  • I’ve been doing some exciting work on a project I told you about earlier in the year. I’ve taken on CHSpurgeon.com and have been building up the content of that site dedicated to edifying resources by and about the Prince of Preachers, Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

    And so I’m especially excited to announce a brand new podcast – The Spurgeon Legacy Podcast.

    While I’ll continue to create articles, videos, and podcast episodes here at Reasonable Theology, going forward you can find all things Spurgeon-related over at CHSpurgeon.com. If you enjoy Spurgeon, I encourage you to subscribe to the Spurgeon Legacy podcast on your favorite player, and I hope you enjoy this preview episode, where I’ve interviewed Alex DiPrima about his new book, Spurgeon: A Life – A Biography of the Prince of Preachers.

    In our conversation we’ll discuss why there is a need for a new biography of Spurgeon, important events and aspects of his life and ministry, why he is rightly called the Prince of Preachers, and the reason his legacy continues to this day.

    You can subscribe to the Spurgeon Legacy Podcast in your favorite podcast app and learn more at CHSpurgeon.com/Legacy

  • The Holy Spirit has been referred to as the “forgotten member of the Trinity.” At one extreme there are those who all but ignore the person and work of the Spirit and at the other extreme there are those who stray from Scripture in seeking to harness the power of the Spirit for their own purposes.

    We don’t want to commit either of these errors, but instead we desire to have a right understanding of and appreciation for the Holy Spirit.

    On this episode we’ll talk with Costi Hinn, who grew up in the extremes of the Word of Faith Movement but was saved and now serves as the Pastor as well as the founder and president of For the Gospel.

    He’s also the author of Knowing the Spirit: Who He Is, What He Does, and How He Can Transform Your Christian Life.

    We’ll discuss the common misconceptions about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, how Christians can discern whether something is of the Spirit or not, what it means to worship in Spirit and in truth, and how we are to understand practices like speaking in tongues or prophesying.

    This is a great conversation that will help you better understand and appreciate the person and work of the Spirit in your everyday life.

  • Just as one cannot see the entire Mississippi river when standing in its headwaters, believers initially see only a part of their salvation when they come to Christ.

    Romans 8:28-30 provides a high enough vantage point to reveal that God’s work in salvation begins in eternity past with His foreknowledge and extends into eternity future with our glorification.

    This full view assures believers of the certainty and security of their salvation, providing comfort amid present sufferings and confidence in God’s unchanging purpose.

    Romans 8:28-30
    And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

  • Life-expectancy worldwide is twice what it was a hundred years ago. And because of modern medicine, many of us don’t often see death up close. That makes it easy to live as if death is someone else’s problem. It isn’t.

    On this archive episode of the Reasonable Theology podcast we sit down with Matthew McCullough, a pastor and author who recently published a book called Remember Death: The Surprising Path to Living Hope.

    When we ignore our own mortality, we lose out on much of what Scripture has for us to learn. As McCullough states, "When the reality of death is far from our minds, the promises of Jesus often seem detached from our lives."

    In this episode we'll discuss:

    The reason that death is, for many of us, like a foreign countryCultural changes that have occurred that allow us to 'forget' the reality of deathThe negative consequences of death becoming tabooWhat believers miss out on when they forget deathThe benefits of remembering our mortality (and why it's much more than carpe diem)How our view of death impacts how we respond to the promises of ChristPractical (and non-morbid!) steps we can take to remember death

  • Did the United States truly have a Christian founding, or were the Founders simply Deists who desired to create a secular nation?

    This question has been hotly debated for generations, and our society increasingly regards the idea of America's Christian heritage as something to be minimized, rejected, or denied.

    So what is the truth regarding the faith of the Founders and how it influenced their actions as they fought a revolution and brought forth a new nation?

    To answer this question we're speaking with historian Mark David Hall. Hall is one of the most distinguished scholars of early American history. He is a professor, a nationally-recognized expert on religious freedom, and the author of several books, including Did America Have a Christian Founding?

    In this conversation we'll discuss how Christianity shaped our nation, how much impact deism actually had on some of the Founders, the true meaning of the separation of church and state, and how we can return to the biblical founding principles that made America a great nation.

  • Back when he was an avowed atheist, J Warner Wallace put his skills as a cold-case homicide detective to work investigating the claims of the Gospels and became a follower of Jesus. Now he is a speaker, apologist, and an author as well as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, an adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University, and a faculty member at Summit Ministries.

    I’ve spoken with him on previous episodes about his books Cold Case Christianity and Person of Interest, and he’s back on to talk about this latest book: The Truth in True Crime: What Investigating Death Teaches Us About Life.

    We’ll discuss our culture’s fascination with true crime and murder mysteries and the important life lessons that Wallace learned over his career investigating real-life cases and what these lessons teach us about ourselves and our Creator.

    In our conversation we’ll talk about the importance of humility, how the Gospel on impacts every area of life, and the cautionary lessons we learn from the bad guys he’s helped put away.

    The Truth in True Crime takes lessons learned from crime scene investigations and, more importantly, found in the pages of Scripture and distills them into 15 principles that everyone should know and pursue.

  • In Pauls' letter to the Philippians, we find a profound analogy for Christians living in this world: just as the citizens of Philippi lived as Romans despite their geographical distance from Rome, believers are called to live as citizens of heaven while residing on earth.

    The Philippians embraced Roman customs, language, and loyalty because they cherished the glory and power of Rome. Similarly, Christians must embrace the customs and values of their heavenly kingdom, prioritizing their allegiance to Christ above all earthly ties.

