The Flaming Sword
The Flaming Sword
Darin and Joel
Apologetics is the defense of the Christian faith. We discuss anything from why we believe what we believe, to Biblical Eschatology (study of end times). The bible is the "Sword of the Spirit", so we're armed and ready! Darin is a husband, father, and grandfather of four who enjoys apologetics. Joel is a husband, father, and pastor who loves to see other people love Jesus. Join us (and our occasional guest) for a fun, enlightening Podcast, where we give the basics, but point you to deeper studies and resources. We take God and His Word seriously; ourselves, not so much!
Ep. 25 - Colossians study finished - check... end of season 1- check... oh my, now what?
We (Darin and Joel) conclude not only our study in Colossians, but also season 1 of this Podcast. We'd like to thank our listeners and our guest. We also talk a bit about future plans, so don't miss it! Amen brother! God-bless!

Ep. 24- Colossians 3:5-17 Put off, put on, rinse, repeat!
Moving on in our study, we cover Colossians Chap 3:5-17, which is famous for its "put offs" and "put ons", making it an easy to remember and applicable discipline to the Christian life. Darin and Joel had fun with this one (of course when don't we have fun), hitting each point in our faced paced format and leading us up to our final Podcast next which includes "submission"-oh my!

Moving right along in our Colossians study, we discuss many topics from legalism, false religion, mysticism, and asceticism.

Ep. 22 - Colossians continued; baptism saves? nailed to the cross?, Darin needs coffee...?
After a week off, we pick up where we left off in Colossians Chap 2:6. We discuss many things including baptism, law, exactly what was nailed to the cross, and reiterate our emphasis on Christ alone! Fun and interesting, with a touch of humor as usual.

Ep. 21 - Colossians continued, woo hoo! Suffering, nations without hope, and all wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. Amen to that!
We pick up where we left off in Colossians, starting in Chap. 1 verse 24. Joel tells a slightly politically incorrect joke, but Darin gets on him for a different reason (way to cover his buddy). We discuss suffering and how the nations were without hope, but in Christ, everyone is offered salvation. Everything is in Christ, all wisdom and knowledge.  Join us for a fun, fast paced, and thought provoking bible study!

Ep. 20 - The Star of Bethlehem; natural event? miracle? Carmine Hetrick presents a real doozy!
We interrupted our Bible Study in Colossians for a special Christmas time treat. Carmine Hetrick was back and this was a very thought provoking and interesting presentation on what the star of Bethlehem may have been.  This is one of those episodes we could have went on and on in discussion.  While no one but God knows for sure what the actual star was, this plausible and exiting theory is well worth the listen.

Ep. 19 - Colossians week 3; kingdom now, that bloody religion, and Christ IS God. Woo-hoo!
We start with a little kingdom talk taking up with verse 13 from last time, then we discuss "that bloody religion" with verse 14, followed by the heart of the matter with verses 15-19 of Chap. 1. These passages are deep, exciting, rich with Christ, and even hard to contemplate as they picture Christ as co-equal with God the Father. We close out with verse 23, for another great Podcast with a lot of fun, but also a serious message. God-bless!

Ep. 18 - Colossians continued-faith, works, the simple gospel, and more...we're all over the place!
After a fun but haphazard start, we continue our study in Colossians re-reading Chap. 1 vrs-4-5, then getting down to business with verse. 6. We manage to get to verse 14 before closing, but cover faith + works, the simple gospel, kingdom now, and why chastisement is a key way to tell whether you are in the faith or not. Good times, but serious message, all in one Podcast. Enjoy!

Ep. 17 - Colossians it is! Our first attempt at a bible study...Calvinism? Trinity? Yep, we go there...
Joel and Darin begin a series in Colossians and barely a few verses in, we run into the doctrine of election and the Trinity. Joel's joke pushes the limits, but hey, that's what we do. It was a blast to shoot; we love the Word of God and in our usual fast paced, but fun delivery, we get this series started off flying!
