They address various claims, including the visibility of distant objects, the Antarctic Treaty, and supposed biblical support for a flat Earth, providing scientific and biblical rebuttals.The episode also includes interviews with Colonel Jeff Williams, a Christian astronaut, and Dr. Jason Lisle, adding credibility to their refutations with firsthand space experience and astrophysical insights. Peters and Faulkner aim to reach those swayed by Flat Earth rhetoric, offering a reasoned discussion emphasizing scientific evidence’s consistency with a spherical Earth and the misinterpretation of Scripture by Flat Earth proponents.Dr. Faulkner’s book Falling FlatArticle on Flat Earth and FirmamentAnswers in GenesisDr. Jason Lisle and Biblical Science Institute➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

Kanye's interview, where he questioned the role of prayer and declared himself the "God of me," sparked concern and prompted Peters to offer a biblical perspective.Peters critiques Kanye's misunderstanding of Christianity and misapplication of faith as merely a means to an end. Reflecting on Kanye's journey from professing Christianity to his current stance, Peters emphasizes the importance of biblical discernment, the dangers of prematurely elevating new believers to leadership, and the Christian community's responsibility in nurturing genuine faith.He concludes with a compassionate call for Kanye to seek a proper understanding of the Gospel, offering guidance and resources for spiritual growth.➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

In an informative and engaging episode of the Didache podcast, Justin Peters debunks the Flat Earth Theory using simple observations and scientific principles. He begins by addressing the surprisingly large following this theory has among Christians, expressing concern for the ridicule it brings upon Christianity and the misinterpretation of biblical texts.Peters showcases photographs taken from his iPhone to provide an irrefutable argument against the Flat Earth Theory. He illustrates how the sun's rays illuminate the underside of clouds, an occurrence impossible in a flat earth model. He explains the scientific basis of light reflection and the shape of the Earth, encouraging listeners to rely on common sense, scientific evidence, and a correct interpretation of the Bible to recognize the Earth's roundness.➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

In this episode of the Didache podcast, Justin Peters critically examines the commonly cited advice of Gamaliel from Acts chapter 5 regarding how to discern true from false teachings. Peters challenges the notion that time alone will reveal a teacher's divine backing, using the advice as a cautionary tale against passivity in the face of questionable teachings.He points out that Gamaliel, a Pharisee and not a believer then, advised against opposing new movements outright, suggesting they would fail on their own if they were not from God. Peters argues this approach is flawed, citing the longevity of many false religions as evidence that time does not necessarily weed out untruths. He emphasizes the biblical mandate to discern and actively oppose false teachings, marking Gamaliel's advice as unwise and contrary to scripture.➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

In this episode, Justin Peters engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Virgil Walker and Darryl Harrison about the complex legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., particularly focusing on whether he can be considered a true Christian given his theological views.The trio delves into King's early writings, which depart from orthodox Christian doctrines such as the deity of Christ, the resurrection, and the virgin birth. They argue that, despite King's monumental contributions to civil rights and social justice, his theological positions remained inconsistent with core Christian beliefs. This podcast also addresses criticisms of John MacArthur's statements regarding King's Christian faith, exploring the evidential basis for questioning King's theological and moral stance.Just Thinking with Virgil Walker and Darrell HarrisonJust Thinking About the StateJust Thinking About EthnicityG3 MinistriesChristianity Today article by Justin GiboneyMLK Easter Sermon at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

In the latest episode of the Didache podcast, Justin Peters interviews Dr. Tom Pennington, pastor of Countryside Bible Church, about his book A Biblical Case for Cessationism: Why the Miraculous Gifts of the Spirit Have Ended. The discussion delves into cessationism, the belief that miraculous gifts have ceased with the Apostolic Age, versus continuationism, which holds that such gifts persist. Pennington clarifies cessationism, countering misconceptions of the Holy Spirit's inactivity post-Pentecost, asserting the Spirit's ongoing, vital role through non-miraculous means like Scripture. The conversation covers the New Testament's categorization of spiritual gifts, historical patterns of miracles, and responses to common counterarguments. It emphasizes the sufficiency of Scripture and the dangers of undermining it through extrabiblical revelations.Cessationist Book by Dr. Tom PenningtonCessationist MovieCessationist Conference Oct. 3-5, 2024Dr. Tom Pennington's sermon on Cessationism at Strange FireCountryside Bible Church in Southlake, TXGod Doesn't Whisper by Jim Oman➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

Bethel Church, led by Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, is known for emphasizing signs and wonders, including angel feathers appearing out of thin air in its services.

In 2021, Steven Furtick raised many eyebrows when he said, in a hyper-emotive rant, "I am God Almighty." People excused that as him getting tongue-tied. Fair enough. But then I found a clip from two years earlier in which he said the same thing. In 2024, he may have said the most blatantly heretical statement he has ever uttered. There is no excusing this one.➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

Ken Ham is the founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, The Creation Museum, and The Ark Encounter. Many Christians struggle to answer questions regarding evolution, the age of the earth, and Noah’s flood. In today’s podcast, I will ask Ken about the importance of a young earth, where all the people came from for Cain to build his city, and if the Flood was global or merely a localized flood, as some evangelicals today are trying to argue.

In September of 2023, Alistair Begg advised a Christian grandmother that she should attend the wedding of her "transexual" homosexual grandson (or granddaughter - this changes with different tellings of the story) and even give a gift in honor of it. This caused an immense controversy in evangelical circles. On January 28, in an evening service sermon (linked below), Alistair addressed the controversy and defended his advice. He largely employed the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15 as his scriptural defense.In today's podcast, I talk with pastor Dan Phillips, and he gives us a pastoral review of Alistair's defense of a Christian attending a homosexual/trans wedding.Link to Copperfield Bible Church in Houston, TX, pastored by DanLink to Dan's books - The World Tilting Gospel | God's Wisdom in ProverbsLink to Alistair's sermon in which he defended his advice➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

We will further explore what the Bible says about indwelling sin in the believer.The Messed Up Church

Deliverance ministries have made a roaring comeback. Self-described “demon slayers” maintain that born-again Christians need to have demons cast out of them regularly. Deliverance ministries, led by figures such as Greg Locke, Alexander Pagani, Isaiah Saldivar, Kathryn Krick, Vlad Savchuck, etc., are entirely predicated on the premise that Christians can be inhabited by demons.

The Remnant radio channel recently released a video saying that based on Jeremiah 32:8, Jeremiah was unsure that God had spoken to him until the prophecy came to pass. In so doing, they are trying to make the case that it is perfectly fine for today’s charismatics to be unsure if God spoke to them and unsure about what He said. Is this true, or are they twisting the Bible to make room for their charismatic theology?

Rick Warren, former pastor of Saddleback Church, was recently appointed as Chancellor of Spurgeon’s College.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This is typically taught as meaning that if you raise your child to know and fear God, he will stay on the straight and narrow for the rest of his life. Dan Phillips, however, explains that that is not the meaning of this verse - at all.**At 13:25, the chapter and verse reference is incorrect. It should be Proverbs 19:27.
