  • Theology by and for the Global Church
    Sep 1 2024

    Earlier this summer, Hosts Michael Horton and Justin Holcomb spent two weeks in Egypt and Kenya with Theo Global, another project of Sola Media. This trip was part of Theo Global's annual efforts to gather leading theologians and biblical scholars from across the Middle East and then from East Africa to do theology together—so that the theological roots of the global church can grow strong.

    The first episode of this series was recorded onsite in Kenya, where Mike and Justin sat down with Adam Smith, a PCA minister and the Chief Operating Officer at Sola Media who has led the Theo Global project since it began in 2015. This is Theology by and for the Global Church.

  • Is God Useful?
    Aug 18 2024

    In this episode from 1996, classic hosts, Michael Horton, Kim Riddlebarger, and Rod Rosenbladt discuss the topic of “pragmatism” in the church. The ultimate question of pragmatism is not, “Is this true, good, or beautiful?,” but rather, “Will it work?” On this program, the hosts trace this pragmatic spirit throughout the history of American Christianity.

    While pragmatism may look different today, we encourage you to use this conversation to help identify what pragmatism is, what it looked like in history, and how you can identify it in its different shapes and forms today.
