The Conquering Truth

Do You Understand That the Gospel Is About Authority? Not off to the side, or one of the overlooked aspects of it, but front and center, in your face, written in flaming letters and spoken with a tongue of fire: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS ABOUT AUTHORITY! Do you understand it? In this episode, we look at the ways scripture establishes Jesus Christ’s authority over all things and how this author...

Jordan Peterson, a psychologist by training and practice, has lectured about the significant influence of the Bible on Western culture since at least 2015, but in the past few years, his incorporation of a positive view of the Bible and Christianity into his brand and messaging has earned him a great deal of attention from Christians, to the point where he is viewed by some as a Christian and by o...

Work is central to Christianity. Jesus Christ came in the form of a servant to do the will of His Father. Paul called himself a bondservant. We are bought with a price to be the slaves of righteousness. Even before sin entered the world, God made man to work for him in the garden that he had prepared. This is important, because it means that work is good. Though sin may add to our sorrows and labo...

As soon as you say the phrase “conspiracy theory”, you’ve stepped into a minefield of meaning and innuendo. It helps if you understand that the phrase isn’t just used to describe the actions of shadowy groups, but is also used to cast a negative light on the people who believe in such conspiracies. And in many cases, this negative connotation is at least somewhat deserved, because many conspiracy...

We discuss whether church discipline is about more than reconciliation of the sinner, and the ways that it is a reflection of God's character.

ChatGPT and Artifical Intelligence have been all over the news lately. Should Christians be worried about what is coming next?

For a lot of people, TULIP, or the “Five Points of Calvinism”, serves as their introduction to Reformed Theology. But TULIP describes a fairly narrow set of doctrines, focused specifically on aspects of salvation, and while they are true and there is nothing wrong with knowing them or holding to them, Reformed Theology is a much broader and deeper subject. Reformed Theology is about the sovereignt...

On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank failed and was taken into receivership. While there has been a great deal of discussion about this in the news and online, much of what has been said has been has either been completely false or misleading, particularly the claim that taxpayers will not bear the cost of the bailout. In this episode, we briefly discuss bank runs and how they happen in general...

In this mega episode we discuss more than you ever wanted to know about Bible translations - the KJV, NIV, NKJV, ESV, NASB, and more. Why are they different, and why does it matter?

While the events of January 6th have been discussed and debated for two years now, in many ways, it seems as if the public is no closer to understanding what actually occurred that day. And even though Tucker Carlson was recently given access to 41,000 hours of footage, most of what he has released so far has been focused on disrupting the prevailing narrative rather than establishing a timeline o...

In February of 2023, there was a lot of discussion in Christian circles about the “Asbury Revival” at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. And while we do have some observations about what went on there, this episode is focused more specifically on what God’s word has to say about revival, what causes it, what it looks like, and what it produces. The Bible actually has a great deal to say about...

Every year, Congress invites the President to provide an address on the state of the nation. It is typically the most watched presidential speech of the year and provides an opportunity for the president to cast his vision for the country and to set an agenda for Congress to follow.  And while we wouldn’t say that everyone has a duty to take the time to watch the State of the Union, we do bel...

Every few years there's a fight in Congress over the debt ceiling. Of course, Democrats and the liberal-leaning media outlets mock the process, calling it nothing more than political theater or “holding the nation hostage”, but to be fair, there are a decent number of leading Republicans who view the process as nothing more than that, just an opportunity to get concessions or make a cheap politica...

Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper is considered a sacrament or ordinance in almost all churches that call themselves Christian. It is one of two sacred rites, the other being baptism, that is universally practiced across Christendom and can be considered a defining practice related to being a Christian. But within the American Protestant church, communion has lost much of its significance within...

Most people might be shocked that we would even think to ask the question, but then again most people don’t actually know that much about him. In this episode, we take a look at the life of Martin Luther King Jr as a professing Christian. We look at his writings and teachings, and we compare them with the teachings of scripture and we look at his life as an expression of those beliefs. We also tal...

Americans celebrate many different milestones in our lives from birthdays and anniversaries to graduations, career milestones, and other significant accomplishments. And while God commands his people to feast and celebrate his goodness, it is easy for these events to become nothing more than excuses to have a good time and gather with friends.   In this episode, we discuss the nature of our c...

Church leaders and the culture they create profoundly impact the people in their church, to the point where it is almost impossible for people to separate themselves from that influence. Like fish and the water they swim in, it is easy for church members to not think about how they live and breathe the culture of their church. And while this influence is good and useful when the church is not hidi...
