Have You Not Read?
“Have You Not Read?” is a podcast that seeks to answer your questions, on literally any subject, by shining the light of God’s Word on them. Pastor Michael is joined by a rotating line-up of guest hosts to tackle questions about theology, culture, current events and more. Our thesis is that Scripture is sufficient to give us the truthful answers to all of life’s questions. The Bible is a cogent and coherent whole that presents the only valid lens through which all of reality can and must be understood. If you have questions you would like “Have You Not Read?” to tackle, please submit them at the following link: https://www.ssbcokc.org/have-you-not-read/
Episodes
Join Michael, Chris, Andrew and Dillon as they respond to two listener questions: is patriotism is sinful, and were the Crusaders genuine Christians? Does giving up the love of the world require us to give up love of nation? The Crusaders loved their nations, and Christendom in general, but held to Catholic doctrine. As Protestants, how should we understand their faith?
