Episode 8: "Glorification"

So we’ve been justified through faith in God, and we are being sanctified in this life through the work of the Holy Spirit; but where do these things lead to?

Episode 7: "Sanctification"

What happens after we are saved? Join co-hosts Pastor Tyler and Dr. Irvin as they discuss sanctification and its implications for the believer. While justification is the exact moment when one is saved, sanctification is the lifelong process that God uses to make believers more like Him.

Episode 6: "Justification"

What is justification? What does it mean that a Christian is justified? Join Pastor Tyler and Dr. Brad Irvin as they discuss and expand on the beautiful doctrine of justification. Can it really be true that Jesus takes the sins of His children and gives them His righteousness? Can Christians truly stand before God as righteous even though we are marred with sin? The answer is a resounding "yes!", because it is all through the work of Jesus Christ and nothing of ourselves. 

Episode 5: "Creation"

Kicking off a new worship series, this episode addresses the biblical narrative of the Creation account. Join Pastor Tyler as he compares the Creation texts in Genesis 1 and 2 with other creation accounts from ancient near-eastern literature. As a result, the one true God of Christianity is confirmed as the only God of the universe, and the legitimacy of the biblical Creation account is upheld, causing the "greatest gods" of Egypt, Babylon, and Mesopotamia to crumble.

Episode 4: Ready For A Defense

Join Pastor Tyler and Dr. Joe Nichols as they discuss apologetics and why it matters. Through apologetics, Christians can have ammo for defending the faith; however, as Dr. Nichols says, we don’t use it as ammo. Speak the truth in love. 1 Peter 3:15, “But in your hearts regard Christ as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you” (CSB).

Addressing the sexual scandal of the late evangelist and apologist, Ravi Zacharias, join Pastor Tyler Ball and Pastor Greg Savage as they discuss how Christians and the church should respond when a giant of the Christian faith falls.
