The Doxology Podcast

This is no ordinary episode. It is special. Starting next Friday (May 29, 2020) we will be releasing two episodes a week. We will still have our normal Tuesday episode each week, but Fridays will be dedicated to a new segment called "Christians of History." Every Friday we will explore one Christian from church history. We will explore their conversion, life experiences, fun facts, theological sig...

“He became man that we might become God.” Is this a pagan idea or a Christian one? The guys explore the ancient doctrine of theosis and discuss the meaning, history, and relevance of this oft-overlooked way of describing salvation.   Lukas's Theosis paper:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sYZLbSA5KhcINBUsJ2qMklDIOYMxzEM2/view?usp=sharing   Do you want to follow us?

In what can only be described as an episode of biblical proportions, Jens explains the Reformed “doctrines of grace” (better known by the acronym TULIP). What are these doctrines and what do they mean for salvation? Lukas responds by explaining why Jens is wrong. Brotherly discourse ensues for far longer than planned. You might want to break this one up and listen in sections, folks. Do you want t...

Lukas and Jens alienate their American audience by calling into question everything from the Pledge of Allegiance to flags in churches. How should Christians look at worldly authorities? What does the Bible have to say about governments? The guys dive into a deeply complex topic and try and provide some biblical frameworks for thinking through these sorts of questions.

What makes worship music good? Jens and Lukas have a conversation about what goes into worship music and how we can think theologically about the musical parts of our worship services. Hopefully, at the end they figure out the difference between edifying musical worship and just offering strange fire to a reckless God!

What are creeds and confessions, and how can they help us articulate our faith? Does belief in a creed mean that Scripture isn’t your authority? The guys try and answer these and other questions by looking at different ways church tradition helps protect Biblical teaching and practice.   Find us on: Email:  doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

Jens and Lukas talk about the timely, and often lost art, of lament. How does the church respond to suffering, pain, and sorrow? What can we say when we are faced with the realities of a sinful world? Taking their cue from the rich tradition of lament found in Scripture, the guys explore lament as a theological response to suffering.

On today's episode, the guys get into an interesting - and heavy - topic, and have their first real disagreement on air! Can you “lose your salvation”? Can you fall away from the faith?
