We close out Season 2 with a look at 5 issues that will determine if the church continues its slide into irrelevance in the West, or if we'll reverse course and march forward with the Gospel stronger than ever before.

We discuss why the Proverbs are so essential.

What it means to fear God, how the Proverbs cure theological minimalism, how Jesus figures into the Proverbs, and more are covered in this episode.

Most Christians know the Psalms as a book full of comforting poems. But beyond that, we're often unsure of just what to do with them.

Should we sing them? Should we learn doctrine from them? Based in the Old Testament, are they even for Christians?

We discuss why the Psalms have as much relevance as ever and what the church can do to restore them to their proper place in our work and worship.

We continue on from last week's discussion on the Trinity with a closer look at the work of the Holy Spirit.

- The Holy Spirit's relationship to the Bible

- How the Holy Spirit gives us much-needed assurance of salvation

- What He does for your growth as a Christian

and more!

Christians believe in a God of 3 persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

But does it matter that we include all 3? And do we have to understand their roles properly in order to relate to God?

We discuss why the doctrine of the Trinity is so vital to the Christian's walk with God. Topics include

- Why most analogies fall flat

- Can we pray to Jesus? Can we worship the Spirit?

- What role each plays

- How all 3 were at work throughout the Bible

This week we talk about the curse of hyper-individualism, including:

- Its origins

- Why it makes us miserable

- How it affects the home, the church, and the society

- What the Bible teaches about the "self"

and more

We know Christ wanted unity for His church. But we also know we are not to pursue unity at the expense of truth.

How do we build our fences in the proper place to not exclude true Christians and not include those in error?

How do we apply Romans 14?

What does it mean to be the weaker brother and the stronger brother?

We explore these questions and more in this week's episode.

Was the church always meant to resemble the church of the first century? Or were we to grow into something more as time passed and maturity developed?

What would it mean for the church to successfully carry out the Great Commission?

Is there a difference between the kingdom and the church? If so, what is it and how does it apply?

Was the church to always have an "us against the world, ragtag minority" sense, or were we to grow into something bigger and more influential?

Was the move from houses to cathedrals right, altogether wrong, or a necessary growth taken too far?

We explore these questions and more in this week's Who Let the Dogma Out?
