If all life is sacred, and if murder is intentionally taking the life of an innocent human being, and if babies are sinless (my tradition rejections original sin), then was the flood not God intentionally taking the lives of every human on earth including the innocent human babies?

Burnout is everywhere. I think that in our post-lockdown world, we all realized just how much we needed some time to refresh. For those of us who had the privilege of staying home during the lockdown, the time we had to spend with our families was priceless. I know that’s true for me and my year as a stay-at-home dad with Cayden. But for those of us who were considered essential workers with nonessential pay, our heartache for Sabbath intensified like never...

In this article, we’ll be talking about an idea that I alluded to several times in 1 John: the identity of the Antichrist. Personally, I think this is something we must get right, not because we’ll go to hell if we miss it, but because it has huge implications for how we view Christian history, and more importantly, how we answer some critical issues facing the church today, namely the conversation surrounding Christian nationalism. https://danielcrogers.substack.com Daniel's Usual...

This is also an article! Check it out at https://danielcrogers.substack.com. So the other day I was thinking about how I would explain to Cayden, my three-year-old, why we don’t use instruments on Sunday morning. Since there is no biblical reason to not use them, I need to have a good reason why. And I think the best answer I can give is that it is just our tradition, a tradition we enjoy and can be proud of.

When you were trained to read the Scripture in a certain way, you were also taught what certain words mean. Even if you change how you read a particular verse, the words in that verse may still be affecting the story you tell yourself about God, yourself, or others. In this episode, Daniel talks about how this works and gives some thoughts on how to deal with it. For a article on this idea, check out my recent posts:...

In this episode, Shane joins Daniel to speak about the death penalty and the myth of redemptive violence.

Daniel and Brian talk about Penal Substitutionary Atonement Theory. For many Christians, this is equivalent to the gospel, but it is not the only way Christians have talked about the atonement. In fact, it is a fairly recent development, at least in its current form, when compared to the rest of church history. Thinking back to his roots in the Restoration Movement (the Stone-Campbell Movement), Daniel thought that this interview would help us better understand the distaste that Barton W....
