Providing clarity for Christians in a confusing age.

This channel investigates the hardest questions facing Christianity today — exploring Scripture, church history, theology, and the claims surrounding the church. Each episode follows a real tension or confusion within Christianity and seeks clarity through careful investigation and the historic Protestant tradition.

Because truth does not collapse under examination.

I caught an unexpected case of the belly laughs in this weeks live show when I recounted a line from William Whitaker in his Disputation on Holy Scripture. And I said I would post it on X so I want to remain faithful to my promise.

But I was was mistaken. I said he was engaging Robert Bellarmine, but it was Thomas Stapleton he said was stupid:

"But God (says [Stapleton]) teaches us through the church, and by no other medium: therefore there is no more certain authority than that of the church.

I answer: His own words prove that God’s authority is more certain. For the authority of him who teaches is greater than that of him through whom one is taught. God teaches us through the church: therefore the authority of God is greater than that of the church. I am surprised that Stapleton should have been so stupid as not to see that, if it be God who teaches through the church, the authority of God must be greater than that of the church. He confesses that we are taught by God through the church: therefore, since God is the prime and highest teacher, it is evident that his authority and trustworthiness is the chief."—William Whitaker; Disputation on Holy Scripture (Oxford Press), pg. 285-6

I’m going quiet for a bit.

Not because nothing’s happening…but because something is.

If you've been following along from the beginning I've said that if any big changes take place with me and this channel, I'd step away to work through those.

So for a little bit… I’m stepping back.

You'll hear from me in a couple weeks. Big things happening!

Many have asked when the third and final part of the Rock & Sand rebuttal will be up. Please, be patient. I understand some people really love videos like that, but one must understand the amount of time it takes to bring you 1-1.5 hours of rebuttal like that.

Between parts 1 and 2, I have already put in over 115 hours (not including everything so far for part 3). The amount of historical research/reading that is required, footnote verification of Trenham's sources, planning, writing, recording, editing, etc. is a lot to make sure it's done right.

It's coming.

It's just taking longer than anticipated because, like with these types of things, you come across stuff you didn't previously know, which can send you down new paths of research. Which is exactly what happened in this case and I'm in the thick of it.

But I promise you it will be worth it. It will be quite long. Buckle up!

🚨 NO VIDEOS THIS WEEK 🚨

One of my boys had surgery today and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Please be in prayer for my son and his recovery. Will be back next Monday in full force. Let’s just say it’s gonna be a banger and worth the wait.

Incredibly based regardless of your opinions of Wilson and Moscow. More of this!

Please pray for Trent Horn and his family upon receiving news that his wife has cancer. LORD have mercy, Christ have mercy. And let this be a reminder that points us to the Blessed Hope — the day which is coming wherein there will be no more cancer as Jesus has defeated Satan, sin, and death.

I removed today's video on sola fide and will re-upload after re-recording and being more precise and clear. A subscriber pointed out a point of not communicating effectively enough in the introduction and I don't want people to be misled. I appreciate this feedback and take stuff like clarity (which I always harp on) seriously. Serious enough to take down a video and put in the work to clarify.

So I've uploaded another video for y'all instead: https://youtu.be/o3fegVu8WHE

God bless!
