Ep.95 | The Sphere of Domestic Authority

In this episode, I discuss the reason why God established spheres of authority and why those are just, even if sinful man uses them wrongly. Then I build a Biblical case for the domestic sphere of authority (male headship and female submission) and also discuss the authority of parents over children. 

Finally, I give a short answer to the question "When do we disobey God-established authorities?" 

Ep. 94 | The Government’s Sphere of Authority

In this episode, I define and describe the Scriptural basis for the government's authority over its citizens. 

Topics discussed include the foundation of human government, the purpose of government, and why Christians ought to excel at submitting to governing authorities. 

Ep. 93 | Spheres of Authority

Related to the idea that God has bestowed the responsibility and privilege of ruling creation to man, this discussion on the spheres of authority help to further define how and when mankind exercises authority and the appropriate bounds of authority. 

Ep. 92 | The Ordinance of Dominion

An introduction to the Creation ordinance of Dominion. In this episode, we look at defining the ordinance and discussing basic application. 

Ep 91 | Spiritual Resolutions

Do you make a New Year's Resolution? I find that when the new year comes, it's always a good time to reflect and consider improvements I want to make in different areas of my life. 

More importantly than losing weight, eating better, or making more money, is the improvement that we make as Christians towards Christlikeness. This episode will challenge you to improve one aspect of life in each of three spiritual disciplines.

Ep. 87 | Evaluating Spiritual Growth

When is the last time you have considered your progress, or growth, as a believer? According to Phil. 2:12-16, we should be continually growing in Christ-likeness. But what standard should we use to evaluate growth? Maybe you have to ask yourself: Am I even growing?

Adopted from the book What is a Healthy Church Member? by Thabiti Anyabwile, this episode explores the difference between superficial growth and genuine growth.

Ep. 86 | God Established Sex and Gender

One of the creation ordinances that has been overlooked in times past is that of sex and gender. In this episode, I discuss some of the reasons why it was formerly overlooked and why we can't overlook it any longer. You'll also learn: 

Biblical definition of "sex" and "gender".

What it means to be "binary" and "non-binary" and how these terms came about. 

The implications of affirming someone's gender identity.
