The Doxology Podcast

"Oh my God," someone cries out on the school playground. "Don't say that, you have to say, 'oh my gosh' instead." Is this what it means to take the name of the Lord in vain? Does it mean more? Jens and Lukas explore the third commandment to understand what is truly at stake here.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

On this episode, Lukas drives solo. Here he discusses Gregory of Nazianzus's "The First Theological Oration" (Oration 27).   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

Inspired by last week's episode that mentioned speaking in tongues, the guys decided to jump head first into this interesting topic. What is the deal with speaking in tongues.? Is it legit? Should all Christians be able to do this? Let us know what you think.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

"Love is patient, Love is kind..." 1 Corinthians 13 might be the most over-quoted, yet most misunderstood passage in the New Testament (don't quote us on that one). Is it simply about marital love? Or is it about something more profound? Tune in to hear our hot takes.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

Lukas and Jens both have tattoos. The Bible contains a passage that says, "You are not to make gashes on your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves." So are they living in sin? Can Christians get tattoos? Should they, if they can?    Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

The guys were not able to record a new episode this week, as they were both out of town. Enjoy this throwback conversation about the authorship of the letter to the Hebrews. Who do you think wrote this magnificent letter?   Find us on Twitter and Instagram: @doxologypodcast Email us: doxologypodcast@gmail.com

On this episode, the guys discuss a book they both recently read: "The Whole Christ," by Sinclair Ferguson. In this book he discusses legalism, antinomianism, and gospel assurance against the backdrop of the Marrow Controversy (which perhaps warrants its own episode). Tune in for a great conversation on an important topic.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast In...

In preparation for this episode, the guys read two different sermons (they can be read here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12tPs9OXBiRKjAeEts4Wf2jJRf0DrJsn2?usp=sharing). Machen and Fosdick had quite a bit to say about their modern theological world. Where do their worlds intersect with modern thought? What can we learn from these sermons? It cantankerousness really worse than heterodoxy?...

Today's episode was recommended by a listener named Hayden. After hearing our episode on the Nephilim, Hayden reached out asking if we had ever heard about a peculiar passage of 2 Samuel that seems to suggest someone other than David killed Goliath. We were both stumped. We had never recalled seeing this passage. Thus, a new episode was born. Thanks, Hayden.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gm...

The guys were yet again unable to get a fresh episode recorded (we promise to have something new for you next week).   In the meantime, enjoy this episode from two years ago about Apostasy and the idea of falling away. This was the first time that the guys had a disagreement "on air." So what do you think, can you fall away?

The guys were unable to record a new episode this week. They are throwing it back to when they discussed Christ's Descent to the Dead. This is an appropriate re-upload, given that we just celebrated Holy Week. Enjoy.

On this gigantic-sized episode (it is actually pretty normal-sized), the guys chat about the Nephilim. Who were they? What were they? Can we know for certain one way or another? Don't miss this newest iteration of the "weird Bible passages" segment.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

On today's episode the guys discuss an article Lukas read in school. It was an excerpt from Karl Barth's Dogmatics. In this piece he discusses the Judge that was judged in our place. To quote Barth: "But now we have to face the question in all seriousness: Why did He come amongst us, why did He enter our situation, as our brother? What is it that takes place when the Son of God becomes flesh of ou...

On today's episode, Jens and Lukas discuss Russell Moore's recent article (linked below). This is a heavy and sensitive topic, and one that ought to be taken very seriously. https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/march-web-only/russell-moore-divorce-marriage-domestic-violence-abuse.html  

Lukas is running the show today. On this episode he takes the time to ponder the question, "what makes the Gospel relevant?"   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

On this episode the guys take some time to discuss another strange biblical text: Joshua 10:9-15. In this story, we see Israel at war. Joshua tells the sun and moon to stand still and they obey. What's the deal with that? What is the Book of Jashar? Perhaps no one knows...   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

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 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 involved? Maybe.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail...

The guys were unable to record a new episode this week. Instead, the celebration of their two year anniversary continues by taking a look at one of their favorite episodes from the past two years. Originally released in May of 2020, this episode explores the ancient doctrine of theosis. What does it mean that "He became man that we might become God"? Tune in for a great conversation!   Find us on...

On today's episode the guys revisit the topic of deconstruction. Is it a helpful term? Can deconstruction be beneficial? What would Jesus deconstruct, if anything? This is certainly a sensitive topic, and one that should be approached charitably with grace and love. We hope to have done so here.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

On their 200th episode the guys discuss a prompt that Lukas came up with. To what extent can those who practice believers' baptism consider their children to be Christians? What does Ephesians 6 have to say? Remember, Lukas is an Anglican and Jens is a Baptist. A great conversation ensues.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

Inspired by a recent tweet that Lukas shared, the guys explore the transcendent nature of music. How is it that a song can "transport" us back to a moment in time? How can we remember lyrics to a song we haven't heard in years? What is the whole point of music anyways? Here, the guys tackle the true nature and purpose of music.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodca...

On this episode the guys discuss a few of their favorite Church Fathers, while also highlighting why they're worth studying. Perhaps you've had an interest in studying this era of Church history, but did not know where to begin. Well, look no further.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

The guys dive into a strange text today: Hebrews 13:2. What's the deal with entertaining angels unawares? What in the world does that even mean? What could we possibly learn from such a strange sounding passage? Tune in to find out.   Find us on Twitter / Instagram / Gmail @doxologypodcast
