As season 4 of the Thrive Theology podcast draws to a close, we wanted to take some time for a more casual chat and review the last few months of podcast episodes. We discuss our favourite episodes, why researching the social justice series was
If you grew up in the evangelical world of North America, there's a good chance you attended a Christian event at some point that involved an altar call, complete with a passionate plea for repentance and emotionally evocative music. In the fin
In part two of our series on the doctrine of salvation, we take a look at different atonement theories and how Calvinism and Arminianism both answer the question of how God's sovereignty works with man's free will to achieve salvation. Plus, we
C. S. Lewis once said that what makes Christianity different from all other religions is God's grace towards us. For this first episode in our three-part series on the doctrine of salvation, we discuss the doctrines of redemption, justification
Perhaps best known for his sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Jonathan Edwards is the feature historic figure of this week's podcast episode. He was a devoted Calvinist theologian and preacher, becoming a significant leader in the G
Have you ever wondered how preaching & sermons became the focal point of the Protestant Church? Starting with the Middle Ages, we explore the history of preaching in the Church—from how the Reformation forever changed the focus of religious ass
If you've been listening for a while, you know that Emily & Bethany have walked very different paths regarding marriage and singleness. In this episode, Bethany shares what she's learned about walking with the Lord through her season of singlen
The Trinity has always been difficult to define, and heresies about the nature of the Trinity started gaining popularity as early as the second century. We establish the traditional orthodox view of the Trinity, then give the background and bel
We’re back with the second part of our interview with Lisa Hensley to discuss the ideas of biblical manhood & womanhood. Is this something that’s as clear in Scripture as we think, or is there more to it? We discuss the cultural blinders that b
Whether you’re complementarian or egalitarian, asking the right questions about women in church leadership roles is important. Lisa Hensley joins us to discuss some of the most common objections to women in leadership positions, including “Adam
Sometimes Christians tend to use the Bible to attack socialism, not capitalism; but the truth is, the Bible really supports neither. In this week's episode, we discuss how the Bible doesn't side with a particular socio-economic model, whether o
When we think of justice, we often think of retributive justice–punishing someone for a crime done. But Scripture spends a lot of time talking about restorative justice. God is clear that justice and righteousness go hand-in-hand; we cannot be
Throughout Christian history, there have been various events that have shaped the doctrines we know today. The Protestant Reformation that began in 1517 is one of those: it gave way to the "five solaes" that have become core doctrine in the maj
In a lovely post script to our series on the image of God, we have the honour of telling the story of Corrie ten Boom, World War 2 resistance worker, concentration camp survivor, and Christ-proclaimer. She is a beautiful example of what a heart
In the final instalment of our series on the image of God, we explore five more perspectives on the image of God and how humans actually represent God on the earth. We also take some time to discuss how Jesus affirmed the image of God in every
In part two of our series on the image of God, we explore what it means for Jesus to be the true image of God and our example to follow. We also dip our toes in the gender conversation. Many wouldn’t say that women are lesser images of God than
We’re kicking off season 4 of the podcast with a 3-part series on the image of God. In this episode, we explain why pagan kings and rulers were feared and worshipped by their citizens & courts, why Israel’s golden calf wasn’t as simple as tryin

In our final part of this series, we talk about covenant theology and what it means for us in the Church today. We take an in-depth look at the history of covenantal theology and the role the Reformation played in its development, as well as wh
In this episode, we do a deep dive into the covenant that God made to David regarding his family line. We work our way through the succession of the royal family and explore God's faithfulness despite some very evil kings. We also look at how t
This week, we pick up where we left off with the covenant that God made with Abraham. We continue to follow the story through Abraham's son Isaac and grandson Jacob. Then we jump ahead 400 years to Moses & the covenant God makes with Israel thr
We kick off a new series on the covenants of God, starting with the very first covenants God made with key characters from the biblical narrative: Adam and Eve, Noah, and Abraham. We explain the significance of covenants in the ancient Near-Eas
We took a break from theology this week and had fun looking at some medieval history; namely, the religious lives women could opt for in the Middle Ages. We explore why most women who chose to lead a religious life were actually well off, how m
We explore a few more creeds: the Apostles' Creed, the Chalcedonian Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. We talk about the real authors of these creeds and why the creeds got longer later on in history. We even share Apelles' Creed, who was a Gnost
