Ep 194: What We Believe Part 6 | Faith

April 10, 2025
Protestant Libertarian Podcast

Right before the pandemic, in February of 2020, I took on the role of interim student ministries director at my church.

Then the world shut down.

I hosted seven weeks of group online, and I recorded a series of videos about the basics of our beliefs for my students to watch before our weekly meetings. These short video introductions to important Biblical subjects lay dormant for nearly five years, until I decided to turn them into episodes of my podcast. The original videos (edited, of course, to remove the boring logistical information), will be posted on YouTube. There you can see my beard and my hair grow longer each week until I look like a ridiculous clown.

Longtime listeners of the show will realize that some of my beliefs have been nuanced or changed in the last five years, but I still agree with the basic outline of each episode. I hope they benefit you!

New episodes will be released every other Thursday between January 30-April 24 2025.

Original show notes:

What Do We Believe? Week Six: Faith

Week six in a seven part series entitled “What Do We Believe”, based on Romans 1:1-5

Paul declares in Romans 1:5 that ‘faith’ means ‘obedience’. We will explore the significance of that statement this week.

Here are the four discussion questions from this week:

1.Why is simply ‘believing’ that God exists not enough, and how is that different from ‘faith’ in the Biblical sense?

2. Why is status so important to us? Why do people want to be popular and accepted?

3. What are some ways that we can make ‘faith’ the most important status that we have?
