The Postscript Show

On this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Chris Allred as he discusses the necessity of personal surrender to the Lord and the authority of His Word as we grow in ministry.

Did the Gospel of Mark originally end at Mark 16:8, or do Mark 16:9–20 belong in Scripture? For nearly two centuries, modern textual critics have questioned the authenticity of the final twelve verses of Mark, leading many modern Bible translations to bracket the passage or include editorial notes suggesting it may not have been part of the original text. In this episode, Brandon Briscoe is joined...

Conflict is everywhere. Nations wage war against nations. Churches divide, families fracture, friendships dissolve, and even within the human heart there is pride, fear, and bitterness. Scripture reveals that conflict is not merely psychological or circumstantial—it is spiritual. From Satan's rebellion in heaven to the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden, the story of humanity has been marked by di...

In this new Ps+ series, we join Pastor Chris Allred as he takes us through a personal, practical set of episodes focused on development in the area of ministry leadership. 

When Christians think of missionary history, the names most often remembered are the bold pioneers, famous martyrs, and larger-than-life evangelists. Yet some of Christ's most influential servants lived lives marked not by public acclaim but by quiet, steadfast faithfulness. In this episode, we continue our Unknown Missionary series by exploring the life and ministry of Wesley Duewel—missionary to...

Few responsibilities shape the next generation more profoundly than parenting, yet few areas of life are more vulnerable to subtle compromise, misplaced priorities, and spiritual drift. Many parents genuinely love their children, provide for their needs, protect them, and give them every opportunity to succeed, yet still unknowingly cultivate homes where Christ is not central, discipleship is negl...

On this long-form episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a discussion about what makes us human. 

There is a theological thread woven throughout Scripture that many Christians have never fully traced—a theme that stretches from Eden to eternity, from the wilderness tabernacle to the New Jerusalem. It is the story of God dwelling with humanity. In this episode, we explore the "Seven Temples" of the Bible and uncover how each temple reveals something profound about God's character, humanity's re...

For centuries, Christians have wrestled with one of the most important questions in theology: when Jesus says, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,” what exactly does He mean? Is Christ describing an irresistible act of divine selection given only to a predetermined few, or is He revealing the gracious provision of God through the very person and work of Christ Hi...

In the final episode of Pastor Justin Trotter's series on biblical parenting, we discuss the importance of the ministry of reconciliation in how our children are envisioned in their walk with Christ. 

What do you do when you're on the mission field and the plan you penciled down doesn’t work out the way you imagined—when your circumstances are less than ideal? For a lot of missionaries—and honestly, for anyone serious about ministry—trusting God with the unknown is just part of the experience. You don’t always get to choose the setting, the timing, or the conditions… but you do get to choose ho...

Few doctrines stir up more unease in the modern church than the topic of hell. Even recently in the Christian podcast world, debates on the doctrine of hell have been highly publicized. Long-held assumptions about hell and damnation are being challenged by a broader cultural discomfort with the idea of divine judgment. Many believers have recently been asking: Is conscious torment biblical? Is hel...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Justin Trotter for a conversation about the need for parents to have an authentic passion in a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Dispensationalism has been all over theological and political media recently. It is often discussed but frequently misunderstood and, at times, dismissed by those who have never carefully examined it. As a framework for understanding the Bible, dispensationalism has taken many forms and expressions… So what is dispensationalism? Does it have historical precedent, or is it merely an invention of po...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Justin Trotter to discuss the critical importance of raising awareness of Satan’s devices of temptation and derailment in our children—and how we can train them to respond biblically. 

Has God been changing the way He saves people throughout history—or has the message always been the same? Were people under the Law saved by keeping the Law—or has it always been grace through faith? If salvation is by grace through faith today, what exactly saved people before the cross? In this episode of The Postscript, we tackle an often-misunderstood aspect of dispensational theology, the rel...

Few questions shape our confidence in the Bible more than this one: Has God actually preserved His words for us today? Most Christians readily affirm that Scripture was inspired in the beginning—but far fewer have considered what it means for God to preserve His word through history. In this episode, we explore the doctrine of preservation by looking at the Bible’s own testimony about its enduranc...

In this episode of the Ps+ Pastor Justin Trotter walks through ways in which being disingenuous and inauthentic in our walk with Christ can be poisonous to our childrens' growth and our relationship with them. 

In an expensive city, “meeting space” is one of the greatest tests to the fidelity of a pastor’s vision. Where you gather shapes how you gather, what you can sustain, and how your people think about stewardship, stability, and mission. And when a church doesn’t own its space, it lives with a constant paradox: the freedom of being nimble next to the vulnerability of being temporary. Today’s episode...

Every growing church eventually runs into a question that isn’t just practical—it’s pastoral: What do we do when the work is outgrowing the room?   A building can be a blessing, but it can also become a bottleneck. And when a congregation has poured love, labor, and resources into a space, the thought of moving on to a new building brings real tension—feelings of uncertainty and—not to mention— th...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Justin Trotter again to discuss the necessity for discipleship as a priority in the home. 

Baptism is one of the most familiar practices in Christianity—and one of the most misunderstood. Is it a symbol, a sacrament, a step of obedience, or the moment salvation happens? In this episode we trace baptism throughout the Bible and through its many different religious expressions in order to find out what’s doctrinally true. Along the way we tackle infant baptism, baptismal regeneration, “ba...

In this installment of the Ps+ we join Pastor Justin Trotter for another conversation on the dangers and consequences of a parental testimony that lacks biblical discipline. Full of biblical examples and practical principles, this episode is a must-listen for new and experienced parents and disciplers alike. 

Before we can debate buildings, budgets, or strategy, it’s probably important that we address a simpler question: what did Jesus and the apostles actually mean by “the church”? The New Testament presents the church not as a place but as a gathered people—living, mobile, and shaped to meet the needs of the world they were sent to. In this episode of The Postscript, we step into first-century Christ...

In ministry circles we often repeat the phrase, “God doesn’t call the equipped—He equips the called.” But what if that well-meaning statement leaves out something essential? Throughout Scripture, the men God used most were not rushed into leadership—they were shaped, tested, humbled, and prepared long before they were ever placed in front of people. Moses learned obscurity before shepherding a nat...
