  • The Weight of Christmas Pt 4

    The Weight of Christmas Pt 4
    Dec 28 2025
    In this episode, we turn to the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451) and its four defining boundaries that shaped how the church speaks about Christ. Rather than explaining the mystery away, Chalcedon draws firm lines—protecting the truth that Jesus is fully God and fully man, one person, without confusion or division.

  • 4 Little Foxes, 1 Big Misinterpretation

    4 Little Foxes, 1 Big Misinterpretation
    Dec 27 2025
    Song of Solomon 2:15 is often used to warn believers about hidden sins—the "little foxes" that supposedly threaten our relationship with Christ. But is that what the verse actually means? In this episode, we examine one sermon, four alleged "foxes," and the much bigger interpretive mistake underneath them. When poetic imagery is moralized and context is ignored, Scripture stops speaking and tradition takes over.
