  Episode #282

  What is Chalcedonian Christology?

  Aug 3, 202624 min

  If you enjoy thinking deeply about Christian theology, today’s episode is for you! Jonathan and James discuss the historic Council of Chalcedon, an ecumenical gathering convened for the principal purpose of reasserting the teachings of the ecumenical Council of Ephesus against the teachings of Eutyches and Nestorius. They explore the significance of the Chalcedonian definition which describes Christ as one person with two distinct natures—divine and human—united without confusion or separation. The conversation navigates through historical heresies while examining the legitimacy and implications of referring to Christ as a "composite person." Join them as they unpack these theological complexities and their relevance to a modern understanding of the Incarnation. Thanks to the generosity of Banner of Truth Publishing, we are pleased to offer two copies of The Glory of Christ by John Owen to our listeners. Enter here to win.

  Pilgrim's Progress, Part 12

  Jul 6, 202628 min

  The three J’s – Jonathan, James, and Jeff – continue their exploration of John Bunyan's classic, Pilgrim's Progress, exploring the themes of flattery, ignorance, and the challenges faced by Pilgrims on their journey to the Celestial City. The hosts discuss the dangers of being led astray by deceptive flatterers and the importance of remaining vigilant in faith, especially as one approaches the end of life. The closer we get to the Celestial City, the more important it becomes to rehearse those early dealings of God with us. – James Dolezal Today’s reflections emphasize the need for Christian companionship and the rehearsal of God's faithfulness in our lives. We should really be cultivating Christian friendships where we do actually discuss not just deep theological things, but also regularly rehearse the goodness and the kindness of God to us. – Jeff Stivason

  Reformed Confessionalism

  Jun 22, 202619 min

  Reformed Churches describe themselves as confessional, but what does that mean, and what does it matter? Blair Smith, president of the Charlotte campus of Reformed Theological Seminary, sits down with James and Jonathan today to answer these questions based on his new book, Reformed Confessionalism. Together, they explore the virtues of confessions and how historic confessions serve as guardrails for believers today. There are many Christians today, however, who are principally opposed to confessions. They think that confessions get in the way of our reading of the Bible. …I would say everybody has a confession, whether it's hidden or whether it's stated. We all have ways that we approach Scripture in which we understand the doctrine of Scripture. And what confessionalism does is it very clearly states what those doctrinal truths are. And it does so based on sort of the ritual of Christian tradition, whether that be ancient with the creeds or whether that be reformational with the Reformed confessions. – Blair Smith Discover why these doctrines are not just relics of the past but vital tools for understanding Scripture and nurturing a balanced faith in our contemporary world. We are pleased to offer listeners the opportunity to win a copy of Blair Smith’s book, Reformed Confessionalism, thanks to the generosity of P&R Publishing. Enter here to win.
