Theology Central

Theology Central

Theology Central is a podcast dedicated to deep theological analysis, critical sermon reviews, and doctrinal clarity in an age of confusion. Each episode explores Scripture through a confessional, law and gospel lens—rejecting celebrity-driven faith and focusing on truth, not trends. From exegetical teaching to historical theology and cultural critique, this podcast challenges mainstream assumptions and calls the church back to serious, Scripture-centered thinking. Expect honest engagement with difficult texts, critical interaction with popular Christian messages, and a refusal to compromise biblical fidelity for modern relevance. Topics include biblical exegesis, sermon reviews, church history, spiritual deception, false teaching, and the danger of politicized Christianity.”

Seminaries teach hermeneutics — but do their preaching courses follow the same rules? In this episode, I explore the disconnect between biblical interpretation and sermon preparation, and ask: when does faithful exposition go off the rails — in the classroom, or the pulpit?
