Society of Reformed Podcasters

We run through a tweet thread by Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile, suggested by a listener. He has been taking criticism for comments from a conference regarding using a female for pastors. Well He did not appreciate it. 

The guys recorded this week’s episode in person once again. They’re introducing the doctrine of the Church, or the study of Ecclesiology, while focusing in a bit on the differences between Presbyterian and Congregationalist church polity. They sip Glendronach 12 year while discussing these important topics, and ultimately, reflecting on the importance of gathering together...

There’s a lot of talk these days about what complementarianism is and isn’t. What does the Bible mean when it says–when God says–the husband is the head of the home and the wife is to submit to her husband? Is it as bad as the egalitarian’s like to paint it? In this episode, Anthony and...

Restless discusses an article where TGC’s own Trevin Wax takes aim at “gotcha sermon clips” aka the Woke Preacher Clips guy. Is he right? Are sharing these online bad for the church? Or is this take bad for the church. All this and more in today’s celebration of a 100k downloads for the show. Also...

In this episode, we discuss with Dr. James Dolezal divine providence and concepts surrounding it including the so-called “problem of evil”.

Well this is unexpected we just broke the 100k podcast download ceiling so to celebrate next week we are going daily again. We know the hits and we will keep them coming. 

On this episode, the Brothers talk about how a robust doctrine of the Trinity is beneficial to our practical piety. Although a simple confession is just fine, it is a sign of growing maturity to be able to go deeper. The Trinity is a mysterious topic. It’s okay if you don’t understand it all. A...

When we sin, maybe sin big, we feel like we need to make it up to God and others. We carry the weight of needing to pay off a debt we can’t pay. The message of the gospel is that Jesus paid our sin debt in full to free us from the weight of the...

How are we to understand an eternal covenant of redemption in God in light of a single essence in three relations—Father, Son, and Spirit? In other words, if there is but a single will of God (will is a property of essence, not person), how are we to understand the Father sending the Son, the...

Landon Jones, a particular baptist and listener, joins us to tell us 5 things about reformed baptist polity. We really are great at this show but probably are not the best people to tell you what you need to know about this topic.  Given CT described Mars Hill as having the popular governance of reformed...

A. The Scriptures manifest themselves to be the Word of God, by their majesty and purity; by the consent of all the parts, and the scope of the whole, which is to give all glory to God; by their light and power to convince and convert sinners, to comfort and build up believers unto salvation:...

Today’s STT SPECIAL is a sermon titled “The Tenth (Part 1): Overcoming Sinful Thoughts & Desires by Grace.” It was preached by Rev. Jonathan Shirk at Jerusalem Church in Manheim, PA. Are you discouraged about the sinful desires and cravings deep within your heart? Are you wondering how you will ever overcome them? Today’s message...

Did you you know that not every church is a true church? Did you know there’s a way to distinguish between a true church and a false church? Every true church has several distinguishing features. This is important for us to know because it helps us identify false churches and serves as a standard for...

After a looooong time away, Andrew and Caleb dive back into The Wonderful Works of God, looking at the Being of God. Can God be known by man? What does it mean that God is immanent and transcendent? What kind of language does God uses to reveal himself to man? What happens when immanence or...

We’re starting a new series to run alongside our extended exploration of the various loci of Systematic Theology. 1-2 times per month, we’re going to read through a passage in the book of Romans and reflect upon the Word of God together. We hope you enjoy our first deep dive into this theologically rich book...

Whether suffering in the midst of a bitter season in life, to “weeping bitterly,” to the sinful poison of bitterness, the Lord can help and heal.

In this episode, Daniel discusses Ecclesiastes 12 and what a biblical philosophy really is.

The brothers backtrack just a little bit to cover an important, but often overlooked, distinction in Theology Proper.

“I would never do that!” Have you ever said or thought this when people hurt you in some way? The thought that we are above certain sins seems to suggest a certain self-righteousness and naivete. Apart from God’s grace, we are all capable of unspeakable evil. The doctrine of original sin is humbling and pushes...

Westminster, Particular Baptist, and General Baptist Christians universally affirmed what is not termed “hyper-simplicity” in the 17th century as is further demonstrated by the General Baptist publication, ‘An Orthodox Creed’ in 1678/79.

We have returned to reviewing the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill with the next Episode- State of Emergency. If you are with Christianity Today we would like you to remember what we are doing is the definition of fair use. If you are our listener we would like you to remember ecclesiology matters.

We are finally back with another episode! We do a quick update of what we’ve been up to, then we bring on our guests Joseph and Sarah Marquez. They share their experience as being Calvinist in a church that rejects the doctrines of grace. There are so many believers around the world that share the...

Caleb and Andrew wrap up their discussion of the Mosaic Covenant by looking at an issue closely related to the republication debate–the law/gospel distinction. How has Reformed theology historically understood this distinction? What are the three uses of the law, and how do they help us understand these issues? Plus, some final notes on republication...

This week the guys are joined once again by Dr. Kim Riddlebarger to discuss Reformed Paedobaptism. They sip Balvenie Single Barrel 15 year and dive into the Presbyterian distinctives.
