Theology Unplugged

This is a special episode of Theology Unplugged. Carrie Hunter delivered a lecture on God and Art at Credo House in Oct 2015. This is the audio from that lecture

How are we to contend with personal sin in our own lives? How do we lovingly address it in the lives of others, both believers and non-believers alike? Listen in as Michael, Sam, Tim and Carrie discuss this important issue.

How do we approach the subject of personal sin in respects to Evangelism? Should we tell people that all sins are equal? Do we actually find grounds for this in Scripture? Listen in and see what Michael, Tim, Sam and Carrie have to say!

Imputed sin is one of the most misunderstood types of sin. We all know what our personal sin is. But what's imputed sin? Do I need to worry about it?

What's the difference between imputed sin, inherited sin, and personal sin? Listen to the Theology Unplugged team dissect the differences.

How do we interpret passages of Scripture where the author seems to wish ill-will upon his adversaries. Aren't we supposed to love our enemies? Join us for part one of this two part discussion.

Death is a powerful motivator. Our mortality causes us to ask questions of ultimate purpose and meaning. Pascal and the apostles use death and judgment as a powerful double punch apologetic for taking questions about God seriously.

Is scripture inspired and inerrant as Dr. Bowman contends or merely inspired as Kyle Roberts argues? Dr. Bowman addresses Roberts' first critique.

Good Will Hunting is arguably one of the greatest films ever. Will Hunting is a prodigy. What if Will Hunting had become a Christian? Enter Blaise Pascal.

Those who affirm the basic elements of Christianity are inconsistent if they don't also accept the inerrancy of Scripture. Let's look at seven argument why.

Selling fetal body parts seems pretty abhorrent. But is it? Before we discuss business ethics we have to establish the morality or immorality of abortion itself.

What does the Bible have to say about race? Does Christianity have a viable position to hold and even push forward in the marketplace of ideas? We think so. Listen to the crew discuss their perspective about what needs to happen for healing to take place.

What is human sexuality all about? What is gender? Is it different than sex? Is there a difference between the sex someone identifies with an the sex they're born as?

All Christians are called to minister. Some feel called to formal ministry. But there's a risk that because ministers are looked up to we may imagine we're being called when in fact we're not.

Does someone need a formal, seminary type education before they can be in ministry? Michael Patton, Sam Storms, and Carrie Hunter try to asnwer this question.

Can we evaluate our standing before God based on how good we behave? Is a Christian "better" because they follow certain patterns of behavior?

What is sanctification? What about holiness? How close to perfection can a Christian expect to get this side of eternity? Is this topic talked about enough in the church?

Jesus has been lost as the center of what church is all about. We've lost our first love and begun focusing on other issues.

The unholy trinity of consumerism, individualism, and materialism. The idea of delayed gratification has been lost. Choice and impulse is king and must be indulged.

The functional authority of scripture has been lost. Most churches formally recognize the authority of scripture but sometimes this is merely a token acknowledgment.

Legalism is sometimes thought of as the idea that you must add works to grace in order to be saved. Jesus told the Pharasees "you blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!"

What do you need to believe to be saved? Do you need to be a Calvinist? Do you need to be a six 24-hour day creationist? What are the essentials?

Can Christians be too certain about their beliefs? Are Christians prone to overstate their convictions in the name of being faithful? Aren't Christians supposed to be resilient to doubt?

How should we understand and apply Hebrews 13 as it relates to those in authority over us in the local church?
