Ep. 113 Paul Went Against the Culture

Text Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1916054/fan_mail/new] We continue our discussion of Ephesians 5. In this episode, we capitalize on a perspective of Ephesians 5 that seems contrary to the narrative that is often pushed. Many have argued that Paul was dealing in a patriarchal society, and many of the commands he gave was in regard to that societal mindset. However, is that really the case, or was Paul actually addressing issues that had arisen as the culture began to shift toward an embrace of egalitarianism?  If you would like to purchase the commentary that was referenced in this episode, you can find it here: https://a.co/d/03wYDZjZ To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.

Ep. 112 Are All Doctrines Equal?

Text Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1916054/fan_mail/new] On this episode, we spend some time discussing a book written by Gavin Ortlund titled, "Finding the Right Hills to Die On: A Case for Theological Triage". In this book, Dr. Ortlund gives some helpful examples and arguments as to how a believer should categorize various doctrines. In all things, as Dr. Ortlund states, we should ultimately desire Godliness, and promote the welfare of the body of Christ!
