Cast Your Nets, with BigTuna

Ep. 16: Matthew 5:5 and Offensive Christianity, feat. J. Chase Davis

In this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is once more joined by returning guest J. Chase Davis, to discuss Chase’s new book, “Offensive Christianity: Restoring the Strength of Men in a Feminized Age,” and Matthew 5:5. The two sift through the “toothlessness” of contemporary Christianity, the proper meaning of Meekness in the Bible, why the world wants Men to be weak (and how Men can resist this), how Men can use their powers wisely, what it means to inherit the earth, Glory’s proper place in the Christian life, and why psychologizing the sermon on the mount reduces the impact of Jesus’ message. Scriptures like Psalm 37:11, Hebrews 11, Numbers 12, Exodus 17:8-16, and others are used to steel the arguments put forward during the podcast. Tune in for all of the and more!

Ep. 15: Acts 17 and The Enculturated Word, feat. Pax

In this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by creative design extraordinaire and friend of the podcast, Pax (formerly Pax Americana). The two discussed Acts 17, dwelling on the meaning of “turn the world upside down,” Paul’s announcement of a new phase of history, why the cultural contexts of Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens are necessary to understand the passage, why the Jews reacted in the ways they did to Paul’s message, why Paul’s spirit was provoked in Athens, why God has providentially set up the boundaries of nations, and what this all means for America, both historically and today.

Ep. 14: 1 Kings 18 & God's Forbearance, feat. Grant Brooks

In today’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by the excellent Grant Brooks to discuss 1 Kings 18, involving Elijah’s confrontation with King Ahab and the prophets of Baal. Together, they examine how God’s character is revealed through the passage’s narrative (esp. his mercy), the Bible’s description of generational and/or national wickedness, Fire as a key thematic element in the Bible, how deep Israel’s betrayal of God actually was, why marriage can be used as an analogy of God and his People, why God has a People, and much more. Other passages taken from 1 & 2 Chronicles, Hebrews 12, 2 Kings, and others are used to bolster the arguments made. Tune in now!

Ep. 13: 1 Corinthians & The Purity of the Church

In the first Cast Your Nets episode of 2026, BigTuna returns to walk through the book of 1st Corinthians, examining why Paul casts particular sinners out of the Church, why evildoers must be purged from the midst of God’s assembly, the necessity of unity within the Church, the concepts of sin as virus and the wicked as leaven, why contemporary culture is not uniquely sexual, but uniquely vulgar; and why exile (or excommunication) are more biblical punishments than imprisonment. Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 5 & 6, Leviticus 18, Deuteronomy 22, Matthew 15, and others are consulted to inform the believer.

Ep. 12: The 10 Commandments & the Purpose of the Law, feat. Ron Dodson

In this episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is once again joined by friend of the show, Ron Dodson, who previously appeared on Episode 4. Today, they discussed the Ten Commandments (using both the Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 versions), why they are addressed to a particular people in time, the Noahic Covenant & covenantal messaging more broadly, why the God of the Bible must be understood as personal, the instructive power of Law, Tabernacle, and Temple; how Acts models proper loyalty to God, the meaning of Righteousness, and understanding the Kingdom of Heaven as an eternal body that is outside of space & time (while still being deeply tied to particular languages, eras, cultures, and political contexts). Scriptures like Genesis 9 and Acts 15:12-21 are also used in bolstering the Biblical evidence for the case made. Tune in now!
