Theology Central

A deep investigation into the meaning of Genesis 4:26—its Hebrew, its history, its interpretations, and why so much theology has been built on a disputed reading.

I consider some feedback I have received about the series

I finally bring the review to a painful conclusion

We continue our review of a sermon from 2819 Church

What did Jesus actually mean when He called His people "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world"? In this standalone episode of The 2819 Project, we step outside the sermon review to explore these phrases in their original context

Crowds are lining up for hours outside 2819 Church in Atlanta. Social media calls it revival. Others call it hype. In this episode, we begin an investigation into what's really happening inside this rapidly growing movement.

A careful review of a sermon on 2 Peter 1:3-8

A point-by-point review of a sermon's claims about Bible translations, exposing false accusations and clarifying what the evidence really shows.

A look at something said about 2 Peter 1:4

Jesus replaces the priesthood. The outsider becomes the true worshiper. Luke 17:19 is the climax where Christ declares wholeness the temple could never give.

We take a look at the 2025 Spotify Wrapped for the Theology Podcast

In this episode we explore the explosive center of Luke 17:11–19. Only one leper turns back—and he's a Samaritan.

Genesis 48 contains not just one reversal, but two. Jacob blesses the younger over the older — and, surprisingly, Jacob sees God's purposes more clearly than Joseph does. This episode explores the double reversal behind Hebrews 11:21.

A three-minute devotional on Hebrews 11:21 raises an important question: can we interpret this verse without going back to Genesis 48? In this episode, we explore why the New Testament reference hinges entirely on its Old Testament context and how Hebrews extracts the faith-moment from the larger narrative.

A late night discussion

What happens when an AI won't agree with your interpretation of Scripture? In this dramatic retelling, I walk through a late-night study session where the AI pushed back, argued, and refused to move on 1 Corinthians 11. This is the story of that debate—and what it reveals about hermeneutics, truth, and the future of Bible study.

ChatGPT now reaches 800 million weekly users—and the church is completely unprepared for what that means. In this episode, we examine how AI is reshaping authority, interpretation, discipleship, and the future of Christianity itself. Seven unavoidable consequences the church must face—now.

What happens when an AI refuses to agree with you about the Bible? In this unexpected episode, I share how a discussion on 1 Corinthians 11 turned into a real hermeneutical debate—because the AI pushed back instead of echoing my interpretation.

We begin our exegetical study of Luke 17:11-19. In this episode we look at Luke 17:11-14

Psalm 80:5 speaks of a nation fed with the "bread of tears." In this episode, we explore why these tears were covenant judgment for Israel — and why this does not apply to modern nations or to Christians. If God punished believers this way, it would deny the cross itself. Instead, Psalm 80 points us to Christ, who drank the cup of judgment so we would never have to.
