In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery welcome guest Ron Copass for a study of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 and what it reveals about Christian stewardship. Rather than treating stewardship as a matter of money alone, the discussion widens it to the management of everything God has entrusted: time, ability, opportunity, and possessions.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery finish their study of Matthew 13 with its two most debated parables: the mustard seed and the leaven. Mike makes the case that these parables picture not the triumphant growth of the church but the creeping corruption that would enter the kingdom. The hosts also walk through Jesus' own explanation of the weeds and the glorious parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. Examining Exodus 13, Leviticus 2, Mark 4, and Luke 8, the episode is offered humbly as an invitation to study, encouraging listeners to weigh both views against the Bible and church history and reach their own conclusion.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery begin a careful, verse-by-verse study of the parables of Matthew 13, opening a series they acknowledge may be controversial and asking listeners to search the Scriptures for themselves. Starting with the parable of the sower, the discussion works through the four soils and the vital importance of hearing, understanding, and bearing fruit, while weighing the relationship between faith and works from James 2. The conversation then turns to the parable of the wheat and the weeds, where an enemy sows corruption alongside the good seed, and considers why the two must grow together until the harvest.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery examine the sobering difference between merely claiming Christ and actually doing the will of the Father. Beginning with the narrow gate and the warning against false prophets in Matthew 7, the conversation moves through two of Jesus' most thought-provoking parables, the ten virgins in Matthew 25 and the wedding feast in Matthew 22, to show that a Christian profession must be backed by preparation, obedience, and genuine fruit.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery pose a striking thought experiment: if it were against the law to be a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Framing the discussion like a courtroom trial, the hosts weigh four testimonies that either convict or acquit: the testimony of ourselves, the testimony of others, the testimony of the Scriptures, and the testimony of the Holy Spirit. Along the way they hold up biblical examples both good and bad, from the well-reported Timothy, faithful Dorcas, and commended Demetrius to the self-seeking Diotrephes and the world-loving Demas. Drawing from Acts 26, 1 John 2, Matthew 5, Romans 8, and the full plan of salvation, the episode challenges every listener to live a life so clearly marked by Christ that their faith could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery tackle a question at the heart of much end-times teaching: will Jesus one day return to sit on a literal, earthly throne of David in Jerusalem? Working carefully through Scripture, the discussion answers no, showing that Jesus is already seated on David's throne in heaven, reigning right now over his kingdom, the church. By tracing the remarkable account of Jeconiah, whose cursed lineage was told that none of his offspring would sit on David's throne, and then following that same lineage straight to Christ in Matthew 1, the hosts demonstrate that an earthly throne would put God's own word in conflict with itself. Drawing from Jeremiah 22, Zechariah 6, 2 Samuel 7, Acts 2, Colossians 1, Hebrews 8, and Luke 1, the episode makes the case that the throne of David is in heaven, the temple is the church, and the promise to David has already been gloriously fulfilled.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery speak directly to the growing crisis of violence, disrespect, and moral decline in American society. Examining sobering statistics alongside the testimony of Scripture, the discussion traces the roots of this violence to a rejection of God, the breakdown of the family, and a generation raised without the moral compass of the Bible. By drawing from Psalms 11, Proverbs 6, Romans 12, and Luke 6, the episode calls Christians to respond to evil not with retaliation but with love and makes the case that the only lasting answer to the violence tearing communities apart is a return to the Word of God and a renewed commitment to the principles he has given us to live by.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery address a question that troubles many sincere believers: does God expect perfection after baptism, and what happens when a Christian sins? Using the book of 1 John as a guide, the discussion carefully walks through the tension between walking in the light and the reality that every Christian falls short. By examining passages in 1 John 1 and 3, Hebrews 10, 1 Peter 5, and Philippians 3, the episode explores the crucial difference between practicing sin as a way of life and the continuous cleansing available to the believer who confesses and repents and encourages listeners that while human perfection is impossible, Jesus himself makes the faithful believer perfect through his blood.
