However, there is nothing new under the sun and the Scriptures have much to say on issues of sexuality.

  • The Scottish Tempest: The Life of John Knox, ep. 2.

    The Scottish Tempest: The Life of John Knox, ep. 2.
    Apr 21 2025
    Hey everyone. We're back this week with the second episode of The Scottish Tempest. In this episode I'll be covering the period from Knox's conversion to Protestantism until his initial exile from Scotland. There's a lot that happens during that period; his best friend dies, he is the subject of a manhunt, there's an assassination, some people take over a castle, he becomes a pastor at said castle, they try to make alliance with the English and ultimately, they all become slaves to the French. There is, of course, a lot of historical background and context as well because the politics of England, France, Scotland, and Rome all have indirect (and some times direct) bearing on Knox's story. It's a long one, and I hope you enjoy it. If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at wm.wts.edu.

  • Apologetics for Everyone w/ Dr. Mark Farnham

    Apologetics for Everyone w/ Dr. Mark Farnham
    Mar 31 2025
    Dr. Mark Farnham graduated from Westminster's PhD program in Apologetics. His book, "Every Believer Confident" was recently released by P&R Publishing. He currently teaches at Lancaster Bible College. Nate sits down with Dr. Farnham to discuss apologetics and how every Christian believer is equipped to do the work of apologetics. It's not just a discipline for those who are trained philosophers or expert theologians. The early Christians didn't get sent off to Athens to learn Aristotelian philosophy before they were allowed to engage their friends and neighbors in evangelism. The Scriptures are sufficient for apologetics. If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at wm.wts.edu. You can also get a copy of Dr. Farnham's book at the Westminster Bookstore.