    In this sermon we'll look at how this heavenly citizenship impacts our everyday lives as well as the relationships we build within the church, helping us focus on eternal things rather than getting caught up in the temporary concerns of this world.

  • What does it mean to be well-read? How can we choose which books are worth our time and which ones aren’t? Is it okay to give up on a book we’re not enjoying? Do audiobooks ‘count’ as reading?

    On this episode of the podcast we’re tackling all of these questions and a lot more.

    Our guest is Andy Naselli, professor at Bethlehem College and Seminary and author of How to Read a Book: Advice for Christian Readers.

    We’ll talk about the importance of reading in the Christian life, how we can overcome some bad reading habits, different ‘layers’ of reading, how to instill a love of books in our kids, and more.

  • “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” - Romans 8:28.

    This is a well-known and well-loved verse, and yet it is commonly misused, misunderstood, and misapplied. The problem is not that people misuse Romans 8:28 by making it say too much, but by making it say too little.

    If we do not understand what it is that Romans 8:28 is promising – and particularly what it means when it says that all things work together for good – we will exchange an abiding, unshakeable, certain hope for a flimsy “look on the sunny side of life” platitude.

    The point of Romans 8:28 is not that God is working out ‘all things’ to give you comfort in life, but that He is working out all things to bring you into conformity with Christ.

    In this sermon we examine the context, the conditions, and the confirmation of this great promise.

  • The Puritans are, at the same time, highly regarded and highly disdained—depending on who you ask. There are many caricatures about who the Puritans were, what they taught, and what they can still teach us today. On top of this, much of their writing can seem difficult for the modern reader. So why should we bother with the Puritans?

    On this episode I have a conversation with Dr. Don Kistler about the importance of the Puritans and how the church today can benefit from their spiritual guidance. Dr. Kistler is a Bible teacher, author, founder of Northampton Press, and he has been republishing Puritan works for decades.

    One of his latest reprints is Christ, the Perfect Pattern for a Christian by Ralph Robinson — which hasn’t been reprinted since 1658! We’ll talk about this particular book and the life and ministry of Robinson, as well as why we should read the lesser-known Puritans.

    Whether you already enjoy the works of the Puritans or have been reluctant to give them a chance, you’re definitely going to get a lot out of our conversation. Dr. Kistler will also share a number of recommended titles both for the beginner as well as some little known works that even those who love the Puritans may not have heard of.

    I’ll have all of the notes prepped for you at ReasonableTheology.org/Puritans where you can find links to the books we mention as well as additional information and resources.

  • Are Christians still required to keep the Sabbath? And what does keeping the Sabbath really look like?

    On this episode we will answer these important questions and many others as we consider the role of the sabbath in the Christian life through the lens of the convictions and teachings of Charles Spurgeon.

    We’ll hear from Pastor Brandon Rhea who has a new book out titled “Spurgeon's Forgotten Sabbatarianism: Examining the Role of the 4th Commandment in His Life and Theology.”

    Rhea is the pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Kirksville, Missouri and received his Ph.D. from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, with his dissertation being focused on the Sabbath views of the Prince of Preachers.

    In this conversation we will:
    • Dispel some caricatures about the Sabbath
    • Discuss whether or not this command is still binding for us today
    • How to begin observing the Sabbath if you have never really set it apart as the Lord’s Day.

    Along the way, we’ll learn how a commitment to the Sabbath shaped Spurgeon’s ministry, what this looked like in his own life over the years, and how this conviction runs like a thread throughout his preaching and teaching.

    What can we learn from Spurgeon’s Sabbatarianism, and how should we think more carefully about the Lord’s Day in our own lives?

    On this episode you’ll be both challenged and encouraged as we explore these questions and more.

  • In Romans 10:13-15, the Apostle Paul declares that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

    Having shared this truth, he asks a series of questions: "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?"

    Having heard, believed, and called upon Christ ourselves, every believer must be committed to going and proclaiming the excellencies of Christ to others.

  • The apostle Paul wrote that "if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain" (1 Corinthians 15:14). A few verses later he said, "if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins."

    The Resurrection is the central truth claim of the Christian faith. Or, as our guest puts it, itis the bedrock of Christianity.

    In The Bedrock of Christianity: The Unalterable Facts of Jesus' Death and Resurrection, Dr. Justin Bass examines facts about Jesus' death and resurrection that even skeptical scholars agree with.

    Listen as we discuss why the resurrection is the bedrock truth claim of the Christian faith and how we can present this truth to others - even skeptics.

  • Reading the books of 1 & 2 Chronicles after reading 1 & 2 Kings can feel like deja vu. You might ask yourself, 'Didn't I just read this?'

    There are so many similarities between the books of Kings and Chronicles that some wonder why we have both sets of Israel's history in our Bibles at all.

    In this video, we'll discuss the similarities and differences between King and Chronicles and see how the different time periods and purposes of each make a unique contribution to the unfolding story of Scripture.

  • If scholars faithfully use reliable manuscripts when translating Scripture, why do we have different versions of the Bible?

    Perhaps the most vital thing to understand about different Bible versions: by their very nature translations are NEVER word for word.

    Translators must interpret to some degree, and how they go about this process falls into two philosophies: FORMAL EQUIVALENCE or DYNAMIC EQUIVALENCE.

    Listen to learn how this impacts the translation process and check out some Bible translations that are worth your consideration.

    Recommended Bible Translations:
    Those looking for a recommendation of a good Bible versions will find the ESV, the NASB, the Legacy, and the CSB to be excellent choices.
