The Reliability of the Fourth Gospel (This Is Huge)
Gavin Ortlund examines the historical reliability of the Gospel of John, considering its date, relationship to the Synoptic Gospels, and theological purpose while exploring reasons to take seriously its claim to preserve reliable historical testimony about Jesus.

When Progressive Logic Collapses: Reacting to Viral TikToks | Monique Duson & Phoenix Hayes
In this episode, I’m joined by Monique Duson and Phoenix Hayes to react to viral clips about abortion, progressive Christianity, gender ideology, and more. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when we dive deep into spiritual warfare. How do Christians discern what is actually demonic? Are we supposed to rebuke demons, engage them, or simply ignore them? And what does it look like to take spiritual warfare seriously without seeing a demon behind every bush? We also talk about the deeper issue underneath so many of today’s cultural battles: What does it mean to be a human person created in the image of God? From abortion to transgender ideology, we explore what happens when our culture loses a coherent foundation for answering that question. This conversation went places none of us expected—and it gets practical, theological, and pretty hilarious along the way.

Doctrine of The Last Things Part 10: The Delay of Christ's Return? || Defenders LIVE!
Defenders LIVE! // Doctrine of The Last Things pt 10: The Delay of Christ's Return? // We have some very puzzling sayings of Jesus that seem to suggest that he was predicting his return within the lifetime of his hearers. This problem is known as the delay of the parousia. How can we best deal with this problem?

Does Complementarianism Mean Women Can't Go Directly to God?
Is it true that complementarian theology teaches that women must go through a man to reach God? Alisa Childers sets the record straight. The Bible explicitly teaches the priesthood of all believers, meaning every single Christian (male or female) has direct access to God through Jesus Christ. Any teaching that places a human intermediary between a woman and God is completely unbiblical. #Complementarianism #TheologyMatters #WomenInTheChurch

The False Gospel of Empathy
Are we supposed to have empathy for the darkness? Former occultist Jac Marino warns about the demonic lie that teaches us we should "embrace" and empathize with dark, supernatural forces. While Christians are called to have deep compassion for people who are oppressed, we are never called to empathize with demons or spiritual darkness.
