w/ Jamie Sinclair.
We live in an age of information overload, so why another podcast? In the midst of the noise, let’s slow down to think well and honor the Lord. If you join in with this podcast, get ready to roll up your sleeves and do some hard thinking!
In this follow-up episode, I reflect on the prior conversation with Seth and clarify major theological problems with Roman Catholic teaching and practice. My focus is on purgatory (I touch on baptismal regeneration), unique/special/salvific sacramental grace, and Eucharistic adoration. I argue that these doctrines obscure the biblical gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
This episode features a deep dive into Roman Catholic beliefs and practices with Seth Conklin. From doctrines such as the Eucharist (Transubstantiation and the "Fourth Cup") to the veneration of Mary and praying to the dead, we cover a lot!
On the tail-end of our last discussion, my friend (and brother-in-law!) Ben Hull gave some pushback on my take on Charlie Kirk’s comments I addressed in Episode 39. If you enjoy a good argument that gets pretty into the weeds, then give it a listen!

Back with my friends Andrew, Ben, and Josh to discuss random stuff we simply want to talk about. (Well, most of us want to talk about 😂)

A conversation with friend-of-the-pod, Ethan Hackett. The conversation covers a lot of ground. As a starting point, we used a film released in 2021, Don’t Look Up (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/).
A brief exhortation from Hebrews 12 and John 17.
