This podcast begins my task of finally getting my channel into podcast format lol. I'm making to be an accompaniment for catechesis at my church. But I figured it would be good to make these available as well for anyone wishing to know more about the Christian faith, and (later on) the Anglican view of things. I love the Gospel. It is good news. In this video, I try my best to unpack the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that's clear. I will go through each of these aspects in greater detail, but for now I hope this helps! Some resources for you: https://bibleproject.com/explore/vide... | |||

| Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity Book 2 AI Summary | 29 Oct 2025 | 00:38:19 | |
This podcast episode is an AI generated summary of Richard Hooker's Book 2 of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I will upload the audio reading of the Laws shortly! The AI Summary: "The provided text, "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity Book II", presents a systematic theological argument against the Puritan belief that Scripture is the only rule for all human actions in this life. The author meticulously examines and refutes several scriptural proofs brought forth by those urging reform, including passages from Proverbs, 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, and Romans, to demonstrate that God directs human behavior through multiple kinds of laws, not solely through divine command in the Bible. A significant portion of the text addresses arguments from negative authority (what is not commanded is sin), showing how such logic is frequently misused and that both natural reason and human authority are necessary, even in matters of faith, without undermining the perfection of Scripture as a guide to salvation. Ultimately, the author concludes that the strict Puritan position creates a snare and torment for weak consciences, leading to an unsound legalism that rejects actions directed by natural light and common discretion." | |||

| Why You Should Want Eternal Life - A Response to Skeptics | 04 Jan 2026 | 00:23:22 | |
In this podcast, I respond to the claim that we shouldn't want eternity. This video was inspired by an article written by a friend of mine from college, found here: https://medium.com/excommunications/y... I hope this is helpful to you. The crux of my answer is this: in eternity, as we experience new vistas of God's beauty, it opens up new sensibilities and new tastes. That matches our present experiences of beauty right now, where experiences of beauty open up new vistas. And as we press ever onward into the beauty of things, and see more of the excess deep down in things, we will find ever more capacity to see and follow the call of that excess upward and inward into the life of God. | |||

| He Is More Lovely than Sin Is Ugly | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:12:03 | |
In this video, I show that Christ is infinitely more lovely than sin is ugly. I argue that because of this--because the life of Christ, in the smallest degree, outshines the ugliness of your sin--that life is a compensation that outweighs the ugliest sin to whatever degree it dwells in you. | |||
