Catholic apologist Joe Heschmeyer just made a stunning admission — and he probably didn’t even realize it. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks reacts to Heschmeyer’s claim that the Bible’s canon was known long before it was ever “infallibly defined.” What does that mean for Rome’s argument that Protestants need an infallible Magisterium to know which books belong in Scripture? Jonathan breaks it all down with sharp analysis, historical insight, and a bit of irony that you won’t want to miss.

We love our heroes of the Reformation—Luther, Calvin, Knox, Zwingli—but if church history teaches us anything, it’s that even the greatest defenders of the gospel still needed the gospel themselves. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks reminds us that the same grace these men preached was the grace they depended on. Their flaws don’t discredit the Reformation; they magnify the mercy of God who saves sinners through faith in Christ alone. From the pride of reformers to the failures of modern Christians, Jonathan draws a straight line to the only One who never failed.

In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks digs deep into one of the most explosive truths of the Christian faith—justification by faith apart from works. While Rome insists grace must be earned through cooperation and merit, Scripture declares the opposite: that the sinner contributes nothing to salvation except the sin that made it necessary. Drawing from Paul’s letters, the Reformers, and the ongoing debates about faith and works, Jonathan explains why this “offensive” gospel is actually the best news imaginable.
If you’ve ever wondered why sola fide was worth dying for—or why it still divides the church today—this episode is for you.
