The Doxology Podcast

---Originally Uploaded on April 28, 2020---   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. In the end, are we just offering strange fire to a reckless God, or are we truly worshipping our risen Savior?   Find us on twitter and instagram: @doxologypodcast Ema...

Many moons ago, Lukas proposed that we talk about whether or not denominations are good. The time has finally come for us to give the question some consideration. Is there still benefit to denominational affiliation for individuals and churches, or is it time to move on to a post-denominational faith?   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodc...

---Originally Uploaded January 12, 2021---   Today we revisit Chapter 2 of Jonah. Jonah finds himself in the belly of the great fish, at the brink of death. The depths of Sheol itself are plumbed, as Jonah descends further and further from the Lord.

Given the recent events surrounding the Asbury Revival, the guys sit down to discuss their thoughts on the idea of revival. Is it good? Is it bad? How can we know if something is genuine or manufactured? Why should we care?   Find us on Twitter and Instagram: @DoxologyPodcast Email us at DoxologyPodcast@gmail.com

---Originally Uploaded on January 5, 2021---   Jens and Lukas are busy. They hate being unable to record fresh episodes. Have no fear, though. They will be back soon. For now, they throw it back to "Jonah January." On this first of four episodes, they explore Jonah's flight from the presence of the Lord. The book of Jonah is more than a story (a parable?) about a man being swallowed by a big fish....

---Originally Uploaded May 3, 2022---   This "Best Of" episode comes courtesy of a listener named Hayden. He had questions about a peculiar passage in 2 Samuel that seemed to suggest someone other than David killed Goliath. So what's the deal... who actually killed Goliath? Tune in to find out once and for all.   Find us on twitter and instagram: @doxologypodcast Email us at doxologypodcast@gmail....

There are two mentions in Scripture of someone named Lazarus. Are they related? Do Luke and John speak of the same person? Is there even a connection, or is it simply a coincidence? On this episode, Jens and Lukas break down what they think is going on in Gospels of Luke and John. The answer may surprise you.   Find us on Twitter and Instagram: @DoxologyPodcast Email us at DoxologyPodcast@gmail.co...

---Originally Uploaded on March 30, 2021--- Every year we rightfully celebrate Christ's death and resurrection, but what took place between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday? What is the purpose and significance of Holy Saturday? What do we mean when we say that Christ Descended into Hell? This doctrine has experienced something of a renaissance in recent years. Many articles, books, and blogs h...

---Originally Uploaded on February 23, 2021---   Ars Moriendi: "the art of dying." What do we do when a bleak diagnosis comes? What should we make of that tragic news story? Whether we are the one suffering, or someone close to us, pain and sickness are always near. So, as Christians, how do we suffer well? Perhaps more importantly, how do we die well? Jens and Lukas share their thoughts and their...

This week's episode comes courtesy of a listener. Jeremy was kind enough to suggest that the guys tackle 2 Thessalonians 2:1-9, a chapter seemingly all about the man of sin (or man of lawlessness, depending on your translation). A closer look at this passage reveals some surprising results. Who is the man of sin? Who or what is the restrainer? What is the mystery of lawlessness? Tune in for a grea...

The guys recently hit some pretty significant milestones on the pod (thanks to each and every one of you). To celebrate, they discuss where they've been, what they're doing, and where they hope to go with the Doxology Podcast.

---ORIGINALLY UPLOADED: June 23, 2020---   What will actually happen at the end of time? What's the deal with the rapture? What is the mark of the beast? What does the 1,000 reign of Christ in Revelation mean? By scratching the surface of the major views on these end-times issues, Jens and Lukas hope to introduce this incredibly complex conversation, while getting a lay of the land when it comes t...

This week Jens sits down with one of his co-workers to discuss the relationship between faith and business. Jens and Kailey work for a unique company that operates within a unique industry. They break down how their faith shapes and informs what they do on a daily basis, how culture is shaped at a non-faith-based organization, and offer insight into navigating the complexities of work and business...

This week Jens shares a few of his thoughts on the Asbury Revival, a supposed movement of the Spirit at a small university in an obscure Kentucky town. What should we make of this revival? Is it genuine? How can we know?    Find us on Twitter and Instagram: @DoxologyPodcast Email: DoxologyPodcast@gmail.com

This week the guys tackle a listener suggested episode (thanks Hayden!). 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 contains some incredible claims. Paul discusses how he becomes all things to all people. To those under the law, he becomes like one under the law. To those outside the law, he becomes like one outside the law. Or does he? What does "all" mean in this passage? Tune in for a great conversation. Find us on...

We know, we know... we are a podcast. We utilize the internet to FaceTime each other every week when we record. We upload our podcast to the internet. We promote the show on Twitter and Instagram. But... hear us out. Would we be better off without the internet? What are your thoughts?   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

This week the guys talk about how much the Bible rocks. Wait. That is not quite right. They talk about rocks in the Bible. Kind of. Saint Cyprian once wrote about Christ as the Stone. The New Testament speaks of Christ as the Cornerstone. Elsewhere we read that Christ was the rock in the wilderness. What should we make of all the verses about stones and rocks? Tune in to find out.   Find us on: Em...

According to a recent survey conducted by the Edelman Trust, few would help, live, or work with the "other side." What should we make of these startling survey results? Do they reflect reality? Is a survey like this too simplistic? As Christians, in what (or whom) do we find our identity? What role does the Church play? These questions, and more, are explored this week. Find the survey here: https...

---Originally Uploaded on July 28, 2020---   Celebrities are everywhere: magazines, Twitter, movies, music... It is impossible to avoid the cult of celebrity in our constantly-connected culture. On this throwback episode, the guys explore what celebrity offers that is so appealing, as well as the dangers that preoccupation with fame can pose for the church today.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodca...

On this episode, the guys explore the nature of time from a theological perspective. What is time? How do we relate to it? Is it even real? They also explore the various means of time keeping in human history, thoughts about time from church history, and more. This is a complex topic, one that they will undoubtedly explore even further at a later time (pun intended).    Find us on: Email: doxology...
