The Kuyperian Commentary Podcast

When I was in the heights of ignorance somewhere in my glorious teens, a radio show emerged on my station on a snowy evening in Altoona, PA. "Renewing Your Mind" with R.C. Sproul dramatically shaped my theological pursuits. I wasn’t fully on board with the fanatic Pittsburg Steelers fan by the name of Robert Charles Sproul, but I knew he was on to something. My joy was made complete during my semi...

In our 100th episode, we spoke with the founder of the Center for Cultural Leadership, P. Andrew Sandlin. Sandlin is editor and contributor to a new work that challenges head-on the many failures of the evangelical church during the COVID season. I truly believe that these essays will be a tremendous source of wisdom and insight in the days to come. I was honored to contribute a chapter to it and...

In this episode, we cover some basic principles of preaching and teaching. Should there be a distinction between Bible Teaching and Catechetical instruction? If so, are there ways to communicate differently in certain scenarios? This is an instructive episode for those who teach and preach in the Church.

Welcome to Kuyperian Commentary, this is episode 98. I am host Uri Brito. The Rev. Dr. Gregg Strawbridge died a couple of weeks ago. Those of us who knew him well have mourned profusely these last 14 days. We have lost a friend, a mentor, and a titan of the Christian faith. His presence in the CREC was palpable every time we met. He was kind, gracious, studious, a Presbyterian of high caliber, a c...

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Owen Strachan about his latest book, "Christianity and Wokeness: How the Social Justice Movement Is Hijacking the Gospel - and the Way to Stop It." There are some good books dealing with the insidious doctrines of Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and Wokeness, but I have found Owen Strachan's work the most helpful at a more popular level. It is well-resea...

This is an issue I care deeply about in our oversexualized age. Children are being exposed earlier and earlier to sex through various technological means and they are exploring their sexuality through initiatory rituals as early as 13 years of age. While these exposures and practices deaden the soul and endanger the maturation of the mind, there is still a far deeper monster out there called sexua...

Dr. Glenn Sunshine is the author of “Slaying Leviathan: Limited Government and Resistance in the Christian Tradition.” We discuss the early church biblical rationale for limited government as well as converse briefly about what role the Old Testament plays in framing the argument. We jump into some historical cases in Calvin’s Geneva and Kuyperian sphere sovereignty. This fruitful conversation sho...

In this interview, we discuss the Genevan Psalter. Dr. Koyzis notes that, “The Genevan Psalter was a project that began in the late 1530s as part of an effort to make available to the newly reformed congregations a way to sing the biblical Psalms, initially in Strasbourg and later in Geneva. How were they to be sung? Up to that point the western church had chanted the psalms in Latin according to...

Dr. Messer and I discuss our writing habits and share some personal thoughts on how writing has shaped us. We conclude our discussion on the importance of courage in writing.

I sit down via zoom with newly minted, Dr. Dustin Messer to discuss his dissertation on Micro-Christendoms. We discuss the role of local communities as a means to shaping the kingdom in more effective ways than our typical disposition towards D.C. politics, or the “outer ring,” as Dustin notes. This is a fruitful discussion and also a bold call to local faithfulness.

In this episode, I speak with Pastor Grant Castleberry, the Senior Pastor of Capital Community Church in Raleigh, NC, about the role of pastoral theology in this present age. Grant offers some sober thoughts on movements and coalitions drawing our attention to the importance of courage in a time of compromise.

On this interview at Kuyperian Commentary, we discuss the latest work from American Vision: Against All Opposition: Defending the Christian World View by the late Greg Bahnsen. We talk a bit about the labor of presuppositional apologetics and the renewed interest in defending the faith. Gary was a close friend of Greg’s which makes the discussion more intimate and productive.

There are songs written for the church everyday. Entire industries rally around famous Christian artists who produce albums and songs for churches. What do they have in common? They do not endure. They are not generational in nature. On the other hand, the Psalter endures not only because they are God’s songs, but because they are intrinsically generational. We, at Kuyperian, wish to support great...
