To begin Joshua Sherman (not reformed) brings up a few things that left a lot of people feeling confused with in the James White & William Lane Craig Debate, namely the nature of exactly HOW free will coincides with the Reformed/Calvinistic understanding of determinism. We then take audience Q&A and wrap up the episode with an encouraging message, calling Calvinist's and Non-Calvinist's alike to unite under the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we build on the groundwork laid by our brother's and sister's before us!
\n\nI personally think this episode answered A LOT of questions that were left unanswered in the James White/WLC debate and an intro to a clearer understanding of what Calvinist's actually believe about determinism and compatibilism was laid!

Join Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller, Joshua Sherman (Tending Our Nets) and myself as we discuss Law and Gospel from the Lutheran perspective!
\n\nIn this episode we break the title up into two parts: Law & Gospel. In the first half, we seek to understand exactly what the New Testament author's mean when they use phrases like "the Law", "the Law of Moses", "the Law of Christ", ect.; how the Law applied to Israelite's under the Old Covenant and how it applies to Christians under the New Covenant today; and finally different uses of the Law for believers and unbelievers in Jesus Christ alike!
\n\nThen, in the second half, after seeing our need for a Savior because the Law exposes the fact we are sinners, we dive into what exactly "The Gospel" is by examining promises found in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament for follower's of Jesus Christ! We also examine the Greek word "ĎÎŻĎĎΚĎ" (pistis - "faith/trust") as we learn what it really means to "believe in Jesus"!
\n\nWe also get into issues like the New Perspective on Paul, Karl Barth's arguments and Lutheran answers to his ideology, as well as a whole host of side topics you would expect when you sit a #Lutheran, #Calvinist and #Non-Calvinist down on a CSG episode!!!
\n\nHad a blast with Pr. Bryan as well as Josh Sherman and cannot wait for Episode #3!!!

We begin this discussion by going back in time to when Braxton first began interacting with atheists and discuss what it was that originally got him interested in apologetics in the first place. After some background on the events that unfolded that has lead him to where he is now with atheism and apologetics, we get into topics like our favorite arguments/evidences for God (Kalam Cosmological Argument); the role of the Imago Dei in asking questions like âWhere do we come from?â; the Evidential Argument from Evil and other objections against the existence of God (and answers to those objections); then ending the show by looking into the future at the direction Braxton sees Christian apologetics going, especially with topics like consciousness and quantum physics!
\n\nHighlights and Conclusions
\nOverall I think the episode was fantastic! I love the Toy Story analogy Braxton used to describe Kalam and the practical direction the episode went when we began discussing evil and sin. I (as well as the rest of the CSG crew) really enjoyed having Dr. Braxton Hunter on and look forward to, Lord willing, doing more episodes with Braxton and Dr. Johnathan Pritchett in the future!

On this episode of CSG, Josh, Noah and I have the privilege to have Dr. Chris Featherstone (ViZion United Podcast) back for the 2nd time to discuss personality disorders and a Christianâs approach in respect to them!
\n\nThese are REAL disorders those created in the Imago Dei have to face daily, so we invited Chris, who works in the field of psychotherapy, back on CSG to give us a run-down of different types of personality disorders (to better understand what, exactly, those who have them are going through) as well as explain how we might better serve those with personality disorders, around us! Also where is the line between "sin" and "disorder"?
\n\nVery engaging/practical discussion in my opinion and definitely believe seeds were planted in this episode. The question is, what are you going to do with them? :) God bless and a big thanks to Dr. Chris Featherstone for the fantastic conversation!

We cover a wide range of topics in this one from practical advice for new believers, drinking from the fount of knowledge and understanding well, the extremes and dangers of complacency and arrogance in following Christ and how your actions (as Godâs representative) affect otherâs that are made in His Image.
\n\nWe also tackle what we see as a growing problem in the Body of Christ in the second half of this episode, namely, unnecessary division and a lack of genuine Christian love. Going through 1 Corinthians 13, Josh and I expound what âloveâ looks like in our walk with not only Christ, but others who we engage with on a daily! Can we, who are created in Godâs Image, honestly love a God who we cannot see if we do not love other Image bearerâs who are right in front of our eyes?! 1 John 4:20 is pretty clear... so we remind ourselves of what the Biblical definition of love is and how to begin to apply that characteristic of every believer in Christ faithfully!
\n\nPractical Advice
\n\nDonât let a wealth of knowledge and understanding become a stumbling block.
Pick and choose your battles. Donât divide unnecessarily.
Shoot for confidence, not arrogance.
Never repay evil for evil, but love youâre enemy.
Donât spend too much time looking at yourself. Examine yourself but keep your eyes on Jesus.

