The guys have Dr. Paul Maxwell in to talk about his perspective on masculinity. This conversation not only shows how complicated the issue of masculinity is, but also provides a helpful way to think through it in some fresh ways. Why is masculinity and femininity so controversial? Can we differentiate between the two in meaningful ways? This is deep stuff, so be sure to read his article or watch his video on The Crisis of Masculinity in a Postmodern Age. Go deep with Paul at his website, Selfwire, where Paul engages modern intellectual issues from a conservative Christian perspective. Be sure to subscribe to the Selfwire Podcast and his Youtube channel. You can also get fit with Paul at the Theofit website and podcast. And while you’re at it, check out Paul’s book, Pious Irreverence, published under his weird pseudonym, “Dov Weiss.” SPONSOR Trace the Themes is a free Bible study by pastor Spence Shelton that will help you trace the themes of Scripture as they unfold from Genesis to Revelation.

Dr. Jim Renihan. We don’t need to say any more. Jim “The Man” Renihan. That means this is a great episode worth your time. But for those who do not know, Jim is a theologian, author, and serves as the President of IRBS Theological Seminary. His forthcoming book, For the Vindication of the Truth A Brief Exposition of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith, is an important and helpful book all our listeners will benefit from. Why did Dr. Renihan write a book on the First London Confession? How is it different from the Second London Confession? Can we expect an exposition of the 1689? This new book is not yet available, but we will let you know as soon as pre-orders are available. THE 2020 DOCTRINE AND DEVOTION CONFERENCE Doctrine and Devotion's fourth annual conference is Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19, 2020 in St. Charles, IL. Our theme for this two-day conference is Covenant Theology: God's Promises for God's People.
