    Hold the Pattern

    Can you trust the Church to give you the truth? Hold the Pattern is where the hard questions of faith get honest, credible answers. Each week, Dr. Jack Graham, a pastor of fifty years, and Jeremiah Johnston, PhD, a working scholar, sit down with the scholars, pastors, athletes, and cultural voices shaping the moment and dig into what Scripture says.

    Apologetics, culture, the local church, and what is true anymore: nothing is off the table, and no answer is left vague. This is biblical truth you can hold onto and pass on, carried by two generations who refuse to water it down.

    The name is our charge, from Paul to Timothy: hold on to the pattern of sound teaching (2 Timothy 1:13). If you believe but hunger for depth, and are tired of not knowing whom to trust, this is your show. New conversations every Monday. Hold the Pattern.

    Freedom Is Not a Formula | Allen Parr Oct 19, 2026
    Show notes

    Allen Parr built a ten-year YouTube ministry teaching Christians to spot false doctrine by knowing the real thing cold, the way a teller spots a counterfeit bill by studying genuine currency. Jack Graham and Jeremiah Johnston, PhD run that method against tongues-as-salvation, the prosperity gospel, and Christian manifestation, then turn personal: Parr was single until 40 because of a "soul chain" he did not know he was carrying, and Graham answers the hardest question in the room, why some of the godliest people die young, with his own father's murder at 56.

    Books:

    • Breaking Through: How Ordinary Believers Experience Extraordinary Freedom, Allen Parr, Nelson Books, 2026
    • Misled: 7 Lies That Distort the Gospel and How to Discern the Truth, Allen Parr

    People referenced:

    • Jennifer Parr, Allen Parr's wife, married in 2015
    • Joshua Broome, friend of Parr's, former pornography-industry performer turned minister; met his wife Hope, they attend Hope Church and lead Hope Ministries
    • Charlie Kirk, the late Turning Point USA founder, discussed at length
    • Kathryn Krick, self-styled "Apostle Kathryn Krick," named by Parr as an example of prosperity-gospel and false-prophecy teaching

    What Keeps God at Bay? | Tony Evans Oct 19, 2026
    Show notes

    Tony Evans has been saying the same thing for fifty years: God limits his presence to the level of our unity. Jack Graham and Jeremiah Johnston, PhD press him on what that costs, and Evans answers with the deacons who told him not to come back, the three-part strategy he hands to churches who mean it, and what he felt holding a Tyndale Bible in white gloves with a curator standing over him.

    Nobody Had Ever Lost Control of a Spacecraft | Butch Wilmore Oct 19, 2026
    Show notes

    Butch Wilmore was flying a Boeing Starliner 300 meters from the space station when the fourth of eight aft thrusters failed, and no crewed spacecraft in history had ever lost that much control. He tells Jack Graham and Jeremiah Johnston, PhD what went through his mind, which was not a prayer for rescue but a calculation: dock or we may not get home. Eight days became 284. What he built his answer on, then and since, is Philippians 4, a Saturday-morning simulator nobody made him book, and a conviction that the aurora is a visible picture of God's protection of this planet.

    Books:

    • Stuck in Space: An Astronaut's Hope Through the Unexpected, Butch Wilmore, The Heirloom Press, 2026
    • Life's Emergency Procedures: A Pocket Checklist for Life, with Craig "Z" Ziemba
    • A devotional on the heavens, in manuscript. Wilmore says he used Psalm 8:3-4 in it two days before this recording.

    Scripture cited on air:

    • 2 Timothy 1:13, the show's name
    • John 3:27, Wilmore's stated favorite
    • Psalm 8:3-4, read aloud from Johnston's Bible
    • Psalm 19:1, Romans 1, Genesis 1:1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1
    • 2 Corinthians 11 and Philippians 4, on contentment
    • Isaiah 45:18, 2 Peter 3
    • Romans 14:1, the Disputable Matter frame

    People and places referenced:

    • Suni Williams, his Starliner crewmate, also a Navy test pilot
    • Providence Baptist Church, Pasadena, Texas, where he has been an elder 15 years
