In this episode, the host and Iver Martin talk about Edinburgh Theological Seminary, pastoral training, and the spiritual landscape in Scotland. Iver shares why the seminary stays accountable to the church, what it looks like to prepare men for ministry with both academic and congregational training, and how the Free Church of Scotland is aiming to plant 30 churches by 2030 while praying for more men to pursue ministry.

In this episode, Jeff and Craig revisit justification by faith alone and explain why James and Paul are not contradicting each other. Using Abraham as the key example, they distinguish God’s legal declaration of righteousness credited by faith from the outward evidence of living faith that produces works, and they close by grounding the order of salvation in Ephesians 2.

In this episode, Jeff and Craig continue their series on sound interpretation principles by looking at how the Bible uses negatives. They explain how some questions function as emphatic denials and how simple negatives often imply a strong positive. Through examples from Job and Matthew, they show why slowing down to notice a single word like not can completely change the meaning of a passage and guard us from drawing the opposite conclusion of what the text teaches. They also discuss the difference between God revealing true knowledge of Himself and our inability to comprehend Him exhaustively, along with how Christ’s gentle care for the weak is expressed through a negative statement.

Scripture mentioned:

Job 11:7 – https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/job/11/7/s_447007

“Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?”

Matthew 12:18–20 – https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/mat/12/18-20/s_941018

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets; a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldring wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory.”

In this episode, Jeff and Craig continue their series on biblical interpretation by addressing how readers can be misled by the mere sound of a word. Using examples like “perfect,” “blameless,” and “righteous,” they show how the same English word can carry different meanings depending on context and translation. The episode emphasizes careful study, attention to theological vocabulary, and avoiding rigid assumptions about familiar terms.

Scripture mentioned:

Job 1:1 (KJV) - https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/job/1/1/s_437001

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Job 1:1 (ESV) - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/job/1/1/s_437001

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.

Matthew 5:48 (KJV) - https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/mat/5/48/s_934048

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Genesis 6:9 (KJV) - https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gen/6/9/s_6009

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Genesis 6:9 (ESV) - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/gen/6/9/s_6009

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

Romans 3:9–12 (ESV) - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/3/9-12/s_1049009

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written:

“None is righteous, no, not one;

no one understands;

no one seeks for God.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;

no one does good,

not even one.”

In this episode, Jeff and Craig explain how passages that appear to contradict each other are resolved through careful attention to word usage, translation, and context. Focusing on Scripture that speaks about temptation and testing, they show how the same English word can be used in different senses without creating conflict. The discussion reinforces confidence in the unity and truthfulness of God’s Word.

Scripture mentioned:

James 1:13 (KJV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/jas/1/13/s_1147013

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.

Genesis 22:1 (KJV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gen/22/1/s_22001

And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

James 1:13 (ESV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/1/13/s_1147013

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Genesis 22:1 (ESV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/gen/22/1/s_22001

After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

Matthew 4:1 (ESV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/mat/4/1/s_933001

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

James 1:14–15 (ESV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/1/14-15/s_1147014

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)

https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/1co/10/13/s_1072013

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

In this episode, Jeff and Craig discuss how to interpret passages where the Bible uses hyperbole and exaggeration. They explain why rigid literalism can distort meaning, how Scripture uses figurative language to emphasize truth, and how context helps readers distinguish between hyperbole and historical or miraculous events. Biblical examples include Jesus’ teachings, Old Testament descriptions, and symbolic numbers.

Scripture mentioned:

Deuteronomy 1:28 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/deu/1/28/s_154028

Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven. And besides, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’

Psalm 107:26 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/psa/107/26/s_585026

They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;

Joshua 11:4 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jos/11/4/s_198004

And they came out with all their troops, a great horde, in number like the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.

Judges 7:12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jdg/7/12/s_218012

And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts in abundance, and their camels were without number, as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance.

In this episode, Jeff and Craig discuss the doctrine of justification and why Scripture uses the word in different ways. They walk through Romans 3 and James 2, showing how Paul speaks of justification as God’s legal declaration by faith alone, while James speaks of justification as the visible evidence of true faith. The episode emphasizes careful interpretation, context, and the unity of Scripture.

