The Forgotten Discovery of the Reformation Oct 23, 2022

Your Labor Is Not in Vain Oct 16, 2022

Called to Work Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

When we talk about work, it's easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.

Genesis: Just Another Creation Myth? Sep 11, 2022

Show notes

The first few chapters in Genesis are some of the most hotly debated in Christian circles. What did Moses intend for his readers to understand when he penned the Bible's creation narrative?

In this episode, they consider the historical relationship between these disciplines, examining what has caused growing skepticism towards the sciences among Christians.
