Theology on Air

What do we do about all the violence in the Old Testament? Did God command genocide? Is the Old Testament God different from the loving and forgiving God on the New Testament we see in Jesus?  Paul Copan and Scott Lackey bring two different perspectives on how Christians should read and wrestle with the conquest narratives and violence in the Bible. Then a larger panel fields audience questions du...

Cody, Ken, and Evan take a look at election fraud, AI solving all of our problems, Christians paying off medical debt, and Elon’s flying car. Learn more about Theology by the Pint at theologybythepint.org. And like and subscribe and all that good stuff, too. 

Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God? Are we on two paths that both point toward truth? What are the major theological differences between the two religions...and why does it matter? Former Muslim turned Christian, Shahriq Khan goes toe-to-toe with Ali Qazi on the shared doctrine (if any?) and distinctives between these two major worldviews. These two will share their opposing views and...

Sarah, James, Adam, and Evan take a look at a wide range of topics, including Meryl Streep being the voice of Jesus, er, Aslan in the new Narnia adaptation, the decline of both public schools and public executions, socialism as the coddling of a loser mentality, the death of the dinner party, and Tobey Maguire's really weird family dynamics. Enjoy! Like and subscribe while you're at it!

Sarah, Sarah's father Pr. Bob Garment, and Evan sit down to tackle some of the Bible's strangest stories. Why did Jesus call a woman "a dog"? Why did Elisha lay on top of a dead guy? Did Jesus really tell us never to judge? And much more! If you wanted to know more about some of the more perplexing stories in scripture, this is the episode for you.

Ken and Evan take a look at some provocative headlines. We'll go ahead and say children shouldn't listen to portions of this show. We talk, for example, about how married Christians seem to have better sex lives and the alleged indiscretions of one Candace Owens. We look at the death penalty gone wrong and debate the justice system generally. Then we look at the great news of a new steel factory i...

Christian convert Shahriq Khan joins Sarah and Evan to talk about his conversion and his ministry to Muslims. If you want to know what some of the major differences between Christianity and Islam are and how to talk to Muslims about the truth claims of Christianity, this episode is for you!

It’s just Sarah and Evan today, but don’t worry, they have plenty to say! We look at how the lone holdout jury in Lindsey Clancy’s trial is under fire, a controversial Bo French X post that seemed abjectly racist, the horrific practice or surrogacy by billionaires, and a response to the Heretic Happy Hour response to Evan’s appearance on that podcast last week defending Trump. So much to talk abou...

The most usual WPR crew of Sarah, Ken, and Evan take a look at the case everyone is talking, whether we should be on board with data centers popping up everywhere (and AI), a host of related stories about Islam (including one where James Talarico says he learned a lot from Islam), and the path to ridding our nation of witches, 96 hours at a time.

TBTP recently held an event on the Holy Spirit. Who is He? What is His role in salvation and the life of the Christian? What about the Spiritual gifts? It was a great conversation, but some of the recording was lost. SO...we thought we'd have a podcast to look at some unanswered questions and make sure our audience at least got the gist of our event. Thanks to Mace and Israel for dropping in t...

Jason, Adam, and Evan take a look at the newfound popularity of socialism and ask where it intersects with Christianity, the recent Jason Arday plagiarism incident, Candace Owens describing her fans as "we are legion," and the general unrest of the Left politically.

Well...not really. Keith Giles and Matthew Distefano - hosts of the Heretic Happy Hour podcast - join Sarah and Evan to look at what kind of talk is appropriate for Christians. That is, how can we reconcile some speech with our faith (like speech that harms LGBT folk) while advocating for other restrictions? In this fun and unusual conversation, all sides argue for what they believe they have a ri...

Cody, Ken, Sarah, and Evan take a look at another James Talarico story regarding health care as a right, an article that asks if America is a (race) communist country, Ariana Grande's disturbing new figure (and how that ties into a campaign from Planned Parenthood), whether young people are abandoning Trump, and whether Trump can be trusted...since he keeps lying about the reflecting pool.

Should America reinstate blasphemy laws? Should the state arrest and penalize citizens for speaking against the Christian God? Should the government take sides in favoring one religion over another? Or should free speech reign so supreme that pretty much anyone can say pretty much anything about anyone’s god? Law professor Johnny Buckles and Presbyterian Pastor Adam McIntosh will consider whether...

It's "just" Stephen Curto and Evan today looking at a relatively small, but related group of topics. In the end, we look at what it really means to be conservative through the lens of homeschooling, Elon Musk being called "far right," whether the Ortho Bros can really be American, or what it even means to be American! Today it's two versions of conservative getting into...

Denise Shick joins Sarah to talk about her personal journey, coming to terms with a trans father, and how to talk to the next generation about LGBT issues.

Ken, Austin, Adam, and Evan enjoy an engaging conversation about the World Cup, the recent "birthright citizenship" decision, the importance of local culture, and more. Learn more about Theology by the Pint: theologybythepint.org.

First-time guest and author JD Bauman joins Ken and Evan to take an even deeper look at the question we proposed during a live event: How rich is too rich? How much of their money should Christians give away? Are all charities of equal value? Can taxes be considered part of our charitable giving? We talk about that and much more on this episode of Theology on Air.

Sarah, Jason, Stephen, and Evan take a look at some pretty serious topics, beginning with Senate candidate James Talarico saying he is a Christian who "hates Christianity," then an article that argues that Leftism is actually unjust, and finally a long conversation about the British report on Pakistani grooming gangs. While we don't say any "naughty" words, the content for...

Our May live event took a look at the Lord's Supper. Is Christ really present? Why are Christians divided over it? What is transubstantiation? And much more!

First time WPRer Joel Davis joins Ken, Jason, and Evan take a look at the Department of War revoking Mormon chaplains, a double standard with politicians, asking whether the Declaration of Independent is Christian, and the morality of taking over Iran's oil production.

Jesus talked about money more than anything else, but still we seem confused about it. Is it ok to accumulate wealth? Does God want us to give it all away? Should Christians be rich? Poor?

Sarah, Ken, and Evan take a look at the Vatican’s new statements about AI, a disturbing MAID case coming out of Canada, an article that asks if it was worth it to spend $200 million on one soldier, and whether more people in Europe die from a lack of air conditioning than Americans do from guns. 

TBTP regular Stephen Curto stops by to take a quick look at three topics: aliens and the Bible, whether "senior pastor" is a biblical office, and the "regulative principle" of worship.

Matthew Distefano of the Heretic Happy Hour podcast joins Theology on Air for a debate/discussion on Homosexuality and God's Law. Does God's Law - especially the Old Testament - still have something to say about this issue? Does love conquer all? Does experience play a deciding role? What about Paul's teachings about scandalizing the church? We go extra long in this episode to attempt...
