Topic Request

Gavin, thanks for providing this resource. Wondering if you could do an episode on the Sabbath/ Lord’s Day. I’d be interested to hear your theology on the subject and how that affects the way you spend Sundays. From a practical standpoint, I want to spend Sundays in a way that honors God. Should I pursue hobbies on Sunday that I don’t have time for on other days of the week, or should I only be doing things pertaining to worship and ministry? Can I go out to eat after church, or should I avoid things on Sunday that cause other people not to have the day off? These are the kind of questions I’d like to have peace and clarity about, but I have wrestled with them for most of my Christian life.

Biblical, sane, wise

Lots to commend in these episodes. Gavin is loving, thoughtful, grounded in truth, and all so helpful to be anchored in the Christian faith.

Exemplary Irenic Theological Discussion

You won’t find a better podcast for irenic, thoughtful treatment of theological issues than Gavin’s. Though I regularly arrive at different conclusions than Dr. Ortlund, I don’t hesitate to listen to what he has to say on the topics he discusses for an honest evaluation and treatment of the underlying aspects of the text of scripture and the broader debate on any given subject. He helps the listener distill the conversation into the fundamental questions about the text of scripture or the intellectual/philosophical underpinnings of why we’re even having the discussion about the given topics. I commend this podcast to everyone who wants to grow and learn with discernment and a charitable spirit. Thank you, Gavin!