We begin this episode by welcoming back Jimmy D after being out of commission for a few weeks due to having covid! We then kick off this PART 1 by giving a brief overview of what we have already touched on in past episodes, such as the 3 main views of the Imago Dei (substantive, relational, functional). Then, Sherman poses a great question of how different systems of theology (I.e Calvinism/ Non Calvinism) can have an impact on how we view the Image. We then center the entirety of the two episodes on one very important question concerning Genesis 1-3âŚ.did something âgo wrongâ with Godâs original intention in Creation with human beings?
\n\nThis episode really is a mashup of previous episodes weâve had with Joshua S. and J.D. before and throughout the two parts, it is really cool to see how our personal view of what it means for humans to be created in Godâs Image effect so many different aspects of our theology. I think bringing two differing systems of thought together, like we did in this episode, just makes the possibilities of how one can view theology in general, all the more incredible! It also shows that when we come together as family, we can truly do all things through Christ who gives us strength in His Name and through His Holy Spirit!

After brief introductions, new stories about getting stung by bees #sharethesting! and all the fun things everyone else has been up to with their podcasts and personal lives, Joshua presents us with an introduction to the âfunctionalâ interpretation of Genesis 1. This view is currently being set forth by scholars like John Walton and Scot McKnight. David, however, takes a more traditional view of the text! The two bring out their similarities, for example, both denying âeternalismâ, but there are differences the two handle with arguments laid out in a brilliant, Christ-like, and productive way! Meanwhile, Andrew and I offer engaging commentary as David and Joshua spar it out in the episode to END ALL EPISODES ON CREATIO EX NIHILO!!!!!âŚâŚ.

\n\nCheck this episode out if Genesis, creation, or different interpretations of Genesis 1 & 2 interests you!!! Extremely thought provoking in my opinion and a great starter episode for anyone interested in diving deeper in this subject!

\n\nGenesis 1:1-2:4
\n\nš In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
\n\nNow the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
\n\nAnd God said, âLet there be light,â and there was light. And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light âday,â and the darkness He called ânight.â And there was evening, and there was morningâthe first day.
\n\nAnd God said, âLet there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.â So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so. God called the expanse âsky.â And there was evening, and there was morningâthe second day.
\n\nAnd God said, âLet the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.â And it was so. God called the dry land âearth,â and the gathering of waters He called âseas.â And God saw that it was good. Then God said, âLet the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.â And it was so. The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morningâthe third day.
\n\nAnd God said, âLet there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years. And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.â And it was so. God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well. God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth, to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morningâthe fourth day.
\n\nAnd God said, âLet the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.â So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight after its kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them and said, âBe fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.â And there was evening, and there was morningâthe fifth day.
\n\nAnd God said, âLet the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.â And it was so. God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
\n\nThen God said, âLet Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.â
\n\nSo God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
\n\nGod blessed them and said to them, âBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.â
\n\nThen God said, âBehold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food. And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earthâeverything that has the breath of life in itâI have given every green plant for food.â And it was so. And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morningâthe sixth day.
\n\n² Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished. This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made them.
\nGenesis 1:1â-2:4 BSB
Other Creatio Ex Nihilo Texts__
\n\nAs it is written: âI have made you a father of many nations.â He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
\nRomans 4:17 BSB
Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
\nJohn 1:3 BSB
For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
\nColossians 1:16â-âŹ17 BSB
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see. This is why the ancients were commended. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at Godâs command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
\nHebrews 11:1â-âŹ3 BSB
I beg you, child, to look at heaven and earth. See everything that is in them and know that God made these things from nothing, and created humankind in the same way.
\n2 Maccabees 7:28 CEB
Questions To Ponder
\n\nDid God create with the appearance of age?
\nWhat roles do other ANE texts, like EnĹŤma EliĹĄ for example, play in interpretation of the Biblical text?
Does denial of Creation Ex Nihilo impact the Kalam Cosmological Argument?

