Jen Wilkin and Christians in Public Schools

This week, Chris discusses a recent video debate put out by The Gospel Coalition wherein Jen Wilkin made an argument that Christians should consider placing their children in public schools. However, she also tied this argument to the idea that public school involvement is a form of the command to love one's neighbor. Does such an argument have biblical merit?

Evangelical Emotionalism and the Sufficiency of Scripture

This week, Chris and Rich discuss the modern evangelical embrace of emotionalism in events such as the Asbury Revival and TV shows like The Chosen. Similar to progressivist teaching, which denies the sufficiency of Scripture as God's Word, emotionalism can undermine the Bible by declaring we need something more.
