The Doxology Podcast

The guys are here today to share an update about the podcast's future. After nearly four years of uploading content week in and week out, the guys are taking a much needed respite. The podcast is not over, however. As Ross always said, "we were on a break." Until then... trust God, cast lots. Be nice and be nicene. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

---Originally Uploaded on March 8, 2022---   What is the connection between Moses on Mt. Sinai and the Transfiguration of our Lord on the unnamed mountain in the Gospels? What about Elijah on Sinai in 1 Kings? On this reuploaded episode, the guys discuss a few important biblical texts that highlight the similarities between the giving of the Law and the Transfiguration of Jesus. Was time travel in...

This week we are tackling a topic that was submitted by a kind listener named Elliot. The original message: “As a Roman Catholic I really appreciate good Protestant perspectives on the issues, so again, thank you for doing what you guys do. To the point, since we’re out of heresy month, you guys should do an episode on ethical veganism/vegetarianism and how people justify such a system of ethics t...

---Originally Uploaded on April 27, 2021---   Where does the soul go? Do we even have souls? Purgatory, soul sleep, paradise... these are a few of the states of being that come to mind when people contemplate what lies beyond the grave. On this episode, the guys explore a few of these different views regarding the soul and the after life.   Find us on Twitter, Threads, and IG: @DoxologyPodcast Ema...

---Originally Uploaded on November 16, 2021---   Today the guys have a conversation on psychedelic drugs. Yes, you read that right. Inspired by a recent episode, Jens and Lukas share their thoughts on what they see as the true nature of psychedelic drugs.   Find us on Twitter, IG, and Threads: @DoxologyPodcast Email us at: DoxologyPodcast@gmail.com

We would first like to thank everyone for making Heresy Month 2023 a stellar month (huge shoutout to Trevin Wax!). We are back with another fresh, though less spooky, episode in which we discuss dreams. What are they? Where do they come from? How do dreams relate to theology?    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypod...

On this episode, we discuss Trevin Wax’s recently published book, The Thrill of Orthodoxy: “Rediscovering the Adventure of Christian Faith.” It was a fitting way to wrap up Heresy Month 2023.   ABOUT TREVIN: Trevin Wax is vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board and a visiting professor of theology at Cedarville University. A former missionary to Roma...

This is the final spooky episode of Heresy Month 2023. Next week we will have a far less spooky episode (hint, hint). Until then, the guys are discussing more heresy. Oneness Pentecostalism (also known as Apostolic, Jesus' Name Pentecostalism, or the Jesus Only movement) is a non-trinitarian religious movement within the Protestantism, particularly within Pentecostalism.    Find us on: Email: doxo...

Shout out to Nick on Twitter for recommending this week's episode!   This week, the guys dive head first into a heresy that you may not even realize is an actual heresy. Iconoclasm, as a heresy, is the belief that icons (and other religious symbols) are idols and they should all be destroyed. Yes, this is a condemned heresy. So, what is the deal? Tune in as the guys discuss the history of icons, i...

We are back with yet another strange and obscure theological heresy. This time, we are taking a look at the pneumatomachi, a sect that denied the divinity of the Holy Spirit. What is the deal with this fourth-century sect? How was it possible for this group to affirm the Nicene Creed? What parallels can we find in our own age? Things are about to get really spooky.   Find us on: Email: doxologypod...

Welcome back to our fourth annual Heresy Month. What could be scarier than bad theology? Nothing. On the first Heresy Month 2023 episode, the guys approach the topic of heresy from a different perspective. Instead of talking about heresy outright, they discuss how heresies can manifest themselves in semi, pseudo, and neo ways. Jens was even bold enough to claim that Semi-Pelagian theology crept it...

---ORIGINALLY UPLOADED OCTOBER 5, 2021---- Next week we will be kicking off Heresy Month 2023. To get you in the mood for some spooky theology, we are throwing it back to an episode from Heresy Month 2021 on Pelagianism.  Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys discuss how the Road to Emmaus story can inform our conversations about and surrounding deconstruction, as this story offers a unique paradigm into issues of faith and practice in our modern context.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys tackle another listener recommendation (thanks Jeremy!). Back in February, Jeremy requested that they discuss the nature of the "sin unto death" as found in 1 John. What is it? Who can commit it? Is it spiritual or physical death? Both? This is one of the most difficult passages in all of the New Testament to interpret.    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @d...

---Originally Uploaded on 9/7/2021.---   The guys chat with Gavin Ortlund about his recent work on Anselm: "Anselm's Pursuit of Joy." They discuss Anselm's Ontological Argument, his high view of friendship, and more.

Jens and Lukas recently had the privilege of sitting down with Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, the author of a recently published book entitled, "Following Jesus in a Warming World: A Christian Call to Climate Action." Kyle was previously the vice president of the Evangelical Environmental Network. Additionally, he was the national organizer and spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, and he...

A listener (thanks Hayden!) recently suggested that we revisit our list of our most influential theologians. A lot can change in 3+ years. In our minds, nobody should have an identical list in a span that long. The 10 individuals (5 for each of us) on this list are currently shaping our minds, hearts, and actions. Who would make your top 5?   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @...

This week the guys tackle another supernatural topic: The Witch of Endor. This strange Bible passage contains the story about Saul seeking wisdom from Samuel's spirit. He goes to a medium at Endor to do so. What's the deal with this peculiar account? Can this sort of thing still be replicated today? If so, should it be? There are no wizards named Harry in this far out tale.   Find us on: Email: do...

Given the recent events surrounding a certain congressional hearing, the guys discuss their take on aliens, UFOs, and the supernatural. How should Christians approach the topics? Are the claims legitimate to begin with? Tune in for an out-of-this-world episode.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast  

We all have routines and patterns. Few of us often stop to ponder the "why" behind them. We would do well to consider our days and what fills them. On this episode, the guys discuss why good rhythms matter.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast Threads: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys discuss a recent twitter thread about Roman Catholicism, justification, and intellectual ascent. The tweet posited that those who believe that works play a role in their salvation are damned. Alarm bells went off in Jens's head upon reading this. Naturally, he told Lukas they needed to do an episode. Now, here we are...   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @do...

This week the guys explore a fascinating passage in 1 Kings about the prophet Elijah and his encounter with the LORD. Fresh off of defeating the Baals, Elijah finds himself on the run from Jezebel. Why is he so afraid? What does God intend to teach Elijah? What can we learn from this passage in our modern context?   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram:...

Last week the guys talked about the Shroud of Turin. As a result, they decided to talk more about relics in general. Are they helpful? What place do they have? How should Protestant approach the subject? Their stance likely won't surprise you...   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

Stemming from a random, off-hand comment on last week's episode, this week the guys explore the Shroud of Turin. What is it? Is it authentic? Why does it matter? Does it even matter?    Find us on Twitter and Instagram: @DoxologyPodcast Email us at DoxologyPodcast@gmail.com

Recently, Jens was reading Luke's Gospel. He happened upon a familiar story about a tax collector named Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). However, something stood out this time: who is the short person in the story, Jesus or Zacchaeus? It actually is not very clear. Thus, an episode topic was born.    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast
