#224 Dave Jenkins: The War of the Worldviews

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Dave Jenkins, a returning guest, joins us to talk about his latest book "The War of Worldviews: Truth, Lies, and the Battle for the Christian Mind".

The War of Worldviews equips Christians to understand the competing ideas and philosophies shaping our culture today. From secular humanism and scientism to Marxism and New Age spirituality, these worldviews seek to explain reality and define truth apart from God's Word. Dave helps believers recognize the deeper spiritual battle behind these movements and provides a biblical framework for discerning truth in a confused age. As Christians seek to faithfully follow Christ, it is essential to think biblically, stand firmly on the authority of Scripture, and engage the culture with clarity, conviction, and grace.

#218 Karl Vaters: De-sizing the Church

Fri, 10 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We're obsessed with bigness. Supersized meals and TV screens. Square footage. And big churches. "What's the size of your church?" That question has stirred insecurities or stroked the ego of too many pastors.

For a long time, we thought bigger was better. "Church growth" and "numbers" dominated our thoughts and conversations. But more than ever, people are feeling disconnected. Trust in the church is dwindling.

In De-sizing the Church, pastor Karl Vaters takes us on a multi-faceted journey through our centuries-long obsession with size, both in and outside the church, and how it has negatively affected those who serve and worship in big and small congregations alike. He also dispels some prevailing myths and affirms what was good and true about the Church Growth Movement. And he invites us to consider how removing church size from the equation can be an essential element in rebuilding trust, restoring relationships, and renewing our spiritual lives.

This book reframes the way we see the size of our churches and helps us see health and fruitfulness through de-sized lenses. The result? Renewed congregations that reach surrounding communities and faithfully engage culture.

Vermon Pierre guides us through this celestial love story, showcasing how this divine affection can lead us to love more fully - with our words, delight, presence, and through every difficulty.

In a world marked by increasing isolation and disunity, "Dearly Beloved" emerges as a beacon of hope, offering insights on how to counteract loneliness and fragmentation by embracing God's love. This episode promises to unravel the essence of being God's beloved and how this understanding can foster a tighter-knit community within the church, pave the way for genuine fellowship, and deepen our devotion to Jesus.

#214 David Jenkins: Contentment

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Where is God when it hurts? What do I do when I struggle with anxiety, depression, discouragement, fear, and face suffering? Many Christians ask these questions in a desire to grow in their communion with the Lord. Some struggle to know whether they should even ask these questions. Others struggle even more through these questions with great doubts that impact their daily walk with the Lord. How do we grow in the grace of God amidst the daily grind of life? How do we not only practically but biblically grow in contentment?

In a personal and yet accessible way Dave in his latest book, "Contentment: The Journey of A Lifetime" takes readers on a personal journey of discovering contentment as defined in Scripture. Masterfully incorporating the Church’s rich teaching and literature on contentment, he provides very practical help for readers, equipping them in their efforts to gain contentment in their own lives.

Fri, 24 Apr 2020 10:00:00 +0000

There are billions of people living in small places, yet they are often ignored by ministry-minded people. Small places are thick with culture and rife with opportunity for gospel ministry: poverty, depression, suicide, racism, injustice, and souls stranded in sin unacquainted with the love of God in Christ Jesus. As Stephen points out, both rural and urban places are easily romanticized.

Sat, 23 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000

In recent decades, there has been a shift in the landscape and focus of the Church. Topics such as the Sovereignty of God and humanity’s utter helplessness without him have become more widely appreciated. Books are being written and conferences attended in their thousands. This apparent renewal of interest in grappling with Scripture has created a movement labeled as New Calvinism.

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

John Samson joins BRIDGE Radio again to give the testimony of his time and immersion in the word of faith movement for many years before leaving. John was not only a prosperity preacher but also a TBN host who was friends with well-known figures of the movement. We address the word of faith’s false teaching of the “little gods” doctrine, faith healing (1 Peter 1:24Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)), and the right to riches as a Christian (John 10:10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available); Romans 8:32Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). John says, “I feel so much regret over being so caught up in this thing for years… and it is a comfort to my soul to perhaps be used to pull even one soul out of this deception…” and “This doctrine of the word of faith cannot stand up to Biblical scrutiny and Biblical context!” You will not want to miss this episode!

John Calvin said that if the doctrine of justification by faith alone was removed “The glory of Christ is extinguished, religion is abolished, the church destroyed, and the hope of salvation utterly overthrown.” So, how are we justified as sinners before God? What do justification and faith mean? Matt Slick joins BRIDGE Radio to teach and help Christians understand the importance of the doctrine of Justification by Faith Alone.

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

BRIDGE Radio and J.P Holding refute and unpack the Christ Myth and the Pagan Copycat Theory. We discuss its origins, false assertions in history, outright deception along with J.P. Holding’s book Shattering The Christ Myth. We debunked false comparisons of pagan gods to Jesus and the story in the Gospels, such as Horus, Mithras, and Dionysus. Shattering The Christ Myth is a scholarly masterpiece, containing multiple authors who are leaders in their respected fields and expert researchers. Everyone should give this book a read and have it in their library. It not only addresses the history of pagan gods during and after Jesus time but also prior gods who existed before the incarnation of Christianity.
