Mere Fidelity is Finally on iTunes

Mere FidelityHey everybody, I’m pleased to announce that our podcast has finally been approved by iTunes and is now up for streaming, downloading, and so forth, with the four previous episodes up for grabs. You can go here to do so:

This is the link to click on. I am being very, very explicit with this so that you will actually click on it.

Also, if you’ve already listened to it, or once you’ve listened to it, please go ahead and rate it for us and maybe give it a review. We think the conversations we’re having are really valuable for the church and for our culture, so we want to get the word out. A podcast with actual reviews and (good) ratings is more likely to get noticed beyond the circle of reach of the four of us participating.

Finally, if wouldn’t mind share the podcast feed, please do so.

That One Time I Was On the White Horse Inn: Sustainable Discipleship

Michael Horton and I are #besties.

Michael Horton and I are #besties.

True Story: I had the privilege of sitting in with the great Dr. Michael Horton on the White Horse Inn radio show a little while back. They’ve been going through a series on the state of youth ministry in the church and so they invited me to join with pastor Brian Thomas to chat about the challenges and promise reaching out and ministering to young adults in our context. Here’s the WHI description:

How should we disciple young adults? Though some are aware of the problems with entertainment based youth ministry, many are fearful that content based or catechetical approaches will leave kids bored and disengaged. Is this actually true, or should we challenge these assumptions? I’ll be discussing these important questions with Derek Rishmawy and Brian Thomas. –

So there you go. You can listen to the full audio of that program here:

Or go to their website for the audio and a list of helpful resources.

Podcasts: Do Calvinists Worship Another God? And What About Aliens?

This week I was on two podcasts. First, Andrew Wilson, Alastair Roberts, and I recorded our second ever episode of Casting Across the Pond. Inspired by Fred Sanders we discuss the ever popular “the God of Calvinism is a devil/another god/monster” trope that shows up in theological debate. Does it ever work? What does it mean? Should Calvinists say that sort of thing about Open Theists? What about Process theology?

Also, I defend my right to defend myself against the British. You can listen to it now:

Or listen and share it HERE.  Please do actually go listen and share. We’ve put in some leg-work on this and would love the word to get out about it.

Also, over at Christ and Pop Culture, Alan Noble and I talk about what the death of the New homepage means for communication, news, and our cultural consumption. Also, we talk about #ALIENS and whether we should baptize them like Pope Francis says.

You can go listen to that one by clicking HERE.
