I have been producing several new podcasts for The Perspectivalist, including a new experiment on video. Check out my newest releases:

*Season 4, Episode 15, How the Grinch Stole Advent (A 30-Minute Conversation with Dr. Alistair Roberts)

This episode looks at the Season of Advent with new eyes; contemplating its proper place in the Calendar of the Church. Advent precedes Christmas because the emotional and normative demands the meditation of promise before fulfillment.

*Subscriber-Only Episode: My Response to Lecrae’s View of the Church (17 minutes)

This episode is available to Anchor and Substack subscribers, and it is a video overview of Lecrae’s recent screed against the Church. It’s my first try at it, so be generous. If it proves successful, I’d love to offer all subscribers more of these commentaries (see the link in the comment section).

*Season 4, Episode 14: Giving Thanks Like a Christian (9 minutes)

This episode is a short overview of the theology of gratitude and the presuppositions behind it. Appropriate for the recent Thanksgiving season but applicable for all seasons.

*Season 4, Episode 13: Samson: God’s Misunderstood Hero

This episode offers a succinct look at Samson’s life. I still believe he is one of the most misunderstood Priests in the Bible. I look at three features of Samson’s life to consider: a) his sexual desires, b) his Nazaritic vow, and c) his messianic nature. For those interested in the Samson story, this is the perfect offering.

I am grateful to George Reed for the editing and intro/outro music.

Scott Aniol is a gentleman and a scholar. He is also one of those voices that I think need to be heard in our day, especially concerning the proper place of the Psalms in the life of the Church. This past year he has been embroiled in a few back and forth with Christian Nationalism and Christendom advocates. Those debates have offered some clarity, but not as much clarity as I would like to see.

In this 45-minute interview, I sit down with Scott in Monroe, LA, to discuss the role of the Psalms in worship and then transition to some of our eschatological differences and how these perspectives shape our understanding of present political discourse.

My goal–and Scott’s as well–is to provide an environment where we can discuss our differences with soberness and then find common ground to move forward as faithful men in this present cultural darkness.

Audio quality is superb thanks to the labors of Jarrod Richey, and the intro and outro music is from the talented George Reed.

Our Perspectivalist Subscribers get access to my recent podcast, where I discuss the mode of baptism.

While there is a lot of debate on the recipients of baptism, what does the Bible say about the mode? Does the Old Testament play a role in shaping how we apply water? Is the case for immersion so clear that any alternative is irrelevant?

In this subscriber episode, I offer a vision for a mode of baptism rooted in the language of the Old and New Testament.

***New Perspectivalist Episode***

This is the longest episode I have done so far! I wanted to offer an accessible episode focusing on the nature of Gnosticism and how it has crept into the Church today. The episode delves into its origin, its leader, Marcion, and the evangelical absorption of gnostic thought in worship and practice. I conclude the episode by discussing ways to rid ourselves of this monster.

Warning: Nacho references and gnostic singing included! Not for the faint of heart.

What happens when you explore Mr. Collins’ character in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice?” The answer is that you gain an accurate critique of high-churchism; a Collins syndrome that offers the epitome of boredom to those in attendance.

In this episode, I explore the nature of high-churchism and how to criticize your own people with a dose of mockery. Listen at your own risk!

“There is plenty to mock in the pastor-as-CEO business-tie combo. It conveys little seriousness and glory, but I think we should spend most of our time mocking the high-churchism of gay egalitarianism robed in white outwardly and spandex beneath.”
