Waiting on God or Killing the Text?

Theology Central ·

2026/01/24

In a previous episode we carefully studied Psalm 62:1 in its context. In this episode, we go back and review the short sermon that originally sparked that study and ask a simple question: does this message actually explain the text, or does it turn the text into something else?

Psalm 62:1: Waiting on God

Theology Central ·

2026/01/24

Psalm 62:1 is often used as a generic call to patience and trust—but is that what the verse is actually saying? In this episode, we slow down and read Psalm 62:1 in its literary, historical, and covenant context and discover that this is not about waiting for God to fix our personal circumstances, but about David and Israel waiting on God to fulfill His promises.

76 Questions and 5 Layers: How to Read the Bible

Theology Central ·

2026/01/23

We often talk about asking questions of the Bible—but are we asking the right ones? This episode uses a recent article on curiosity in the Christian life as a springboard to introduce The Five Layers of Reading Any Biblical Text, a simple framework for learning how to actually listen to Scripture before jumping to application.

The Flood Problem

Theology Central ·

2026/01/23

In The Flood Problem –we ask why the flood happened and why the standard explanation doesn't actually work. If the flood was meant to deal with human sin, why does sin immediately explode again after it's over? And why does the New Testament connect the flood to imprisoned spirits who were disobedient in Noah's day? By working carefully through Genesis 6, this episode shows that the flood story begins with something far more disturbing than we are usually told—and that the real problem has never

What Happened to Fundamentalism Pt 2

Theology Central ·

2026/01/22

After seeing in Part 1 how a 1988 sermon exposed a deep hermeneutical collapse, this episode steps back and asks a bigger question: what was fundamentalism originally, and how did it become what it is today?

Movie: The Long Walk

Theology Central ·

2026/01/22

In this episode, I discuss the 2025 film The Long Walk and why it affected me so deeply. After summarizing the movie and its story, I reflect on how it becomes a powerful picture of life itself—endurance, exhaustion, suffering, and what eventually breaks people. This is not a traditional movie review, but a personal and philosophical meditation on what it means to keep going in a world that slowly wears us down.

What Happened to Fundamentalism Pt 1

Theology Central ·

2026/01/21

Using a 1988 sermon as our starting point, this episode asks a disturbing question: what if the sermon itself is part of the problem? Before debating methods or results, we examine how Scripture is being used—and what that reveals about what had already gone wrong inside fundamentalism.

John 5:28-29: Resurrection of Damnation

Theology Central ·

2026/01/20

In John 5:28–29, Jesus makes one of His most staggering claims: all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—some to the resurrection of life, and some to the resurrection of damnation. In this episode, we examine whether Jesus is deliberately using Daniel 12:2 as His framework, whether Daniel is the interpretive key to this passage, and what the phrase "resurrection of damnation" actually means

1 Peter 3:21: Baptism

The Flood and Baptism

Theology Central ·

2026/01/19

The Flood and Baptism takes a careful look at 1 Peter 3:18–22—the only New Testament passage that directly connects the story of Noah's flood to Christian theology. Instead of repeating the familiar claim that "the ark is a picture of Christ," this episode follows Peter's actual argument and shows that he does something far stranger: he connects the floodwaters to baptism. Along the way, we explore the context of 1 Peter, why Peter brings up Noah at all, what he means when he says "baptism now saves

A 1974 Warning

Theology Central ·

2026/01/18

In 1974, a preacher warned that Christians were already abandoning real Bible study in favor of shallow preaching and random reading. In this episode, we examine that sermon and discover how accurately it describes the state of the church today—and how little has changed in 50 years.

When A Church Dies

Theology Central ·

2026/01/17

Churches in America close every week, usually quietly and without much notice. In this episode, we look at what it actually means when a church comes to an end. Using a recently featured "sermon" that is really a congregational meeting about a church on the brink of closure — and reflecting on the recent end of my own church

Why Daniel 12:2 Comes So Late?

Theology Central ·

2026/01/15

Daniel 12:2 is the first—and last—clear Old Testament passage to explicitly teach resurrection and judgment after death. So why does such a crucial doctrine appear so late in Israel's Scriptures?

Ruth 2:4-7: Workday

Theology Central ·

2026/01/14

Ruth 2 does not move with speeches or miracles—it moves with a workday. In this episode, we walk through Ruth 2:4–7 as Boaz arrives at his fields, notices a stranger, and asks a simple question that begins to shift the direction of the story. We watch how the narrator introduces Boaz, how Ruth is described by others before she ever speaks, and how nothing is resolved yet—only observed. This is not the moment of redemption. It is the quiet beginning of attention, recognition, and possibility, set in

The Most Dangerous Sentence in a Sermon

Theology Central ·

2026/01/14

A single, harmless-sounding sentence can determine an entire theology before a sermon ever opens the Bible. In this episode, we examine how one unchallenged assumption about the world, God, and history quietly reshapes the gospel into something very different—and why our starting points matter more than we think.
