and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

creator of heaven and earth,
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Can God suffer?

After the Fact: False Stories 101
29 oktober 2019 · 7 min
On this mini-episode, Jen Wilkin and JT English talk about false stories—what they are, which are most prevalent, and how the true story of the Gospel provides a solution. Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
What are false stories?
Which of those do you most typically see people living in?
Helpful Definitions:
False stories: All of us are living in the midst of a narrative that informs us on what the good life is. By default, all of us are living in false stories and need to be invited to participate in the true story - the Christian story.
Romanticism: The story that says, “You are your emotions.” The more intense the emotion the more authentic it is. The good life is authenticity.
Consumerism: The story that says, “You are what you have.” Worth is based upon the value and quality of what belongs to me. The good life is having great things.
Rationalism: The story that says, “Whatever seems reasonable to you must be true, despite emotions or religious belief.” Only our own reason or experience can be trusted. The good life is using my mind as the arbiter of what is true and good.
Pragmatism: The story that says, “Whatever works must be true.” The good life is productivity, functionality, and practicality.
Individualism: The story that says, “You are at the center of all things.” Autonomy is prized over all things because the self and its pleasure is the goal of this story. The good life is the authority of the independent individual.
Progressivism: The story that says, “Things are continually getting better.” Advancements in science, technology, economics, etc., are constantly improving the human condition. The good life is the belief that through human ingenuity, we are better today than yesterday and we will be better tomorrow than we were today.
Secularism: The story that says, “There is nothing beyond the natural world.” Religious belief in God is seen to be one option among others, and is both contestable and contested. We must shift our attention o…

#54 – Who is God?
26 september 2019 · 31 min

The Apostles Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

#50 - Live from Proclaim Truth Lees meer
Jen Wilkin, JT English, Kyle Worley, and Elizabeth Woodson talk about the doctrine of God—who God is and how God is—live from the Proclaim Truth Conference.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
What do I mean when I distinguish between theology and theology proper?
Let me just ask our big question right up front: “Can I know who and how God is?”
What difficulties/weaknesses/realities complicate my ability to know who God is?
When I come to the bible should I lay down my theological beliefs and conclusions?
Any advice for women in churches where the pastors want the women's ministry to happen organically and resist having any sort of coordinator?
Are the creeds a part of the canon? If not, why not say they are an imperative part of understanding the bible but they are not the bible?
I help teach and lead a bible study at my church but the more I study God and his word the more I feel like I don’t know enough to teach. Should I stop?
When the women in our studies see God as a cuddly bear/daddy, how would you approach this with grace and attribute to God’s holiness as well?
Helpful Definitions:
Anthropology: Doctrine of man
Soteriology: Doctrine of salvation
Ecclesiology: Doctrine of the church
Theology Proper: The doctrine of God. How can we come to know God? Who is God? How does God make himself known to us?

How should we think about catechizing our children into distinctly christian beliefs and orthodoxy?

13 juni 2019 · 47 min
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions from listeners. They cover topics like eternal subordination of the Son, the closed nature of the canon and more. Lees meer

What did Jesus do in the three days between his death and resurrection?
Why do women no longer cover their hair in worship? (Cor. 11:2-16)
Does prayer change God’s mind?
How do you define what is theologically essential?
Per our episode on kid theologians: Is it dangerous to say things like “Jesus loves you” to potentially unsaved kiddos?
If you’re a lay person, thinking about formal theological training to help you lead as a lay person, how do you approach choosing a degree? Master of Arts? Theology? MDiv? Focus in apologetics? Theology? Biblical studies? There’s so many options it’s hard to know where to start.
Helpful Definitions:
Eternal Functional Subordination of the Son: A position that subordinates the Son’s divine will to the Father’s divine will.
Tritheism: Three different god’s with three different wills.
Complementarianism: All humans, both male and female, have been created in God’s image. We share in dignity, power, authority, the mission of God; but men and women are not interchangeable; they are distinct.

