In this episode, we talk about why learning to study the Bible faithfully is not optional for the Christian. Scripture is not only a gift, but it is also a command. We are called to read God’s Word and to rightly handle the Word of Truth , carefully distinguishing truth from error. This means we are not only guarding against false teaching from the outside, but also guarding our own hearts and min...

In this episode, we define discipline biblically and practically. Christian discipline is not about perfectionism or self-improvement. It is about ordered obedience, self-control, and steady faithfulness over time. We outline the core spiritual disciplines taught in Scripture: prayer and Bible reading, meditation and memorization, corporate, family, and personal worship, fasting, stewardship, evan...

Did you grow up learning about Bible stories through Sunday school felt boards while holding your storybook picture Bible? Does your grandmother have a picture of blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus hanging in her home? Have you watched Mel Gibson's The Passion or Dallas Jenkins' The Chosen and felt as if it helped you to better connect with Jesus' humanity? In this episode, we dive deep into the scope...

Six weeks ago we experienced our third miscarriage. Losing a child, at any stage, is a profound tragedy, yet Christians alone have a hope and a comfort that the world cannot offer. Scripture tells us suffering is guaranteed in this broken world, but we are often unprepared when it comes. Much of the unnecessary despair comes from misunderstanding the curse that rests on creation and from forgettin...

In this second installment on the often-ignored topic of Christian headcovering, we move beyond the biblical mandate to examine how Church History consistently affirmed the practice and how the feminist movement worked strategically to dismantle it. For nearly two millennia, headcovering was universally practiced by faithful women across Christian denominations nearly without exception. But by the...

In this first part of a two-part series, we take a deep dive into 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 to explore what Scripture actually says about headcovering. Is headcovering a cultural relic, a command for today, or an optional Christian liberty? Just the mention of headcovering for Christian women can stir up confusion, discomfort, or outright dismissal. What was once a universal symbol of biblical womanho...

Empathy is often exalted as the chief virtue in our present age—but has our pursuit of emotional validation clouded our discernment of God’s unchanging truth? In this episode of the Reformed Faith and Family Podcast , we delve into the rise of empathy in modern thinking and weigh it against the eternal virtues upheld in Scripture—compassion, mercy, and truth. Though empathy may reflect a heartfelt...

Listen in on this conversation as Caleb and Lindsey discuss the Bible's teachings concerning how Christians ought to relate to governing authorities and the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. This episode, Part 8 on God&#3...

One of the great rallying cries of the Protestant Reformation was “Scripture Alone,” or if you prefer the Latin, “Sola Scriptura.” The chief opponent for the trust of men at the time wasn’t public institutions, academics and scientists, or even directly the state. They fought against the tyranny of Roman Catholicism which claimed ultimate authority to declare truth and speak for God. In the Reform...

In Part 3 of the Spiritual Disciplines series, Caleb and Lindsey discuss the need for Christians to practice evangelism and service as a lifestyle.

How much do you know about Martin Luther? Martin Luther is a monk turned Protestant Reformer. His nailing the 95 Theses to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517 is considered to be the spark that lit the Protestant Reformation. Now, Martin never intended to cause a schism in the church, but God used Luther to reveal the cancerous corruption that had grown in the Roman C...
