  • If Everything Is in Italics, Nothing Is in Italics

    If Everything Is in Italics, Nothing Is in Italics
    Jun 5 2026
    In this episode, Michael reflects on passion, conviction, and the danger of treating every issue as if it deserves the same level of intensity. In a culture where outrage gets clicks and every disagreement becomes a battlefield, Christians must recover a proper hierarchy of passion.

    Drawing from John Wesley's famous line about setting oneself on fire, Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 15 about matters "of first importance," and the reminder that "we see in a mirror dimly," Michael explores how conviction and humility belong together. The goal is not less passion, but better-ordered passion, with Christ and the Gospel occupying the most prominent place at the table.

  • 83 - Through Theology in a Year - The Inspiration of Scripture

    83 - Through Theology in a Year - The Inspiration of Scripture
    May 29 2026
    In this session of Through Theology in a Year, we begin our study of one of the most foundational doctrines in all of Christianity: the inspiration of Scripture. What does it mean when Christians say the Bible is "God-breathed"? Does inspiration reside in the authors, the message, the readers, or the very words of Scripture itself? And why has this doctrine become such a defining issue within evangelical theology?

    In this lesson, we examine the biblical meaning of inspiration, paying special attention to Paul's use of the word theopneustos in 2 Timothy 3:16. We explore the major theories of inspiration, discuss where inspiration properly resides, and introduce the historic doctrine of Verbal Plenary Inspiration. Along the way, we consider the testimony of the early Church, the uniqueness of the Bible among all books ever written, and the implications of inspiration for biblical authority and trustworthiness.

    Understanding inspiration is essential because it serves as the foundation for everything we believe about Scripture. Before we can discuss inerrancy, authority, interpretation, or application, we must first answer a more basic question: What exactly is the Bible, and how did it come to us?

  • 82 - Through Theology in a Year - Bible Translations

    82 - Through Theology in a Year - Bible Translations
    May 19 2026
    In this session of Through Theology in a Year, we explore one of the most important and misunderstood topics in modern Christianity: Bible translations. Why are there so many English Bibles? Why do some translations sound more literal while others read more naturally? And what are translators actually trying to accomplish when they create a new version of Scripture?

    In this lesson, we walk through the three major questions every translation committee must answer and examine the major approaches to translation philosophy, including formal equivalence, dynamic equivalence, and paraphrase. Along the way, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each method and provide examples of popular translations that fit within each category.

    Whether you are trying to choose a Bible for study, devotion, teaching, or outreach, this session will help you better understand the translation spectrum and the philosophy behind the English Bible in your hands.
