Is is always better to be hyper literal with scripture? How do we interpret scripture? Which approach is best? We sit down and have a short conversation with Dr. Pritchett on this topic.
In this episode we have special guest Dr. Johnathan Pritchett on to discuss the Flat Earth theory, and how interpretative methods bring people to various theories.

In this episode, we talk a little bit about the The Euthyphro dilemma, and then discuss what are we to do when we "hear" of something explaining God that goes against our God-given conscience?
In this episode we have our dear brother and friend, Dr. Leighton Flowers, on the show to discuss the Universal Witness of God. Leighton is part of the Trinity Commission, a consortium of podcasts associated with Trinity Seminary.
We focus specifically on Romans 7:9-12, and what it means by being alive apart from the Law, and when "the commandment" came Paul died. What is this Law? What is "the commandment"? Why is the Law holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good? What commandment is meant to produce life?
Moving through Romans 7, as we sail through the book of Romans.
If obeying the gospel is following and serving the Lord in faith, how is it the "free" gift of eternal life?
We continue discussing the book of Romans, summarizing the first 5 chapters, and moving into chapter 6.
How was the gospel presented pre-cross? Prior to Jesus and the cross, how did you share the good news that one must obey to be saved? One can look at the 4000 years before Jesus and see salvation was still presented the same way. Noah was a preacher of righteousness, 2 Pet.2:5, and the disciples preached the good news; all of them preached the gospel. How do you or could you present the gospel without Jesus and the cross. Disclaimer: we do think you should be using this Jesus and the cross today...
Back in episode 2, we discuss the question, "What is the Gospel". In this episode, one year later, we answer the same question. We encourage you to listen to episode 2, as we discuss different scripture and different arguments in each episode.
A short episode discussing whether being made alive (regenerated) precedes faith.
Continuing through Romans, going through chapter 5. Chapter 5 is one of the most contested chapters in the scripture. Take a listen, and hear our perspective of what Paul is teaching regarding Adam and Christ, and the effects of their acts on all people.
In this short episode, we carry over what we learned in Romans 4 with what we read about in Hebrews 11, and the heroes of the faith.

It's been one year since we started the Brodown podcast. Join us in this episode on some reminiscing, thanking, and talking about the future of the Brodown. Oh, we throw in some teaching too.
In this episode, we look at the two laws and two types of works, seen in passages such as Romans 3:27-28; Romans 1:5; Romans 16:26; 1 Thes. 1:3; 2 Thes.1:11; Romans 7:23-25. In can be summed up as: The law of the flesh and works of the flesh. The law of faith and the works of faith.
In this episode, we discuss chapter 3 of Romans. There is a lot to discuss in this, specifically on the idea that Romans 3:10-18 is teaching man is "Totally Unable". We will show that this is not the context of this passage, nor the passages that Paul quotes from. We also will point that the righteousness that comes by faith in obeying the gospel is still the theme of Paul's letter, having begun all the way back in chapter 1.
There is much talk on whether or not the "nature* of man changed with the fall of Adam. In this study we show that the "nature" of man has not changed (but of course there were results of the fall that we all live with).

In this episode, we walk through Exodus, and examine the text regarding the hardening of Pharaoh. What was the purpose? Did this relate to salvation? We will show that Pharaoh resisted God, and it isn't until later, that God firms up Pharaoh's resolve, in order to make His power and name known throughout all the earth.
In this episode, we look at and examine the 5 Solas, defining them, and discussing their scriptural support or lack of support.
