A Matter of Truth

Is This Actually Biblical? | “God is Love”… But Not What You Think In this short episode of A Matter of Truth , we explore the profound biblical truth about God’s love — not the sentimental, watered-down version so common today, but the holy, sovereign, and perfect love revealed in Scripture. We tackle the tough questions: Does God love everyone the same? How can a loving God allow suffering? If G...

Ever wondered what we’re really saying when we confess in the Apostles’ Creed, ‘He descended to the dead’? In this episode of A Matter of Truth, Anthony and co-host Alex tackle one of the most misunderstood lines in the Creed from a Reformed Baptist and confessional Lutheran perspective. We cut through the myths, medieval legends, and modern distortions—Roman Catholic Harrowing of Hell, Eastern dr...

The Gospel of “Don’t judge me.” It is the ultimate conversation-stopper. In a culture that equates tolerance with affirmation, Matthew 7:1 has been hijacked and weaponized to silence truth and normalize sin. But did Jesus really command us to turn a blind eye to wickedness? In this episode of A Matter of Truth, we’re stripping away the modern layers of the "Judge Not" narrative to find the heart o...

Join us in this eye-opening episode as we put one of Christianity’s oldest confessions under the microscope of Scripture. The Apostles’ Creed is recited in churches worldwide, but is it truly apostolic—or a later church creation? We dive deep into: • The real historical origins (spoiler: not written by the Twelve Apostles!) • How it lines up (or doesn’t) with the Bible’s core teachings •...

In the first episode of our new series, Is This Actually Biblical?, we take a look at these specific statements from Mark Driscoll. We’re weighing his claims against God’s Word—affirming the reality of spiritual warfare and the deceptive nature of sexual sin, while drawing a clear line where Scripture ends and speculation begins. This episode draws a clear distinction between biblical teaching and...

In the hustle of the Christmas season, it’s easy to miss the most profound word of the story: Sent . Many assume Jesus began His existence in a manger, but Scripture paints a far greater picture—the eternal Son of God, who existed from everlasting, was sent into the world to become flesh and save us. If Jesus was merely created, He cannot save. But because He is the uncreated, divine Son given by...

Two months after Voddie was called home at 56, we honor his unflinching legacy while diving deeper into the battles he fought: syncretism in the church, family discipleship that starts at home, one race in Christ, biblical marriage & authority, and living as exiles who refuse to bow. Part tribute, part trumpet call—we expound on these truths from what we see and ask: who will carry the torch?...

In these episodes, Anthony and Alex  remember John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, and Charlie Kirk— men who stood firm for biblical truth in an age of compromise. These men were bold. They stood for Scripture when others bowed to culture. And now it’s our turn. The question is—will we stand like they did, or will we fold? Episode 1 Giants of the Faith Part 1: John MacArthur’s Legacy This epi...

We are back on the mic to take on an interesting book of the Old Testament!
