Fresh Ground Theology is dedicated to presenting newly developed theology or old theology from a fresh perspective from a conservative Christian framework. I strive to evaluate any theological views by the intended meaning of the Scriptures in order to arrive at orthodox theology. The topics covered in the podcast cover a wide range of subjects from Biblical Theology, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology and Historical Theology.