#44 – A Generous Complementarianism
16 mei 2019 · 1 uur 10 min
On this episode of Knowing Faith, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about something that’s been getting a lot of buzz: complementarianism. What does it mean and how can we practice this well within the church? Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
What is complementarianism?
Why do we care about this doctrine?
How should theological method play a role in the complementarianism discussion?
What arguments are put forward in regards to trinitarianism?
Our views on complementarianism have to live in the tensions of scripture: What is New Testament preaching? How do we synthesize 1 Cor. 14 with 1 Tim. 2? What is the nature of authority?
What offices of the church are available to men?
What offices of the church are available to women?
Helpful Definitions:
Complementarianism: All humans, both male and female, have been created in God’s image. We share in dignity, power, authority, the mission of God; but men and women are not interchangeable; they are distinct.
Theological method: How do you appropriately draw conclusions from the bible.
Eternal functional subordination: A position that subordinates the Son’s divine will to the Father’s divine will.

#41 – The Lord’s Supper
25 april 2019 · 44 min
Jen Wilkin, JT English, Kyle Worley, and Mason King discuss the history and theology of the Lord’s Supper. Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
The Lord’s Supper is one of two ordinances/sacraments. What is an ordinance or sacrament?
Where would we go in the bible to talk about the Lord’s Supper?
How does the Lord’s supper connect with broader biblical/theological themes?
What is happening in the Lord’s supper?
What are the different views on the Lord’s Supper?
Helpful Definitions:
Ordinances: Baptism & the Lord’s Supper are the means by which the people of God rehearse the story of God communally.
Transubstantiation: The bread and the cup are literally transformed into the body and blood of Jesus. Jesus Christ’s presence is in the elements in a physical way.
Consubstantiation: Christ's presence is physically there but not that the elements are actually the body and blood of Jesus. His presence is in and around.
Spiritual Presence: In the elements and in the proceedings of communion Christ is spiritually present with his people.
Momoralism: Christ is not uniquely present physically or spiritually in the Lord’s supper. It is simply a sign of remembrance.
Eutychian: Confusing the divine and human properties of Jesus.
Nestorian: Separating the two natures of Jesus so that they are no longer the same person.

Questions Covered in This Episode:
The story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Sam. 11-13. Let’s retell the story up to this point, what’s been happening?
(2 Sam. 11:1-5) David is in Jerusalem, but his armies are out at battle and David goes up to his roof and sees a woman bathing. Most will stop here and say that this woman is flaunting her business, is that what is really going on?
Why didn’t she just say no?
Isn’t David a man after God’s own heart, how does this square with that?
Let’s talk about Nathan’s rebuke of David: What is going on here and why is it significant?

#28 – Lightning Round: Q&A with Mason King
27 december 2018 · 54 min
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley hit on several topics, like the Trinity, gluttony, the age of accountability and more. Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
RE: Matt. 24:32-36...if the Father and Son are one, how does only the Father know the hour “these things shall come to pass?”
How should we as Christians approach the topic of gluttony and personal health? How should we prioritize exercise and healthy food choices?
As Christians, are we able to live without sinning?
Does God speak to us through thoughts in our mind? For example, we ask God something, and the first thought that pops in our head is from Him?
Is there an age of accountability?
Lord’s Supper: Who takes it, how often, and why?
Helpful Definitions:
Communication of Attributes: The relationship between the two natures and the one person of Jesus Christ. Jesus has all of the attributes of his divine nature and all of the attributes of his human nature.
Nestorianism: A Nestorian would admit the full deity of Christ. They would also affirm the full humanity of the person of Christ. It looks as if this is orthodox because they admit to both the full deity and full humanity but unfortunately they would not proclaim the unity of the person.They segregated the humanity from the deity. The belief that there was never a Christ who was fully divine and fully human at the same time.
Age of Accountability: The idea that there is a time in which a person becomes accountable to being able to confess that Christ is Lord.

8 november 2018 · 41 min
What is the doctrine of providence and how is that different from God’s sovereignty? Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss how God continues to reign and rule over His creation. Lees meer