\n\nThese were basically ubiquitous, in our collective experience of Communion, growing up.
\n ⢠Focus on remembering Jesus's death
\n ⢠Focus on "getting right with God" to avoid partaking in an unworthy manner
These were very common
\n ⢠Focus on private relationship with God
\n ⢠Focus on the sacrifice's accomplishment, and forgiveness
It looks like 25% or fewer of us had any of these as part of our Communion experience.
\n ⢠Focus on healing divisions, where possible
\n ⢠Focus on meeting with God corporately for a meal together
\n ⢠Focus on parting of the communion elements âin privateâ
\n ⢠Focus on being knit together as the Body of Christ, connected to Christ, our Head
\n ⢠Focus on proclaiming Jesusâs death
\n ⢠Focus on individually meeting with God for a meal together
\n ⢠Focus on âdiscerning the bodyâ when partaking
What I'm curious about - which of the items that were rare do you see specifically called out in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34?
\n\nDo you feel like the practice of Communion that you grew up with was incomplete in some way, after reading this passage?
\n\nI have some thoughts that hit me a few days ago on this, reading through the passage, and will post on these later today. I want to see what surfaces for all of this.
\n\nDESCRIPTION
\nPassover
\nJesus instituted the Eucharist on Passover. Passover was instituted by God through Moses on the night the final of the 10 plagues hit Egypt, death of every firstborn son. Each Israelite household was to take a lamb on the 10th day of Nisan, care for it for 4 days and then on the 14th, slaughter and eat it. This is meal was to be performed every year, in remembrance of God's Exodus of the Israelite's from out of Egypt. Moses describes it like this:
"Now the length of time the Israelite's lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, on the very day, all the regiments of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt. It was a night of vigil for the Lord to bring them out from the land of Egypt, and so on this night all Israel is to keep the vigil to the Lord for generations to come. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, âThis is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may share in eating it. But everyoneâs servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may eat it. A foreigner and a hired worker must not eat it. It must be eaten in one house; you must not bring any of the meat outside the house, and you must not break a bone of it. The whole community of Israel must observe it. âWhen a foreigner lives with you and wants to observe the Passover to the Lord, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may approach and observe it, and he will be like one who is born in the land â but no uncircumcised person may eat of it. The same law will apply to the person who is native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you.â So all the Israelite's did exactly as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron. And on this very day the Lord brought the Israelite's out of the land of Egypt by their regiments."
\nExodus 12:40â-âŹ51 NET
New Testament
\n\n*Judas' Betrayal
\n\nMatthew 26:26â-âŹ30 NET
\nWhile they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, âTake, eat, this is my body.â And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, âDrink from it, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fatherâs kingdom.â After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
1 Corinthians 11:23-32 NET
\nFor I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread, and after he had given thanks he broke it and said, âThis is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.â In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, âThis cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.â For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lordâs death until he comes. For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup. For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself. That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead. But if we examined ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned with the world.
*Is John 6:53-58 about the Lord's Supper?
\n\n1 Corinthians 10:14â-âŹ22 NET
\nSo then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say. Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread. Look at the people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything? No, I mean that what the pagans sacrifice is to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?
DIDACHE
\nChapter 9. The Thanksgiving (Eucharist)
\nNow concerning the Thanksgiving (Eucharist), thus give thanks. First, concerning the cup: We thank you, our Father, for the holy vine of David Your servant, which You made known to us through Jesus Your Servant; to You be the glory for ever. And concerning the broken bread: We thank You, our Father, for the life and knowledge which You made known to us through Jesus Your Servant; to You be the glory for ever. Even as this broken bread was scattered over the hills, and was gathered together and became one, so let Your Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Your kingdom; for Yours is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ for ever. But let no one eat or drink of your Thanksgiving (Eucharist), but they who have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord has said, Give not that which is holy to the dogs. [Matthew 7:6]
Chapter 10. Prayer After Communion
\nBut after you are filled, thus give thanks: We thank You, holy Father, for Your holy name which You caused to tabernacle in our hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and immortality, which You made known to us through Jesus Your Servant; to You be the glory for ever. You, Master almighty, created all things for Your name's sake; You gave food and drink to men for enjoyment, that they might give thanks to You; but to us You freely gave spiritual food and drink and life eternal through Your Servant. Before all things we thank You that You are mighty; to You be the glory for ever. Remember, Lord, Your Church, to deliver it from all evil and to make it perfect in Your love, and gather it from the four winds, sanctified for Your kingdom which You have prepared for it; for Yours is the power and the glory for ever. Let grace come, and let this world pass away. Hosanna to the God (Son) of David! If any one is holy, let him come; if any one is not so, let him repent. Maran atha. Amen. But permit the prophets to make Thanksgiving as much as they desire.
Definitions
\nAn ordinance is a religious ritual whose intent is to demonstrate an adherent's faith. Examples include baptism and the Lord's Supper, as practiced in Evangelical churches adhering to the doctrine of the believers' Church, such as Anabaptist's, all Baptist churches, Churches of Christ groups, and Pentecostal churches. -Google
Calvin
\nCalvinâs definition of Sacrament - "An external sign, by which the Lord's seals on our consciences his promises of good-will toward us, in order to sustain the weakness of our faith, and we in our turn testify our piety towards him, both before himself, and before angels as well as men. We may also define more briefly by calling it a testimony of the divine favor toward us, confirmed by an external sign, with a corresponding attestation of our faith towards Him."
According to Calvin, Augustine defines sacrament as a visible sign of a sacred thing, or a visible form of an invisible grace.
\n\nConnection between Greek ÎźĎ ĎĎÎŽĎΚον and Latin sacramentum. "And it is well known, that what the Latins call sacramenta the Greeks call mustĂŠria (mysteries)."
\n\n"Hence it is that the term was applied to those signs which gave an august representation of things spiritual and sublime. This is also observed by Augustine, 'it were tedious to discourse of the variety of signs; those which relate to divine things are called sacraments' (August Ep. 5. ad Marcell)."
\n\n(READ ALL FROM BOOK P. 492 IF TIME PERMITS) From the definition which we have given, we perceive that there never is a sacrament without an antecedent promise, the sacrament being added as a kind o appendix, with the view of confirming and sealing the promise, and giving a better attestation, or rather, in a manner, confirming itâŚ
\n\nPRACTICAL STEPS
\n1a. Participate and become
\n1b. Partake of the Body so that we become the Body (we are what we eat)
Description
\nJoin us on our 60th episode for a special Q & A on the nature of Hell, the resurrected wicked and the immortality of the human soul!!! Your hosts, Tyler Fowler and Joshua Davidson are wrapping up our study on Conditional Immortality and Eternal Conscious Punishment so we decided to bring our two friends, Robert Wiesner (Pastor at Kenmore Baptist Church and Chris Date (Host of the Rethinking Hell podcast) finally back on for one last showdown!!!
Josh and I begin the episode with questions for both Robert and Chris like âWhat set you on your journey with this topic?â and âWhat is missing from the other side that would convince you of the truth of your opponents position?â
\n\nAfter brief introductions of the two positions, Chris and Robert nuance differences and similarities of their views of the immortality of the human soul, resurrection of the dead and eternal life. After an exciting back and forth, the two get into an exegetical debate on the content of Luke 20:35-36 and the fate of the resurrected righteous!
\n\nAfter hashing out the details of the text we begin to wind down, and end the show with Josh raising one last theological question: âIs the âImage of Godâ retained in the resurrected wicked?â. Guess youâre going to have to listen to the episode for the answer from both Robert and Chris on this one!
\n\nOverall, as Robert put it after the episode off air âA lot of MEAT on them bones!â to which I wholeheartedly agree! This will be the last installment (for a while anway ;) ) of our Conditional Immortality and Eternal Conscious Punishment series! Make sure to check out ALL our episodes on this topic with Chris, Robert and Ross Burns either in CSGâs episode archive or our playlist on YouTube! God bless and enjoy!

We never know whoâs watching us during times of temptation and suffering. May we as Christians testify to the goodness of God by our actions so people may see the Image of God and Jesus Christ in us and glorify the God of Heaven!

On this episode of CSG, J.D. Martin (Exploring Theology) joins Joshua Davidson and myself as we seek to answer questions raised by Dr. Leighton Flowers (Soteriology 101) concerning what it means for God to âpermitâ events that happen in reality from the Reformed/Calvinist perspective. This leads to an in-depth discussion on the topic with answers to questions like âWhat do Calvinists mean when they use terms like âpermitâ, âdecreeâ, & âcauseâ?â and âDo ALL Calvinists hold to what is philosophically known as âdeterminismâ?â
\n\nAfter a good 35 min back-and-forth between J.D. and Josh, establishing the fact that some Calvinists do indeed hold to the idea of âcontra-causal freewillâ (and not the picture that Determinism as a whole paints), we arrive at the question âis the ability to do otherwise a necessary ingredient for moral culpability?â and how does this interact with Calvinism and Reformed Theology. Hint...the answer has to do with us being âin Adamâ. Guess youâll have to check out the episode to hear J.D.âs explanation!!!
\n\nUltimately I believe both Josh and J.D.âs interaction with each other brought A LOT of clarity in this discussion between Calvinists and Non-Calvinists alike. It was friendly, in-depth and like I said, extremely clarifying in answering the questions raised by Dr. Flowers and others on this topic in general! If this is a topic you are currently studying I highly recommend this episode! God bless!

