  • How the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy Still Shapes Evangelicalism Today

    How the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy Still Shapes Evangelicalism Today
    Mar 29 2026
    Why does the evangelical church have so little influence on culture today? To get to that answer, we must understand the last 120 years of American Protestant history, back to the fundamentalist-modernist controversy of the late 1800s/early 1900s. In this powerful conversation on the Ideas Have Consequences podcast, Scott D. Allen and I walk you through the history that shaped modern evangelicalism. This is a call for renewal, not retreat or cultural accommodation. My hope is that leaders will return to a distinctly biblical approach to culture, education, justice, and discipleship. This is essential history for anyone who wants to understand progressive Christianity, deconstruction, and doctrinal drift in evangelical institutions. Learn how we got here and what it will take to chart a better way forward. 👉 Recommended: The episode that inspired this discussion: “Biola’s Founders Fought Modernism. Will Today’s Leaders Fight Postmodernism?” 👉 Recommended: My podcast series, "The Biola Chronicles"

    Why I'm Still Protestant – Navigating Tradition & Scripture, part 2
    Mar 23 2026
    I continue my series on why I remain Protestant after over a decade of serious study and reflection on Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. I unpack four key definitions of "tradition" that I think fit within a Protestant framework. If you're wrestling with these questions or want clarity for family conversations, this is for you. God willing, part 3 will come out the following week. #Protestant #SolaScriptura #Tradition #Catholicism #EasternOrthodoxy #Theology #ChristianApologetics #BibleTeaching

  • A Classical Protestant View of Tradition

    A Classical Protestant View of Tradition
    Mar 16 2026
    One of the most common questions that I get these days is, What is the relationship between Scripture and tradition? This is often prompted by followers who are beginning to explore conversion to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy or have children who are. I am finally sharing my public answer to this question after a decade of study and dialogue. In this first teaching, I explain the problem and survey the major New Testament passages used by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists to make their case for tradition and to undermine the classical Protestant view of sola scriptura. #SolaScriptura #Tradition #Catholic #Orthodox #Protestant

    Grassroots Apologetics: How Three Moms Are Equipping the Next Generation
    Jan 26 2026
    In this episode, Krista Bontrager interviews three ordinary moms who stepped up with basic apologetics training to equip families and defend the faith: Jen Beitel started a local family ministry (U.N.I.T.E.D.), Alicia Moss teaches women in her church on cultural issues, and Michelle Lazor curates wholesome, worldview-aligned books through her online book club, Mud Hen Mama. This is an inspiring look at how everyday believers—no PhDs required—are making a real difference for the Kingdom of God.
