Doug Wilson is often disparaged on tonal grounds. I am not the tone-police. Instead, I have prayerfully chosen to address three concerning doctrinal issues in Doug’s theology which I feel are significant enough to warrant some heavy pushback. This is just something initiatory in view of producing more content along these lines.  

Restless does this reaction just for free for you all and probably because many of the conservative YRR types listen to as much or more of the Daily Wire than Matt does. Here is the clip from the Ben Shapiro Sunday Special.

It is not uncommon that professing Christians live estranged from local churches. They confess Christ and love for him, yet they do not submit themselves to a local church. Why is this? How could someone claim to love Christ while consciously and intentionally refusing to love the Bride of Christ? This series is meant to...

Scott and Gage unpack Ligonier’s State of Theology 2022 survey. 

Some meditations on Galatians 5:4. This is a text we will be walking through during our Wednesday night Bible study.

This is the Seasons Finale of this year’s Restless Summer. We hang out with a friend of the show is who now a PCA church planter. There are surprises, personal revelations and a give away all along the way.  As we ask can confessionally reformed people be about church planting?

The brothers talk about sanctification and how God’s work in us should drive us to good works.

Eric is back with Blake and Justin! The trio are joined by Joe Thorn of the Doctrine & Devotion Podcast. The guys drink Bulleit Bourbon and discuss Baptist ecclesiology, the SBC, and confessionalism. So pour a bourbon, kick back, light a cigar, and enjoy the conversation!

Sean and Dan discuss the third commandment.

I think we all long to truly rest, but do we know how? Do we know how to use the Lord’s Day to maximize our comfort and rest in Christ? Perhaps many of our societal problems would be diminished if Christians knew how to truly rest, how to draw more comfort from the Lord’s Day....

Here, I attempt not to criticize theonomy as a position, nor criticize my theonomic friends. Rather, I try to point out how some who hold the position may inadvertently run the risk of advertising what amounts to a conservative version of the social gospel.

With the Greek language comes the concepts it was historically used to convey. The Apostle Paul, while no Aristotelian philosopher, certainly assumed an Aristotelian philosophy of being as all educated persons largely did in the 1st century.

Here I briefly describe natural law, positive law, and theonomy. In light of the distinction I make between natural and positive laws, I note some issues with theonomic reconstruction.

We get back to our series on 2 Peter’s supplements for 2022. You can find the first two episode in this series here and here. This is our second take at this with the first one sadly being lost forever. This is also Pastor Michael’s flu game episode. This week we discuss the call to...

Growing up Mennonite, I was a bit nervous as a kid about the potential of ending up in court and needing to swear an oath on the Bible. What would I do? Mennonites don’t take oaths. Or do they? Tune in to think through the topic of Christians swearing lawful oaths. If you’re an Anabaptist...

Mistakes were made. Our regularly scheduled episode for this week went to be with all the lost internet things.  So instead you get to hear us react to modern Mark Driscoll Sermon clips from his 2021 best rants youtube video. All we can say is we hope you enjoy. Check back in next week for...

The brothers switch it up and talk about conversion. What is it? Who does it? How is it related to 2 Kings 6:1-7
