These episodes are drawn from a growing collection of essays I've written on Christian apologetics. taking up questions at the intersection of Scripture, Church history, and theology, with the aim of bringing clarity where there is confusion, depth where there is surface-level understanding, and posing thought provoking questions to challenge pre-concieved notions in pursuit of the truth.

The heart of this project is not simply argument for argument’s sake, but a genuine search for truth: truth about God, about the Church He founded, and about how faith speaks into the real world we live in. Some episodes will take on long-standing theological debates, others may address modern challenges or misconceptions, and still others will look at the wisdom of the early Church Fathers and the Saints throughout history, our brothers and sisters in Christ whose voices still guide us today.

This is, in a sense, a public journey of faith, an invitation to think carefully, to wrestle honestly, and to seek truth with humility. Faith is not a straight line, nor is it free from questions, struggles, or moments of uncertainty. To be a Christian is to stand in the tension between what we already believe and what we are still learning, between the truths we confess and the doubts that quietly press in. This project is not about pretending those struggles don’t exist, but about bringing them into the light where they can be faced with honesty and courage.

My hope is that by listening you will come to see more deeply, not just into arguments or ideas, but into the truth of the faith that has sustained generations before us. The goal is not to erase every uncertainty, but to let even our questions become stepping stones that lead us closer to Christ Himself. Because at the end of every honest search, we find not simply an idea or a system, but a Person, the One who is the answer, who has revealed Himself fully in Christ and continues to make Himself known through His Church.

  • #44 Subjective Faith, Part 2: Is Protestantism Fundamentally Subjective
    2026/10/16

    Continuing the series, in Part 2 we return to the roots of the Protestant Reformation, circling back to the foundational question upon which everything else is built: Was the Protestant Reformation justified? Was Luther in the right? Can he be?

    In this episode, I argue that the subjectivity examined throughout this series is not merely a consequence of what Protestantism became, but something present at the very foundation of the movement itself.

  • #43 Subjective Faith, Part 1: Is Protestantism Intrinsically Subjective?
    2026/10/09

    In Part 1 of Subjective Faith, we examine four broad expressions of Protestant authority, from Solo Scriptura and low-church evangelicalism to confessional Protestantism and high-church Prima Scriptura, and ask whether any ultimately escapes the problem of private judgment.

    The central question is simple: Is there any authority within Protestantism capable of issuing a doctrinal “No” that the individual believer is not, in principle, permitted to overrule?

  • #42 Intro to "Subjective Faith: Private Judgment and the Collapse of Protestant Authority"
    2026/10/02

    Every Protestant denomination claims to follow the Bible. Calvinists, Arminians, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Anglicans, and non-denominational Christians all appeal to Scripture... yet... they often arrive at mutually exclusive conclusions...

    So... who is right?

    And more importantly: by what authority does anyone decide?

    This episode introduces Subjective Faith: Private Judgment and the Collapse of Protestant Authority, a series examining whether Protestantism can escape the problem of private judgment. If every visible authority remains subject to the individual’s interpretation of Scripture, then is the Bible truly functioning as the final authority... or is the individual interpreter?

    Can Protestantism provide a final, binding, objective mechanism for resolving doctrinal disputes? Or does every appeal eventually return to “the Bible as I understand it”?

    This series argues in three parts that Protestantism is intrinsically, fundamentally, and inescapably subjective.