Robert Wiesner is back for part 2 of our discussion on the nature of Hell! We examine Scripture as well as other Second Temple texts like Enoch, Jubilees, etc to answer the question of what happens to the resurrected wicked in Hell! Are they punished forever? Are they annihilated? Are there more questions to be asked? Join us as we dive into this debate concerning Christian eschatology to find out more!

In this episode we sit down with Stuart Brogden and Ian Renwick to discuss the differences between New Covenant Theology (NCT) and Mid-Acts Dispensationalism (MAD). We begin with a 10 min opening statement for NCT given by Stuart, followed by Ian's 10 min opening statement for MAD. The two then have an open, free flowing discussion concerning primarily God's redemptive plan and how that works over the course of history!
\n\nThis is a lively episode so be sure to listen carefully to both gentlemen and definitley take some more time to research each position thoroghly if you are still studying these two perspectives! A LOT is covered in this episode but still more must be said! We plan on narrowing down the discussion to specific points in our "pt 2" (sometime in the future, Lord Willing) but overall this is a good introduction to both systems of thought and at least one of the primary points of contention is brought out here!

On this episode of CSG we are discussing the human soul! What is the Biblical understanding of what we call the âsoulâ, is the soul immortal and what are the implications of the soulâs immortality (or mortality) on Judgment Day?? Iâve asked Chris Date, from Rethinking Hell, to join us again on CSG to help give some biblical answerâs to these questions and more!
\n\nPassages from both Old and New Testament books as well as extrabiblical literature are examined to develope a more complete understanding of what ancient Jews and the disciples of Jesus Christ understood to be the truth concerning the fate of the righetous and the wicked, after in "the world to come"! Some of the texts expounded in this epidsode include:
\n\nGenesis 19
\nIsaiah 24, 25, 26, 27
\nMatthew 10:28, 25:46
\nLuke 12:4-5, 20:35-36
\nRomans 6:5-9
\n1 Timothy 6:16
\n2 Peter 2:4-6
\nRevelation 14:9-11, 18:1-24, 19:1-3
\n2 Esdras (4th Ezra) 2:8-14
Chris and I also explore what the Bible means by the terms "immortal", "life", & "death", as well as dig into concepts of Greek mythology like "Tartarus"! Eternal Concious Torment arguments are examined as well and addressed in this episode!
\n\nFor anyone interested in the soul or conditional immortality, this is a great introductory episode to begin your study on this topic! MUCH MORE needs to be said and is in this episode but, Lord willing, God will arrange things in such a way that we will be blessed to continue this discussion in a part 2 episode or with a positve case for the Eternal Concious Torment perspective!
\n\nA big thanks to Chris for participating and if you all are interested in more of his videos you can find his YouTube channel here:

