Thursday, February 5, 2026 • Duration 18:11

What theological crisis in the 20th century led thousands of Reformed Christians to leave their denomination and start something new? In this episode, Dr. Cornelis Venema takes us inside the Christian Reformed Church in North America during a time when questions about biblical authority, confessional fidelity, and ordination standards came to a head. From faculty dismissals at Calvin Seminary in 1952 to heated debates over Genesis, evolution, and women's ordination, you’ll learn about the interconnected controversies that made it clear to many that a new direction was necessary. This is the foundational story behind the United Reformed Churches in North America.

How did the Catholic Church respond when Luther's hammer struck the church door? In this Christmas Day finale, Dr. Alan Strange and Jared Luttjeboer explore the other side of the Reformation story: Rome's counter-offensive. From the rise of the Jesuits as the Pope's "shock troops" to the monumental Council of Trent that would define Catholic theology for years to come, you'll learn how the Catholic Church navigated one of its greatest crises. Was it genuine reform or strategic resistance? The answer might surprise you. This episode also traces the surprising connections between 16th-century debates and the Catholic Church of today, and reveals why these centuries-old decisions continue to have relevance in modern Christianity.

Thursday, October 12, 2023 • Duration 16:58

In this episode, Dr. Beach examines the ordo salutis, which refers to the logical sequence or order of the various elements involved in the process of salvation according to Reformed theology.

195. The Historia Salutis

Episode 195

Thursday, October 5, 2023 • Duration 16:53

In this episode, Dr. Beach looks at the historia salutis, the overarching narrative of salvation history that unfolds throughout the Bible. By examining the major movements and themes of Scripture, Dr. Beach helps us see how the separate books of the Bible fit together into one grand narrative of God's purposeful action in human history to save a people for Himself. He highlights connections between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, demonstrating the unity of Scripture amidst its diversity. It’s important for us to understand that the Bible is not just a collection of stories and ethical principles but as the unfolding drama of redemption that finds its climax and fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Episode 194

Thursday, September 28, 2023 • Duration 16:16

In this episode, Dr. J. Mark Beach explores the pactum salutis, also known as the covenant of redemption. This refers to the agreement made between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit before the creation of the world to redeem fallen humanity. By exploring the pactum salutis, Dr. Beach provides insight into the nature of the Trinity and the meticulous planning involved in God's work of salvation. This intra-Trinitarian covenant reminds us that redemption was no afterthought but rather the gracious purpose of God from before the foundation of the world.
