  • What Is Liberalism?

    Episode 1701 Aired November 12, 2023 Listen Now

    When we hear the word “liberalism”, we often think of liberal politics. But Christianity and Liberalism has religion in mind. Machen shows what happens when liberalism is inserted into religion—it morphs into something completely different from biblical Christianity. So what makes it so appealing to theologians? In this episode of 鶹AV, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland define liberalism and dive into its distortion of Christianity.

  • Shall the Fundamentalists Win?

    Episode 1700 Aired November 5, 2023 Listen Now

    During the 1920s, American Pastor Harry Fosdick wrote a sermon called, “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” addressing the controversies he saw rising within American churches. As the ideas of Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche grew in cultural importance, they began to influence theologians as well. So, Fosdick argued, “The liberals must go.” In this episode of 鶹AV, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland take on the historical details of where fundamentalism came from, explaining how it weaved its way into the Church, and what happened after.

  • Identity in Christ

    Episode 1686 Aired July 30, 2023 Listen Now

    The secular world sees our identity as something that we achieve instead of receive. They take the brokenness of a fallen world and fashion it into identities in everything but Jesus Christ. So, how do we stand firm when the world pulls us to adopt these broken identities? How do we understand our natures in light of the God who carefully made us? In this episode of 鶹AV, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland break down what it means to live in Christ’s identity, not our own, and how we can firmly walk against the grain of our culture.   

  • Nature and Norms: Disentangling Created Essence from Social Stereotypes

    Episode 1685 Aired July 23, 2023 Listen Now

    Since the beginning of creation, God has called us his. We are made in his image, given life from his breath, and called good. In today’s culture of the idolized self, it often seems like the world wants us to forget what it means to be made by God, replacing his glorious image with identities fashioned by human imagination. But what does it really look like to belong to God and how do we reconcile the voices of nature, culture, and Scripture? In this new 鶹AV series, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland dive into the pressing question of what it means to be made in the image of God.

  • Where Did We Go Wrong?

    Episode 1684 Aired July 16, 2023 Listen Now

    If God made both man and woman in his image as partners in the good work of filling up and caring for the earth, why does society seem to pit men and women against each other? Both in the church and in broader secular culture, men and women seem to be in competition rather than working in partnership. Could this be the reason why so many people are steeped with anxiety, gender confusion, or addiction? In this episode of 鶹AV, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland wrestle with the challenges of today’s culture, misconceptions within the church, and how to get back to the truth of God’s word.

  • One Image: Male and Female

    Episode 1683 Aired July 9, 2023 Listen Now

    The conversation of gender identity seems to have swept into every crevice of our culture. From debating gender “norms” to questioning the concept of biological gender completely, society has demanded to have a say in how men and women should understand themselves and the roles they play. But what are the ramifications of allowing the world to tell what we are to be instead of Scripture? In this episode of 鶹AV, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland untangle the narrative of creation as male and female and the importance of the differences we have been given by our Creator.