\n\nA.W. Pink quote from "Eternal Punishment":
\nâ...Gehenna is the place in which both soul and body are destroyed. "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna" (Matt. 19:28 [sic]). This passage is most important, for more than any other it enables us to gather the real scope of this term. The fact that the "soul" as well as the body is destroyed there, is proof positive that our Lord was not referring to the valley of Hinnom. So, too, the fact that the "body" is destroyed there, makes it certain that "Gehenna"is not another name for "Hades." In pondering this solemn verse we should remember that "destroy" does not mean to annihilate. Some have raised a quibble over the fact that Christ did not here expressly say that God would "destroy both soul and body in hell," but merely said "Fear Him which is able to. " This admits of a simple and conclusive reply. Surely it is apparent on the surface that Christ is not here predicating of God a power which none can deny, but which, notwithstanding, He will never exert! He was not simply affirming the omnipotence of God, but uttering a solemn threat which will yet be executed. That such was His meaning is established beyond the shadow of doubt when we compare Matthew 10:28 with the parallel passage in Luke 12:5: "But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear him." This threat we know will be fulfilled.â
Charles Hodge quote from his Systematic Theology Vol. 3 p. 759:
\n"If the Bible says that the sufferings of the lost are to be everlasting, they are to endure forever, unless it can be shown either that the soul is not immortal or that the Scriptures elsewhere teach that those sufferings are to come to an end."
On CSGâs 50th episode we invited special guestâs Ty Brillhart and Austin Griffin on to talk about angels and aliens! With the current buzz in mainstream media and news reports on government âufoâ documentâs to be released in less than a month (June 2021), I figured no better time than now to give this topic a whirl and discuss extraterrestrialâs from a Christian perspective! Do alienâs exist? Is there a possible connection between e.t. and angelâs like the âseraphimâ and âcherubimâ mentioned in texts like Genesis and Ezekiel? Do demonâs play a part in all of this? Where do I find comfort in times of uncertainty? How does human beings being made in âGodâs Imageâ (Imago Dei) impact this topic?
\n\nNo matter what, we can find comfort in God because He holds everything together in the palm of His Hand. No matter what, nothing will EVER separate us from the love of God.
\n\nAt the end of the day, Christians MUST line every claim up to Scripture, stand firm in the TRUTH, and rest in God. Paul reminds us in the 1st chapter of Galatians:
\n\n8 But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell! 9 As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell!
\n\nGod bless and enjoy CSGâs big 5-0!!!

\n\nWHAT IS SOME ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE TO SOMEONE INTERESTED IN ENGAGING IN APOLOGETICS OR EVANGELISM FOR THE FIRST TIME? (1 Peter 3:15)
\n\nIt's ESSENTIAL one understands the fundamentals of the Christian faith BEFORE practicing Christian apologetics.
\n\n"The heart of apologetics is not about mastering or memorizing a set of techniques designed to manipulate arguments to get the desired conclusion. It is about being MASTERED by the Christian faith so that its ideas, themes and values are deeply imprinted on our minds and in our hearts."
\n~Alister McGrath
WHAT IS THE REMEDY FOR POSTMODERNISM?
\n\nBiblical Apologetics:
\n1) Acts 2:14-36 - Peter's Pentecostal Address
\n2) Acts 7:1-60 - Stephen's Final Address
\n3) Acts 10:1-48 - Peter & Cornelius
\n4) Acts 17:16-34 - Paul at Athens in the Areopagus
Notice the difference in approaches between Peter and Paul in Acts 2 & 17!
\n\nChurch Apologists in History:
\n1) Justin Martyr 100-165
\n2) Tatian 120-173
\n3) Irenaeus 135-200
\n4) Tertullian 160-230
\n5) Eusebius of Caesarea 260-340
\n6) John Chrysostom d. 407
\n7) Augustine 354-430

In this episode of CSG we are joined by Joshua "Jimmy" Davidson and Travis worth to discuss why submission, obedience and worship are all important aspects of the Christian life!
\n\nShow Notes Posted Below:
\n(Travisâ Topic) Obedience, Submission & Worship w/ Joshua Davidson & Travis Worth
Is God in the âbadâ thingâs that happen in my life?
\n\nTravis leads off this discussion with the reasonâs why he chose obedience, submission, and worship to discuss this time on CSG, especially when we all find ourselves loosing passion in times of trouble.
\n\nHow does obedience effect joy?
\n\nWhen was the last time you remember explicitly obeying a request from an elder or leader in your local church?
\n\nWhen we obey leaders, we obey Scripture
\n\nWhen was the last time you felt the Holy Spirit work in your heart?
\n\nRomans 12:11 (go when you donât want to; see Philippians 2:13)
\n\nWhat is the difference between obedience and submission?
\n\nDifference between blind submission and willful submission.
\n\nJonah
\n\nCommandments are tools for shaping us like Christ.
\n\nBe Holy for I am Holy.
\n\nSubmission leads to worship.
\n\nDeep worship leads to high reverence of God.
\n\nJoy is transcendent in nature (Jesus said I leave my peace with you) despite feelings.
\n\nRomans 10:9

