What is Sound Doctrine & Why It Matters | Ep. 1

Episode 1: What is Sound Doctrine & Why It Matters

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Sound Doctrine Podcast! In a day when false doctrine abounds and many turn away from the truth, Brother Scott Ashley dives into a foundational question: What exactly is sound doctrine, and why is it so crucial for every believer?

You'll discover that "doctrine" simply means teaching or instruction, specifically Bible doctrine – what the Holy Bible alone, as the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God, teaches. We'll explore how "sound" doctrine means pure, wholesome, correct, and uncorrupted teaching.

Learn why sound doctrine is not just important, but essential:

• It protects us from being "tossed to and fro... by every wind of doctrine".
• It provides unity among believers, dividing truth from lies.
• It directly impacts our spiritual practice; bad doctrine always leads to bad practice.

This episode lays the groundwork for how The Sound Doctrine Podcast is committed to expounding the Word of God as the sole authority, helping you understand and practically apply God's truth to your life. We don't seek to replace your pastor, but to be a resource for your spiritual life.

Key Scriptures in this episode:

2 Timothy 4:3-4, Romans 1:25, Matthew 13:15, 2 Corinthians 2:17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Titus 2:1, Titus 1:9, Ephesians 4:14.

Looking ahead: Future episodes will cover specific doctrines like the deity of Christ, justification, and practical topics such as prayer, standing for Christ in the workplace, and soulwinning.
