking. To post content like this highlights that he clearly doesn't understand the subject matter he's raised in this episode so would have been better to study up on it before making an episode on it shows up as incoherent rambling. He's clearly confused and this episode is passing on that confusion to others. 😁 This not a dig; there's an opportunity to learn here for him.
Very thought-provoking indeed.
For too long has the church been trying to TELL the world who Jesus Christ is instead of SHOWING its belief through its actions! Actions speak louder than words, people! ✝️
We will continue our look at Ezra chapter 10 later this morning. If you missed part 1 or 2, you may want to listen before part 3 is posted.
