RCF Podcast

Sometimes we can have a wrong view of the church. What are the dangers of thinking wrongly about the church? And what does the Bible say about the church? Does it only speak positively of it? We'll discuss this challenging topic in this episode of the RCF Podcast. 

One of the most popular verses of the Bible today is Matthew 7:1, where Jesus tells us not to judge others. What does that verse mean? Did Jesus really want us to refrain from ever calling someone out if they are living in sin? We discuss this topic on this episode of the RCF Podcast.

We usually like to think deeply about the love of God. But the hatred of God seems off-limits. What does the Bible say about God and hate? Can God actually hate someone? Or does He just hate sinful things that a person does? This is the topic of our podcast this week. Randall Curtis joins us again to cover this difficult subject.

1 John 4:8 says that "God is love." What does that mean? Can we also say that love is God? Does God always act in the most loving ways toward every person? These are some of the questions that are addressed in this episode of the RCF Podcast as Randall Curtis joins us once again.

Why is commitment important to the Christian life? What are the ways that we measure commitment? And why do we hesitate to commit? On this episode of the podcast, we discuss these things and how Scripture guides us regarding commitment. 

Why do we get lonely? Where is God in our loneliness? What should we do when we get lonely? These are some of the questions that we're addressing on this episode of the RCF podcast. We'll give a biblical outlook on this common problem in order to provide you with hope!

Why do we gather for worship? And why do we sing? On this episode of the RCF Podcast, we'll talk about how Scripture informs our worship and why we need to worship together with other Christians. TJ Chestnut (from FBC Sudbury, MA) joins the podcast to discuss.

Does God still do miracles today? What is a miracle? Many people will have different answers for these questions, so we need to look to the Bible to formulate our understanding. This episode of the RCF Podcast seeks to help you have a biblical view of miracles.

Some say that God speaks to us still today in various ways, while others argue that God only speaks through Scripture in the present day. What should we make of this dilemma? Is God speaking to us through a still small voice, impressions, or other means? What should we consider as we think about extrabiblical revelation and seek the truth? Rex Fisher joins the podcast to discuss this subject. 

The previous episode of the podcast discussed Judges 19. But the story doesn't stop there. What happened next? A civil war. And what lessons should we learn from it? That's what we'll talk about in this episode of the RCF Podcast as Randall Curtis, pastor of Frenchtown Church, joins us again.

"The Bible says that we're no longer under law, but under grace, so we don't have to worry about what we do since God will forgive us." Perhaps you've said something similar, or you've at least heard it from another professing Christian. But is that really how God's grace works? This week's episode will dig into the truth about grace. Jim Sole joins us to discuss this important topic.

At some point in life, everyone asks the questions "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" Everyone searches for identity and purpose in life. How does Scripture help us answer these questions? One of our RCF alumni, Tolani Olagundoye, joins us to discuss these questions and how we can find answers.  

In this episode of the RCF Podcast, Jim Menzies provides some helpful insight from the writings of CS Lewis. We talk especially about having dialogue with those whom we disagree. CS Lewis was a gifted apologist of the Christian faith, and these practical insights will be useful for today's Christian in learning to defend the faith.

It’s important not to live without any regard to the past. That is especially true in regard to Christianity and the church. How does studying the church’s past help us today? Find out on this week’s episode of the RCF Podcast. Jonathan Sole joins the podcast to help us think about this topic.

This week's episode is part 2 on the topic of false teachers. How can we recognize wolves in sheep's clothing? What should we watch out for? The Scripture gives us guidance in this area, so we discuss some of those on this episode.

Jesus warned of wolves in sheep's clothing that would creep in the church. How can we spot them? Why do we need to be concerned about them? And how can we guard ourselves from their deception? In this week's episode of the RCF Podcast, we discuss this important topic and why it matters for college students.
