  • Hell or the Holy City
    Jan 27 2026

    It's a new year, but the same questions are burning in people's hearts, and Hell is one topic that never stops causing a stir. Though emotionally, this can be a difficult topic, it is one the Bible doesn't shy away from. So what are we to make of things like universalism or annihilation? Is eternal punishment fair? How important is this to the Gospel? We answer all these questions and more in our first episode of 2026.

  • Christmas: Holy or Holey Tradition?
    Dec 16 2025

    Along with the snow, eggnog, and music that begins this time of year, there also comes an uptick in claims that Christmas is pagan and that we should not celebrate it. How should we navigate such concerns or rumours? In this episode, we briefly look at the background of various Christmas traditions and discuss a Christian way to approach this holiday.

  • Are We Also Among the Prophets?
    Dec 2 2025

    As Christians, we believe in miracles, but do we believe in them for today? Or is that even the right question? In the popular and passionate discussion around spiritual gifts, one might think we're arguing over whether the Holy Spirit still does anything these days, but that is not the case. In this episode, we dive into the debate between cessationism and continuationism, and aim to demonstrate God's glorious purpose in both the distribution of gifts and the temporal nature of signs.
