Christian Living in Cancel Culture: Interview with Keith Simon Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

Are you struggling with how to engage modern culture as a Christian? Feeling like a biblical worldview makes you an outsider in today’s society? You’re not alone. As the gap between Christian values and secular culture grows wider, many believers are wrestling with how to maintain their faith without becoming bitter, fearful, or compromising.
In this episode, we’re joined by Keith Simon, pastor, author and co-host of Ten Minute Bible Talks and TruthOverTribe, to explore biblical responses to cultural Christianity, cancel culture, and the growing hostility toward traditional Christian values. His new book “Joyful Outsiders” provides a gospel-centered approach to navigating contemporary issues while maintaining both biblical truth and Christian joy.
We’re exploring topics from Keith's book, including: • Biblical cultural engagement vs. culture war Christianity • How to respond to secular culture as a Christian • Practical ways to share your faith in a post-Christian world • Finding your role in God’s kingdom as a culture-shaper • Christian living in hostile environments • Gospel-centered responses to cultural issues • Biblical wisdom for modern cultural challenges
Keith identifies six biblical models for cultural engagement: the artist, the protestor, the builder, the advisor, the ambassador, and the trainer. Through these Scripture-based examples, we’ll discover how to maintain biblical faithfulness while effectively engaging our post-Christian culture.
Whether you’re dealing with workplace hostility to Christianity, navigating social media as a believer, or seeking biblical answers to cultural issues, this conversation will equip you with practical wisdom for being a faithful Christian witness in an increasingly secular world.
Join us as we explore how to be culture-changing Christians who maintain both biblical conviction and Christ-like compassion in today’s challenging cultural landscape.

Does Your Personality Shape Your Calling? Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Does your personality influence your calling? You know, those personality tests everyone’s taking… can they tell us anything about how God might use us in His kingdom?
This isn’t just about Myers-Briggs letters or Strengthsfinder results. It’s about understanding how God uniquely crafted you AND how He calls you. We’ve seen plenty of ministry books trying to crack this code, but what does Scripture actually say about it?
We’re breaking down: • God’s blueprint for our calling • When natural wiring meets divine purpose • Biblical keys for discerning your calling • Why getting this right changes everything • Real talk about personality tests in the church
We'll dive into the modern psychological application of the Munus Triplex—as seen in the works of theologians like John Frame and Vern Poythress and also the APEST model popularized by Allen Hirsh.
Whether you roll your eyes at personality tests or you’ve got your MBTI in your social media bio, this episode will challenge you to think biblically about God’s calling on your life. Join us as we navigate this intersection of personality and purpose - no personality quiz required!

Truth or Gossip? How to Navigate Allegations in the Church Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

In some of our recent episodes, we’ve addressed allegations of sin among notable pastors and Christian influencers, sparking an important question: Are we crossing the line into slander or gossip as we address these issues?
We’ve also observed pastors accused of wrongdoing using their sermons and platforms to label those discussing the allegations as agreeing with the "accuser of the brethren" or as gossipers spreading baseless claims.
The Bible, indeed, warns against the very real sins of slander and gossip.
Where is the biblical boundary between speaking truth and engaging in the sins of gossip or slander? How can we discern when we’re approaching these pitfalls? And how do we guard our hearts and tongues against falling into them?
In this episode, we turn to Scripture—our ultimate authority—to guide us in navigating these challenging situations. Together, we’ll explore how to communicate truth in a way that honors God and avoids sin.

Speaking in Faith or Happy Lies? Interview With Melissa Dougherty Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

Join The Remnant Radio as we sit down with Christian apologist and author Melissa Dougherty to discuss her new book, Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World. Melissa will trace the roots of our culture's toxic subjectivity and relentless pursuit of happiness back to an influential 19th-century philosophy called New Thought—a movement that shaped much of today’s self-help culture and even infiltrated the church.
As a former follower of New Thought teachings, Melissa brings a unique perspective, blending her personal journey with biblical insights and a touch of wit. We’ll discuss:

The hidden dangers of New Thought philosophy and its modern manifestations.
How the "positive thought" movement hijacks Christian-sounding ideas and burdens believers.
Why our culture's obsession with self and "fake authenticity" undermines true redemption.
How the Christian worldview offers a life-giving alternative to the world's Happy Lies.

This episode promises to be eye-opening, equipping you to recognize and respond to deceptive ideologies with truth and grace. Don’t miss it!

Exploring The Anointing: What Is The Anointing And How Do You Get It? Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of The Remnant Radio, hosts Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree dive deep into the theology of the anointing. Together, they explore its roots in the Old Testament, its applications in the New Testament, and its varied interpretations within charismatic circles. This episode unpacks significant biblical texts, such as Jesus’ declaration in Luke 4:18 and the use of anointing oil for healing in James 5:14, while examining the historical and theological development of the concept.
Join us as we tackle questions like:
👉What does the Bible mean by “anointing”?
👉How did the early church practice anointing in connection with baptism and deliverance?
👉How does the charismatic movement interpret and sometimes redefine anointing?
We also discuss practical implications, such as the role of anointing in spiritual gifts and the importance of aligning modern practices with scriptural truth. Drawing from church history, biblical scholarship, and personal ministry experience, this episode provides a nuanced look at one of the most essential and often misunderstood aspects of Christian theology.
If you’re interested in understanding how anointing relates to the power of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of healing and prophecy, or the life of Jesus as the Anointed One (Acts 10:38), this episode is for you.

DEMYSTIFYING THE DEMONIC: Understanding Spiritual Warfare with Dr. Clint Arnold Jan 14, 2025

Show notes

What did first-century believers actually understand about demonic forces and spiritual warfare? Join The Remnant Radio for an illuminating conversation with Clinton E. Arnold, PhD, Dean and Professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology, as we delve into the realities of spiritual warfare. In this episode, we’ll explore themes from Dr. Arnold’s book Powers of Darkness: Principalities & Powers in Paul’s Letters, unpacking what the Apostle Paul teaches about demonic forces, supernatural empowerment, and the role of magic in the first century.
Dr. Arnold sheds light on how first-century Greek, Roman, and Jewish beliefs intersect with the biblical worldview, demonstrating that the New Testament portrays principalities and powers as organized, personal beings defeated by Jesus at the cross and ultimately subdued at His return. We'll also discuss the implications for contemporary Christians, including practical guidance for standing firm against spiritual forces of evil.
As both a New Testament scholar and Dean of Talbot School of Theology, Dr. Arnold bridges the gap between academic research and practical application, helping us understand how to engage in spiritual warfare with biblical wisdom and historical insight. Whether you're seeking to better understand the spiritual battle described in Scripture or to engage thoughtfully with the challenges of modern occult practices, this episode is a must-watch for anyone desiring to navigate the unseen with biblical clarity. Join us for this crucial conversation that brings biblical, scholarly insight to spiritual warfare.
