    Predestination Is Sick! In this episode, we discuss Steven Paulson’s book, The Outlaw God, focusing our conversation on double presentation, preaching God’s electing promise to sinners, and the consequences of worshipping a philosophical-material god. What are the consequences for people who don’t have a preacher of God’s promise? What does God’s promise have to say to those who believe all people will go to heaven when they die? What are the consequences for sinners when they try to know God apart from the promise?

    Your Guilt Is Misplaced. In this episode, we discuss Robert Capon’s book, The Foolishness of Preaching. We focus on Capon’s argument for why death and resurrection must be preached for a sermon to be rightly called a Christian sermon, for it to be a Gospel proclamation, and the consequences for preachers who avoid addressing sin, death, and forgiveness of sins.

    Let’s Not Talk About Love. In this episode, we discuss R.C. Sproul’s Christmas sermon wherein he preaches on the Gospel of Luke chapter 2. The espresso kicked in early, and we read through the whole sermon before diving deep into the distinction between exposition and proclamation, so buckle up. Riley talks too much while Gillespie exercises patience and restraint.
