Episodes

Justification & Sanctification: Grace Did, Grace Does 31.07.2025

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into two of the most essential truths of the Christian life: justification and sanctification. These aren't just theological buzzwords—they’re the foundation for understanding who we are in Christ, how we grow, and why grace is everything. We’ll talk about what it means to be justified; to be fully and finally declared righteous by God because of Jesus’ wor...

New (or Old) Christian… Now What? 24.07.2025

In this week’s episode, we’re talking to anyone who’s recently put their faith in Jesus—or maybe someone who’s been a Christian for a while but feels stuck or unsure of what’s next. The question is simple, but huge: I’m saved… now what? It’s easy to get caught up in the emotion of the moment and the zeal that often comes with new faith—but when that fades, you’re left wondering: What does genuine...

Are All Sins The Same? 17.07.2025

In this week’s episode, we’re tackling a classic but often misunderstood question: Are all sins the same? It’s a question that stirs debate, conviction, and sometimes confusion, especially when trying to understand how God views sin versus how sin affects others around us. We’ll dig into two angles: horizontally—how sin impacts our relationships with other people—and vertically—how every sin, no m...

Is Faith Alone Under Fire? (James 2) 10.07.2025

In this week’s episode, we’re wrestling with a tough but vital question: Is faith alone under fire? James 2 has long been a battleground text in the debate over justification, especially when James says that a person is “justified by works and not by faith alone.” That sounds like a direct challenge to sola fide, the Reformation conviction that we are saved by faith in Christ alone. So what do we...

What Do We Do With Rome? (Sacraments and Veneration) 03.07.2025

In this week’s episode, we’re tackling a crucial question: What do we do with Rome, especially when it comes to tradition? From the veneration of Mary to the role of the sacraments, the Catholic Church has long upheld practices that go beyond what Scripture clearly teaches. But how did these traditions develop? And why did the Reformers push back so strongly? We’ll explore where Scripture and trad...

What Do We Do With Rome? (Salvation) 26.06.2025

In this week’s episode, we’re asking a big question: what do we do with Rome—especially when it comes to salvation? The Reformers didn’t just disagree with the Catholic Church’s authority, they wrestled with how people are made right with God. Is it faith alone? Grace alone? Christ alone? Or is salvation mediated through the Church? As we trace the roots of the Reformation, we’ll explore why this...

Who is Our Authority? The Protestant/Catholic Divide 19.06.2025

In this week’s episode, we explore the roots of the Protestant Reformation and how it challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. At the heart of the divide was a simple but vital question: where does final authority lie—Scripture or the Church? As we dig into the tension between tradition and truth, leadership and the Word, we’ll see that our view of authority shapes everything—how we read t...

Gospel Distractions: Liberalism & Modernism 12.06.2025

In this week’s episode, we explore how liberalism and modernism can distract and pull the church off course. When the Gospel is reshaped to fit modern tastes or cultural trends, it loses its edge and its power. The focus shifts from Christ to self, from grace to progress, from truth to whatever feels right. In a world chasing relevance, we’re called to hold fast to the unchanging truth of the Gosp...

Gospel Distractions: Christian Nationalism & Theonomy 05.06.2025

In this week’s episode, we explore how Christian Nationalism and Theonomy can distract from the Gospel. When the church chases political power or seeks to impose biblical law on society, the message of Christ crucified can be lost. Instead of pointing to Jesus, these movements often shift the focus to nation, law, or control. This episode calls us back to the simplicity of the Gospel, rooted in gr...

Gospel Distractions: Hyper-Evangelicalism & The Americanized Church 29.05.2025

In this week’s episode, we look at how hyper-evangelicalism and American church culture can distract us from the Gospel. When faith turns into performance, platforms, and spiritual hustle, we lose sight of Jesus’ call to rest, humility, and dependence. This episode invites you to trade the grind for grace—and rediscover the simplicity of resting in Christ. Thanks for tuning in! Follow Three Thirty...

Gospel Distractions: Legalism 22.05.2025

In this week’s episode, we kick off a new series on Gospel distractions—starting with legalism. We’ll explore how legalism pulls us away from the freedom Christ offers and distracts us from finding the rest we talked about last week. At the heart of this episode is the invitation to lay down the burden of earning and embrace the peace that comes from our secure position in Him. Our hope is to make...

Finding Rest in the Person of Christ 15.05.2025

In this week’s episode, we explore what it means to truly rest in Christ. We talk about how rest isn’t just physical, but deeply spiritual—rooted in the finished work of Jesus. At the heart of it all is the invitation to lay down striving and find peace in Him. Our hope is to make the beauty of this rest unmistakably clear. Thanks for tuning in!

Why ‘He Must Increase’ 08.05.2025

Welcome to the very first episode of He Must Increase! In this kickoff episode, we introduce ourselves, share the heart behind starting this podcast, and unpack the meaning behind the name. At the core of it all is the gospel—the good news of Jesus Christ—and we want to make that unmistakably clear from the beginning. Thanks for tuning in!
