The Apologetic Apostolic

What I Learned From Years of Church Scandals

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I open up about a difficult but necessary topic: church scandals. As a Christian who loves the Church and believes in the gospel of Jesus Christ, facing stories of moral failure, abuse, corruption, and cover-ups within church leadership has been heartbreaking and faith-shaking. But instead of turning away or shutting down, I chose to lean in—to listen, to learn, and to wrestle with the hard questions. This isn’t a hit piece. It’s not a deconstruction manifesto or a defense of everything that’s gone wrong. It’s a Christian perspective rooted in faith, Scripture, and a desire to grow in spiritual maturity. I share what I’ve learned from pastors, victims, theologians, and former insiders—and what the Holy Spirit is teaching me about humility, justice, and the true mission of the Church. Whether you're someone who’s been personally hurt by the Church, someone who's struggling with their faith in the wake of scandal, or someone who wants to better understand how to navigate these conversations with grace and truth, this episode is for you. 🙏 My Prayer for You: That this episode meets you in a place of honesty, brings clarity to confusion, and points you back to the heart of Jesus—even through the messiness of human failure. 📲 Listen now and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

What is the Protestant View of the Trinity? w/ Andrew Elliott Part 3

If you’re new here, I want to invite you to follow us on Instagram and Facebook as well as subscribe to our YouTube channel @theapologeticapostolic, Twitter @_tasquared_, and give us a visit on our website, subscribe to our email list, and get you and a loved one some nice TA squared merch at theapologeticapostolic.com.  Welcome to the third and final part of this conversation between myself and Andrew Elliott. If you are just jumping into this conversation, I would encourage you to listen to the two previous episodes to hear the first 2 parts of the talk. For returning listeners, I do apologize for being a week and a half late in this but I believe you will enjoy all the same. The video of the full conversation will be on YouTube so keep an eye on our social media for that announcement. In this part of the conversation, Andrew and I talk about differing views of orthodoxy and heresy between Oneness and Trinitarian thought. If you’re jumping in halfway through,welcome and let me clarify that here at the Apologetic Apostolic, we unwaveringly believe in the absolute numerical oneness of God, the essentiality of baptism in Jesus name, and reject the Trinity.  I’ll also repeat what my prayer is for this and the other parts of this conversation. If you’re a Oneness Pentecostal listening to this podcast, I pray that it removes the false assumptions that surround your Trinitarian friends’ beliefs and make for more productive conversations with your neighbors. If you’re a Trinitarian listening to this podcast, I pray that you feel well represented and enjoy a peek into the world of Oneness Pentecostalism, and If you’re not part of either of these camps and want to hear a great conversation, I hope that you enjoy two twenty something talking about theology, thai food, and cheeto hot dogs!
