Stand Firm Podcast

Matt, Jady, and Nick discuss the source of Christians' desire to gather together. God commands it in the Bible, and it edifies the body, shaping it into Christ's image in ways that online worship cannot.

Matt, Jady, and Nick discuss the "kingdom mandate." They ask what Christians should be doing to make the world look like God's kingdom, and whether or not the local church needs to reflect the heavenly worshiping community.

Matt, Jady, and Nick continue their conversation about free will, discussing the differences between Reformed views, Pelagianism, Arminianism, and even Molinism. The more in charge God is, they decide, the better the Good News about Jesus.

Matt, Jady, and Nick talk free will on the occasion of Independence Day. But...are we free? Do we have agency? Is the biblical assertion that we are slaves bad news...or is it ultimately Good News?

Matt, Jady, and Nick talk about the Holy Spirit, some common misunderstandings, and how the Spirit connects to the Good News about Jesus.
