Historical Genesis: History versus Mythology (S07, E01)

Beliefs: Free will and Sovereignty (S08, E01)

Pastor Jason introduces a five-episode series exploring core Protestant doctrines, beginning with the contrasting lenses of Calvinism and Arminianism and their views on free will and God’s sovereignty. The episode explains how each perspective interprets key Bible passages, invites respectful dialogue, and affirms that both views belong within the broader Christian community.

Historical Genesis: How to Read Primeval History (S07, E08)

Pastor Jason concludes a series examining Genesis 1–11, exploring primeval history, its similarities and differences with ancient myths, and how it functions to form Israel’s worldview. He argues Genesis is primarily theological—teaching about God, sin, judgment, and redemption—while also presenting historical elements (genealogies, flood, Tower of Babel) that can be read as genuine history without requiring every detail to be literal.

Historical Genesis: Long Lives and Nephilim (S07, E07)

Pastor Jason untangles Genesis chapters 5–6 in this episode of the Faith Chapel Podcast, examining the remarkable lifespans listed from Adam to Noah and the mysterious Nephilim. He compares literal and symbolic readings of the ages, looks at parallels like the Sumerian king list, and surveys interpretations of the "sons of God" and their offspring. The episode lays out major scholarly views—fallen angels, rival human lineages, and ancient rulers—explains how these readings shape our understanding of early Genesis, and concludes that Christians can reasonably disagree on these matters while still holding the Bible as authoritative.

Historical Genesis: Dinosaurs (S07, E06)

Pastor Jason explores whether the first chapters of Genesis should be read as history or primarily as fiction and focuses this episode on dinosaurs and the dating methods used to determine when they lived. The episode surveys Christian perspectives (young-earth, old-earth, and middle positions), biblical references like Behemoth and Leviathan, global myths, and scientific dating techniques such as radiometric methods, strata comparison, and biomolecular findings. The host presents evidence from both viewpoints and concludes the question of coexistence between humans and dinosaurs remains inconclusive while encouraging further study.

Historical Genesis: Noah's Flood (S07, E05)

Pastor Jason examines whether the flood of Noah's time was a worldwide catastrophe or a regional event. This episode considers the biblical account, scientific and geological arguments on both sides, and similar flood stories from ancient cultures like Gilgamesh, weighing the evidence for a literal global flood. With science inconclusive and multiple historical attestations, Jason explains why he leans toward the flood being a real, large-scale event.
