  • Joe Heschmeyer Ranked Anti-Catholic Arguments—Here’s What I Think | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 8
    Jun 10 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, I respond to Joe Heschmeyer’s recent presentation of what he sees as the best and worst arguments made against the Catholic Church. As a Presbyterian pastor, my goal isn’t to attack but to engage—graciously, clearly, and with a heart for truth. I hope this video helps Protestants think more carefully about how we represent our convictions, and helps Catholics better understand where we’re coming from.

  • Are Protestants Afraid of the Canon? | Responding to Catholic Truth | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 7
    Jun 3 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, Jonathan Brooks is joined by cohosts Josh Goodwin and Alex Lott to respond to a recent video from the Catholic Truth channel (watch it here). The original video claims that Protestants avoid discussing the biblical canon and that, lacking infallible certainty, they cannot truly know what belongs in Scripture.

    Josh Goodwin, who holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, brings a philosophical lens to the discussion—highlighting the epistemological flaws in Catholic Truth's argument. Together, we critically engage with the claims made, but we don’t stop at rebuttals. We also begin building the positive case from a Reformed Protestant perspective: How do we know what belongs in the canon of Scripture?

    Whether you're Protestant, Catholic, or just curious about the canon debate, this conversation aims to be thoughtful, respectful, and grounded in theology, philosophy, and history.

  • Has Rome "Won" the Sola Scriptura Debate? A Response to Cameron Rieker | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 6
    May 27 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we respond to a recent video by Cameron Rieker (watch it here) in which he argues that Roman Catholics can "win" the Sola Scriptura debate by demonstrating Catholic doctrine from Scripture via "good and necessary consequence." Cameron claims that if Protestants reject these arguments, it proves Scripture's insufficiency.

    We take a closer look at what “good and necessary consequence” actually means and how it's been historically understood. We examine what the Westminster Confession of Faith really teaches on this subject, and whether Cameron accurately represents the Protestant position.

    Ultimately, we find that Cameron’s critique fails to grasp the doctrine he's attempting to refute—and that far from winning the debate, he misunderstands its terms entirely.
