    81 - Through Theology in a Year - The Self-Authentication of Scripture
    Nov 18 2025
    #81 - The Self-Authentication of Scripture In this episode, we explore what it means to say that Scripture is self-authenticating. If God is the highest authority, then His Word does not require validation from any external source. Drawing from Calvin’s understanding of the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit, we examine why divine revelation stands on its own authority. We walk through Deuteronomy 13, Deuteronomy 18, and Exodus 20:3 to build a biblical framework for recognizing God’s voice. Together, these passages form a clear foundation for understanding how God confirms His own Word. This session continues our journey through theology in a year as we ground our confidence not in shifting human institutions, but in the authority of God Himself.

    1 - Through Theology in a Year - Miracles (Pilot Episode)
    Nov 18 2025
    #1 - Miracles (Pilot Episode) This is the pilot episode introducing our new journey through Craig S. Keener’s monumental two-volume work **Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts**. In this opening session, we talk through why this study matters, how we'll approach it in community, and what makes the topic of miracles so compelling—especially for those of us who sit in the non-charismatic tradition yet remain deeply curious. We explore how Keener frames the global reality of miracle claims, the philosophical assumptions we often bring to the table, and why reevaluating this topic can strengthen—not weaken—our understanding of God’s work in the world. This pilot also lays out the goals for the series: honest inquiry, careful theology, and a place where questions can breathe.

    80 - Through Theology in a Year - The Canon of Scripture Is Not Closed
    Nov 11 2025
    #80 - The Canon of Scripture Is Not Closed Did God ever close the canon of Scripture? In this episode, we explore how the biblical canon was formed-not by decree, but by recognition. From Moses to the apostles, revelation carried its own authority, needing no council to validate it. The canon was accepted organically, as God's people simply received what He had spoken. We also discuss whether the canon is technically closed or only practically so, and why Protestants-unlike any other tradition-are uniquely free to examine the evidence and follow it wherever it leads, even engaging honestly with the Apocrypha. The Church never shut the door on revelation; God simply quit speaking.