Scripture mentioned:

Romans 3:28 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/3/28/s_1049028

For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

James 2:17-26 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/2/17-26/s_1148017

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!

Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?

You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;

and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God.

You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Romans 3:21-22 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/3/21-22/s_1049021

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—

the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:

Isaiah 64:6 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/isa/64/6/s_743006

We have all become like one who is unclean,

and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.

We all fade like a leaf,

and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

In this episode, Jeff and Craig walk through Isaiah 7, focusing on the promise of Emmanuel and its meaning in context. They discuss King Ahaz, fear versus faith, God’s faithfulness despite human unfaithfulness, and how Isaiah 7 points forward to Christ. The conversation traces the promise of the Messiah from Genesis through Isaiah and into the New Testament, showing how God keeps his covenant promises across redemptive history.

Scripture mentioned:

Isaiah 7:9-16 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/isa/7/9-16/s_686

And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,

and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.

If you are not firm in faith,

you will not be firm at all.’”

Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz:

“Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be

deep as Sheol or high as heaven.”

And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also?

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good.

For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

Genesis 3:15 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/gen/3/15/s_3015

I will put enmity between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and her offspring;

he shall bruise your head,

and you shall bruise his heel.”

Daniel 7:13-14 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/dan/7/14/s_857014

“I saw in the night visions,

and behold, with the clouds of heaven

there came one like a son of man,

and he came to the Ancient of Days

and was presented before him.

And to him was given dominion

and glory and a kingdom,

that all peoples, nations, and languages

should serve him;

his dominion is an everlasting dominion,

which shall not pass away,

and his kingdom one

that shall not be destroyed.

Revelation 7:9-12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rev/7/9/s_1174009

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/deu/25/11-12/s_178011

“When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts,

then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity."

Isaiah 55:10-11 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/isa/55/10-11/s_734010

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven

and do not return there but water the earth,

making it bring forth and sprout,

giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;

it shall not return to me empty,

but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,

and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Scripture mentioned:

John 17:17 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jhn/17/17/s_1014017

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

John 1:1 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jhn/1/1/s_998001

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Romans 1:20 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/1/20/s_1047020

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone s3ays he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

James 2:17 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/2/17/s_1148017

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 2:26 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/2/26/s_1148026

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Romans 8:1 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/8/1/s_1054001

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:9 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2co/5/9/s_1083009

So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

2 Corinthians 5:14 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2co/5/14/s_1083014

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;

Philippians 2:12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/phl/2/12/s_1105012

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

In this episode, Jeff and Craig discuss how words can carry different meanings depending on context. They give examples from everyday language and Scripture, highlighting terms like “all,” “saved,” and “baptism,” and show why careful interpretation is essential to avoid misunderstanding.

Scripture mentioned:

2 Samuel 15:23 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2sa/15/1/s_282001

And all the land wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook Kidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness.

Mark 1:4-5 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/mar/1/4-5/s_958004

John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

Romans 3:9-13a - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/3/23/s_1049023

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.”

Romans 3:21-25 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/3/21-25/s_1049021

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

1 Timothy 2:15 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/1ti/2/15/s_1121015

Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

Ephesians 2:8 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/eph/2/8/s_1099008

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God...

1 Peter 3:18-22 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/1pe/3/18-22/s_1154018

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

In this episode, Jeff and Craig discuss the principle of using Scripture to interpret Scripture, known as the analogy of the faith. They explain how all of God’s Word is unified, how context protects against misinterpretation, and why the whole counsel of Scripture must guide our understanding.

Scripture mentioned:

2 Timothy 3:14-17 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2ti/3/14-17/s_1128014

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, or correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Psalm 119:160 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/psa/119/160/s_597160

The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.

John 17:17 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jhn/17/17/s_1014017

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2ti/2/15/s_1127015

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Jude 1:3 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jde/1/3/s_1167003

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

Romans 12:6 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/12/6/s_1058006

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith.

In this episode, Brian and Craig explain how Scripture uses logical reasoning and deduction. Looking at Jesus’ debate with the Sadducees in Matthew 22, they show how necessary conclusions drawn from God’s Word affirm truth, including the reality of the resurrection.

