Eye on Christianity

Christians often repeat the command to "test all things by Scripture," but few stop to consider what that really means. In this episode, we examine the logical circularity, theological tension, and historical consequences of this idea

For centuries, we've pictured Martin Luther hammering his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg—but history says otherwise. In this episode, we uncover what really happened on October 31, 1517, why the famous hammer-and-door scene is a legend, and why truth matters more than the myth.

Many pastors still preach the myth of the high priest's ankle rope — but Scripture and history say otherwise. In this episode, we expose the legend, explain its popularity, and show why truth matters more than pulpit folklore.

A quick episode about some recent SermonAudio app updates.

A Christian singer told unbelievers not to listen or come to his shows. In this episode, we ask: is Christianity about closing the door, or opening it to the lost?

Returning from Salem, I reflect on the competing narratives after Charlie Kirk's assassination—martyrdom, revival, condemnation, and caution. Where are we now? In a fractured moment that reminds us: all murder is evil, all life is valuable, but only Christ's death and resurrection redeem.

Exploring Jesusland, a new book uncovering the world of Christian pop culture and its lasting impact on faith and politics.

In this episode, we examine a sermon's opening illustration that compares the Holy Spirit to Noah's dove "looking for a place to rest." Is this poetic revival language—or a hermeneutical and theological mess? We break down the biblical context, the flawed imagery, and what it subtly teaches about the Spirit and revival.

Was being spared from Vietnam really God's grace—while millions died? This episode confronts the tension between personal blessing and global suffering, and what our words say about the God we proclaim.

The sermon presents a deeply pessimistic view of contemporary Christianity, arguing that the pursuit of personal application and emotional resonance within biblical interpretation has led to a system of spiritual anarchy where individual interpretations reign supreme, rendering theological consistency and objective truth meaningless.

The sermon expresses frustration and skepticism regarding the modern church's tendency towards commercialization, exemplified by a church's fundraising campaign for a new building. The speaker critiques the misapplication of scripture, particularly Acts 11:29, and questions the prioritization of financial gain over genuine ministry and compassion for those in need. The speaker reflects on personal...

The speaker grapples with the tension between theological doctrines and the realities of human experience, particularly the persistent presence of sin despite claims of divine empowerment. Examining sermons accessed through a platform like Sermon Audio, the speaker finds frustration with messages that oversimplify decision-making and ignore the inherent limitations imposed by a depraved nature.

The sermon critically examines contemporary Christian practices, particularly the monetization of theological education through conferences and the sale of recorded sermons.

Fr. Mike Schmitz's $100 "Parables Tour" raises serious questions about the commercialization of ministry. Why is the Church charging for what Jesus gave freely? In this episode, I examine what this model says about the gospel, money, and the priorities of the modern Church.

Protestant Catholicism Many Protestants claim to reject Rome, but have rebuilt its system—only now it's performance-based, fruit-obsessed, and self-policed. This episode exposes how evangelicalism has traded the pope for personal authority, and the sacraments for spiritual effort—while losing the Gospel in the

We discuss the first Homily of Pope Leo XIV CORRECTION: In the episode, I state that Pope Leo XIV quotes directly from Gaudium et Spes 22. Upon closer examination, he actually paraphrases its ideas without quoting it directly. The quotation I read is from the source document itself, not the homily. The theological themes are clearly referenced, but the words are not the Pope's. I apologize for the...
