Years ago Mitch Schultz was asked to step in to pastor a church after the previous pastor had a moral failure. Little did he know that in addition to the hurt and fallout from the last pastor's affair, there were several significant problems in the church that were not disclosed. He went through tremendous hurt, but gained valuable insight on how churches should apply discipline and how churches can be built up after devastation.

Daniel talks about Romans 8 and how our salvation is secure in God's decree from before the foundation of the world. He goes on to address questions related to the "blotted out" passages of Revelation 3:5-6 and Exodus 32:33.

Jesus is King

Recent decades have seen a decline in faithful, confessing Christians willing to give something more than mere lip service to the Kingdom of God. As Voddie Baucham says, evangelicalism has developed an unspoken “eleventh commandment” to be nice. It has been assumed that “niceness” is holiness. The contrary is often true. While we are to be kind, we are also commanded to contend for the faith (Jude 3). In this episode, we discuss what is at risk as “evangellyfish” focus more on being soft than on fighting for the faith. In this episode we will study Jude 1:3, 2 Cor. 11:3-4, Gal 1:6-9, 1 Tim 6:21-21, Phil 1.27, 2 Tim 2:15, and Titus 1:9.

Welcome to the Pugilist Podcast where we engage in theological fisticuffs, doctrinal insurgency, asymmetrical apologetic kung fu, rampart catechesis, sincere love, fellowship, and the joy of the Lord. TheGospel is central. It's of the utmost importance. However, you can’t dismiss issues as unimportant because they “aren’t the gospel” as every aspect of Scripture is tied to the gospel somehow. In this episode, we introduce the podcast and talk about why some "secondary issues" are still really important.
