The Grimké Podcast

Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings—but is he Lord of America? China? The UK? Volume II of the Grimké Review of Books is your primer to the discussion surrounding Christian Nationalism. The profs discuss the biblical warrant for nationalism, our Reformed political heritage, reasons Christians are uncomfortable with Christian Nationalism, and many great books to get you started on your way to developing a rich political theology.

Before ascending into heaven, Jesus said, “Make disciples.” Faithful pastors must leave it all on the court for this people-making mission—working in the Spirit to help people follow and become more like Christ (Col 1:28–29). But how do you make a disciple? How does discipleship often go wrong in local churches? This week, the profs answer these questions and more.

There’s only one game in town for Bible-believing pastors—the truth game. While faithful pastors happily reject pragmatism, relativism, standpoint epistemology, and the like, the modern world’s war on truth has devastating effects in the church. This week, the profs discuss the nature of objective truth and how pastors can stand as men of conviction.

Liberals pervert it. Conservatives won’t talk about it. It’s no surprise that many evangelicals can’t answer the question, “What is love?” This week, the profs discuss “feeling loved,” the relationship between God’s love and wrath, gospel-centered pitfalls, and much more.Want to help us reach more pastors and churches?

Jesus isn't the happy medium between the culture's left/right impulses. “Third Way” thinking, while often well-intended, boasts a Christ constrained by the cultural moment and a gospel that seeks to appease everyone.

How exactly do men get into ministry? Some churches operate as if pastors are manufactured, packaged, and shipped from seminaries, eager to answer their church’s latest job posting. This week, we discuss how faithful men are made for ministry, the challenges churches face in finding good help, and the pastor’s role in raising and training the next pastoral crop.Want to help us reach more pastors and churches?
