In this 2-part,bonus episode of Chorus in the Chaos, Jack is joined by Pastor David Chambers of Zion PCA in Lincoln, Nebraska, to discuss the critical topic of eldership in the church. Drawing from biblical texts like 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, and James 3:1, they examine eldership's qualifications, responsibilities, and its spiritual weight.

✔️ The dangers of the celebrity pastor culture
✔️ Why spiritual maturity matters more than leadership charisma
✔️ The importance of local church accountability
✔️ Practical steps for churches selecting elders

- Examples of blasphemy include flippant speech, misuse of Scripture, and irreverent worship.

In part 2 of our look at the dangers of social media, we look at how (if Christians are not careful), social media distracts us away from reality. As much as social media provides opportunities for growth, wisdom, and the advancement of the gospel, it remains a field of landmines. Also, Grayson does his best porky pig impression.

Happy New Year! We're back and continuing our trek through common struggles of the Christian Life. This time, we tackle a subject near to all of us: the dangers and pitfalls of social media. One by one, we discuss some common dangers and struggles that social media presents for Christians (and yes, the irony is not lost on us). Also, Jack proves he is unable to say normal words.

Having been a Calvinist for 20 years, I have heard many people offer proof texts of why Calvinism is not aligned with the teaching of Holy Scripture. However, none is more common than John 3:16. In this short, bonus episode Jack gives 3 reasons why John 3:16 does not refute Calvinism.

Nearly everyone on earth struggles with how to best manage their time, and Christians are no exception to that rule. Yet the time is short, and our calling is to live wisely in an extremely unwise age. Why then do we have such difficulty redeeming the time, even knowing this? Join Blake and Grayson as they discuss how we must start with a proper theology of time, rooted in the fear of the Lord. Then, and only then, can we develop principles of wisdom that will help us make the most of our days.

We also offer guidance and advice for Christians to live a sincere, genuine faith.

It is now clear that broad evangelicalism has largely miscalculated how to engage the youth with our evolving, sexualized culture. 30 years of emphasizing purity over faith and repentance, entertainment over meditation, and games over catechisms have left scars.

In this episode of TCITC Podcast, we start addressing the sensitive and polarizing topic of lust and sex. This time, we focus on building a theological solid and mortal foundation on sex and marriage. Also, we use the popular TV Show, 'Friends' as an example of how the culture has wrongly presented sex as something less than meaningless.

Jack, Blake, and Grayson discuss the common Christian struggle of fearing man over fearing God. When we fear man over God, we act in unbelief. This can occur in the fear of physical harm, career concerns, loss of possessions, etc. As Christians, we must aim to learn that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and the lens through which we see the world and its challenges.

In the final episode of this 4-part mini-series on Infant Baptism, Jack walks through several texts in the New Testament that evidence a Presbyterian, covenantal reading of the bible. Specifically, he focuses on texts that argue for the inclusion of children into the covenant community.

In part 3 of this mini-series on infant baptism, Jack continues to build the case for infant baptism by highlighting how the continuity of covenants (old and new) gives us grounds to interpret the doctrine and practice of baptism through the covenantal sign of circumcision.

In part 2 of this mini-series on infant baptism, Jack contrasts the two general frameworks by which Christians interpret scripture (covenantal and dispensational). In doing so, he lays the foundation for a covenantal reading of the bible and the understructure for the doctrine and practice of infant baptism.

In this episode, Blake, Jack, and Grayson look to God's Word for the portrait of biblical womanhood. We aim to define what a biblical woman is, what she does, what she doesn't do, and ultimately who her hope and faith are in (spoiler alert: it's Jesus). It may seem odd to some that 3 middle-aged men are tackling this subject, however, we know that God's Word is clear and stands on its own authority.

In this episode of the TCITC Podcast, Blake and Jack discuss the topic of biblical masculinity. What does it look like? How do we define it? How do we live it out? What examples do we have? In a culture where masculinity is often seen as toxic and bad, it's essential for Christians to understand what type of masculinity is sound, true, and biblical. Also, Jack references the movie "A Quiet Place" one too many times.

In this much-anticipated episode of the TCITC Podcast, Jack, Blake, and Grayson are joined by Professor Nancy Pearcey to discuss her new book, The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconicles the Sexes. Prof. Pearcey explains where the concept of Toxic Masculinity comes from and how it developed historically, and then uses some compelling data to make the case that Christians have a biblically based, empirically supported, healthy alternative. This is an episode you will not want to miss. Her new book will be out on June 27th. Pre-order it using the link above.
Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes,as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is a professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

As we approach the midpoint of season 2, this time we tackle the common struggle of contentment. Jack, Grayson, and Blake offer some insight into the struggle, the seriousness of the sin, and how one can learn to be content in the Lord's provision. Jeremiah Burroughs called it a "Rare Jewel"; we call it a "Super Power". Whatever you want to call it, know that it stems from a heart that has been changed by Christ.

After a few episodes of being split up, due to illness, Grayson, Blake, and Jack are back! This time, we tackle the topic/sin of greed. Despite being somewhat culturally acceptable, it is a very deadly sin. We discuss the sin itself, provide some questions for self-evaluation, and provide tips on overcoming this common struggle of the Christian Life. If there is some awkward timing and pauses, we apologize.; we had some intermittent internet issues. It does get much better as the episode goes on :)

As we wrap our discussion on church discipline, we focus this episode on the actual biblical model/process and the important (often overlooked) role church members are to play. Although formal church discipline is commissioned and carried by the church elders/pastors, members in good standing of that local community have a part as well. Also, Jack badly mispronounces a biblical name.