Scripture mentioned:

Matthew 22:23-40 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/mat/22/23-40/s_951023

The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ So too the second and third, down to the seventh. After them all, the woman died. But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Exodus 3:6 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/exo/3/6/s_53006

And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

2 Timothy 3:16 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2ti/3/16/s_1128016

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness...

In this episode, Jeff and Craig walk through Romans 8:29–30. They explain terms like foreknowledge, predestination, justification, and glorification, showing how God’s unbreakable work in salvation brings both comfort and assurance for believers.

Scripture mentioned:

Romans 8:28-35 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/8/28-35/s_1054028

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.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Ephesians 1:11-12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/eph/1/11-12/s_1098011

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

Scripture mentioned:

Matthew 18:15-22 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/mat/18/15-22/s_947015

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”

Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Luke 17:1-4 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/luk/17/1-4/s_990001

And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,

and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

Hebrews 4:12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/heb/4/12/s_1137012

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

In this episode, Brian and Craig discuss how to interpret Scripture by using explicit statements to clarify what is only implied. They give examples from passages like Mark 12, John 3, and John 20, showing how context and clear teaching help prevent misunderstandings.

Scripture mentioned:

Mark 12:25 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/mar/12/25/s_969025

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

John 3:9-21 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jhn/3/9-21/s_1000009

Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?”

Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony.

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life...

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

John 6:65 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jhn/6/65/s_1003065

And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

John 20:26-29 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jhn/20/26-29/s_1017026

Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”

Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

my glory I give to no other,

In this episode, Brian and Craig continue their conversation on artificial intelligence, focusing on how Christians can use AI wisely. They discuss healthy boundaries, the impact on creativity and relationships, and how to approach new technology with discernment, stewardship, and a biblical mindset.

Scripture mentioned:

Romans 12:1-2 - I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Philippians 4:8-9 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Psalm 119:9-16 -

How can a young man keep his way pure?

By guarding it according to your word.

With my whole heart I seek you;

let me not wander from your commandments!

I have stored up your word in my heart,

that I might not sin against you.

Blessed are you, O LORD;

teach me your statutes!

With my lips I declare

all the rules of your mouth.

In the way of your testimonies I delight

as much as in all riches.

I will meditate on your precepts

and fix my eyes on your ways.

I will delight in your statutes;

I will not forget your word.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 - For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

In this episode, Brian and Craig discuss how to interpret Scripture using reason, logic, and biblical examples. They explore syllogisms, the role of internal transformation, and how God's promises bring assurance.

Scripture mentioned:

Matthew 22:29-33 - But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

Matthew 12:8-14 - "For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” He went on from there and entered their synagogue. And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse him. He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.

Matthew 6:25-33 - “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Romans 8:26-39 - Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 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.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

In this episode: Brian and Pastor Jay dive into the doctrine of unconditional election, what it means, common objections, and how it shapes evangelism, humility, and assurance.

Scripture mentioned:

Deuteronomy 7:7-8 - It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Romans 9:15-16 - For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.

2 Corinthians 5:14 - For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;

Matthew 1:20-24 - But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife.

Ephesians 2:1 - And you were dead in the trespasses and sins...

In this episode, Brian and Craig discuss the importance of being careful with words - especially words with theological meaning.

Scripture mentioned:

1 Timothy 2:14-15 - and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

Genesis 3:15 - I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

John 3:3-4 - Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Romans 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:9-12 - What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”

1 John 5:1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.

1 John 2:29 - If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

In this episode, Brian and Jay discuss Total Depravity, the first point of Calvinism.

Scripture mentioned:

Ephesians 4:18: They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

1 John 1:8: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11: Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Ezekiel 36:26: And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

2 Corinthians 5:21: For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Proverbs 14:12: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

2 Corinthians 5:20: Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

In this episode, Brian and Craig discuss the framework of Redemptive History.

Scripture mentioned:

Genesis 3:14-15: The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

Genesis 12:1-3: Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Daniel 7:13-14:

I saw in the night visions,

and behold, with the clouds of heaven

there came one like a son of man,

and he came to the Ancient of Days

and was presented before him.

And to him was given dominion

and glory and a kingdom,

that all peoples, nations, and languages

should serve him;

his dominion is an everlasting dominion,

which shall not pass away,

and his kingdom one

that shall not be destroyed.

Revelation 7:9-12: After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
