“ Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”… And other stupid statements

Do extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence? I think I just said this a couple of weeks ago, but it is worth repeating as it has become a mantra among evangelical...

The Easiest Way to Know You are Saved

Gal 2:20 is my fav passage in the Bible, but Luke 18:13-14 is always right on its tail and sometimes passes it. It is a precious passage in my eyes and I often use it with...

Two Objections to the Historical Jesus that Make No Sense

I am so tired of hearing skeptics say that you can’t use the Bible to evidence Jesus because 1) it’s in the Bible and 2) it is not by a hostile audience. 1. What we call the...

If Everything Is in Italics, Nothing Is in Italics
byC. Michael Patton

In this episode, Michael reflects on passion, conviction, and the danger of treating every issue as if it deserves the same level of intensity. In a culture where outrage gets clicks and every disagreement becomes a battlefield, Christians must recover a proper hierarchy of passion.

Drawing from John Wesley’s famous line about setting oneself on fire, Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 15 about matters “of first importance,” and the reminder that “we see in a mirror dimly,” Michael explores how conviction and humility belong together. The goal is not less passion, but better-ordered passion, with Christ and the Gospel occupying the most prominent place at the table.

  • 83 - Through Theology in a Year - The Inspiration of Scripture 2026-05-29
    In this session of Through Theology in a Year, we begin our study of one of the most foundational doctrines in all of Christianity: the inspiration of Scripture. What does it mean when Christians say the Bible is "God-breathed"? Does inspiration reside in the authors, the message, the readers, or the very words of Scripture […]