\n\nKey Points to Take Away:
\n ⢠It is the Believerâs job to be loving.
\n ⢠It is the Churchâs job to disciple.
\n ⢠There are numerous reasonâs once professing Christianâs fall away.
\n ⢠There is a difference between âprofessing Christianâsâ and âregenerated Christianâsâ.
\n ⢠Donât let anyone interfere with your relationship with Jesus.
\n ⢠Be accountable.
\n ⢠Be transparent.
\n ⢠Live like Jesus.
On this âclose to homeâ episode of CSG Travis Worth sets down with us to discuss how to practically overcome sexual sin. We begin this one with Matthew 5 and giving an exposition of Jesusâs words in the Sermon on the Mount when He speaks concerning adultery within oneâs heart. After a brief exposition of the Sermon, Noah and Travis then get into the kinds of struggles with this particular sin that they have faced! The team then answerâs questions like âIs this simply biological warfare we must engage with, or is there a spiritual side to fighting this sin as wellâ and, âHow do we live a God centered life when noticing temptation starting to rise and beginning to take control of usâ?
\n\nWe then move on to Mark 7 to show how all types of sin, not just sexual, begin in the heart. To start fighting sin, we MUST begin with the heart, therefore we must begin with the Gospel. God gives us His Holy Spirit, not only to save and seal us for the Day of Redemption, but so that we can begin overcoming sin with the SAME POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD! This is so important in the Christian faith that we could not pass up speaking concerning this very thing!
\n\nI must say at this point the same thing Travis brings up next. SEX IS A GOOD THING. We have perverted something good that God has given us in marriage, so what can we do about it now? We FIGHT!
\n\nWe wrap up the show with more practical steps that ANYONE can begin implementing tonight in your battle with sexual sin and not only that, but really any sin or temptation you are currently struggling with! This episode is PACKED with practical, biblical, content that will help YOU begin your journey in overcoming this devilish sin that goes against our very body itself! May God bless you all on your endeavors to become like the Messiah Jesus Himself!

The goal of CSG episode 041 is twofold: namely, one, that stereotypes of drug addicts or addiction in general would be rightly understood, and two, this conversation would give both addicts and non-addicts in the church better tools to work with to engage drug addiction in the Church...and out.
\n\nMichael leads us in giving his testimony concerning his experience using opiateâs. (Side note: beginning like a lot of addicts, Michael began using, not to âget highâ but for post surgery rehabilitation. In pain, Michael took pain pills for comfort. This is my (Tyler) story as well. This seems to be a common denominator amongst many of those who end up becoming addicted to opiates especially.)
\n\nNoah then asks a great question about whether or not Mike had a walk with Jesus at all during this time in his life and if so, how did that effect Mikeâs decisionâs and possibly even outcome of his addiction?
\n\nFor the addict we answer questions like âHow do I reach out if Iâm struggling with drug addiction to my church or familyâ and âWhat if I have been hurt before by the church and donât trust very wellâ and for those who havenât been pierced by this particular arrow from Satanâs quiver, âWhat can I do if I know someone struggling with drug use or addiction in generalâ (there is a difference between âdrug useâ and âactive addictionâ)?
\n\nThis is important for the local church . âWhat is the appropriate heart to approach the addict with?â What ultimately drives a person to do what they do? Using the gospel to attack the root of drug addiction, sin, is how we fight this but do we put the gospel first, or is it central?
\n\nMike and I then get into what addicts actually experience when going through âwithdrawalsâ and give and addict POV for those who have never experienced this âHELLâ those addicted to anything like this have probably experienced in one form or another and what we do, just to feel ânormalâ
\n\nA lot more is discussed in this episode in detail about drug addiction, even going on to answer the question âWhat happens when trust is broken between two people confided in each other to help?â but I would like to end with some practical steps those who are struggling with this particular sin and those who are feeling a desire to help someone in this situation can apply:
\n\nOn this weeks episode of CSG, Tyler invites his pastor, Bruce Seivers, on for a discussion about simply, how to fight sin! Scripture is expounded and "how to" steps are given to begin overcoming sin and becoming more like Jesus tonight!
\n\nSanctification is not an instantaneous thing that just happens overnight, rather a process that continues, in my opinion anyway, into eternity!
\n\nWe have been given eternal life now, and we are commanded by our Lord and Savior to "be holy", but where we begin? Are there any steps we can take to actually defeat these sins that so easily conquer us and sinful habits we've been so accustomed to over the years? Can we, in this flesh, become perfect? Also what did Jesus and the apostles do when they were tempted to sin and how did they overcome?
\n\nAs Bruce and I tackle these questions and more on our 40th episode of CSG may we all remember that in trusting Jesus with salvation as a whole, we can also trust Him to sanctify us by the power of the same Holy Spirit who raised Him from the dead!
