Gaming Alone

December 14, 2022 05:00 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MB

Nearly all American teenage boys—97 percent of them—play video games. On average, they spend more than two hours a day maneuvering in digital worlds.  For two out of five teen boys, that feels like too much time. They’re probably right. Though  it’s impossible to draw a direct link, it’s hard not to notice that as gaming grows, males are falling farther behind girls in school, in joining the work force, and in starting families.  As Reformed Christians, we aren’t ready to give up on video...

Why Sinclair Ferguson Moved Back to Scotland’s Most Secular City

October 03, 2022 04:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

When Sinclair Ferguson was growing up in Scotland in the 1950s, the culture was not only Christian but also Reformed. Ferguson memorized Bible passages at his public school, learned nighttime prayers from parents who weren’t believers, and attended church for years before converting to Christianity. In the years since, Ferguson has written more than 50 books, spoken at virtually every Reformed conference, and taught at nearly all the Reformed seminaries. Meanwhile, the Church of Scotland m...

Scrolling Alone

July 20, 2022 04:00 - 46 minutes - 42.1 MB

In 2009, about a quarter of American high school students said they had “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.” By last year it was up to 44 percent, the highest level of teenage sadness ever recorded. For girls, the rate rose to 57 percent. That means more than half of teenage girls feel persistently sad or hopeless. If you stood a teen from 2009 next to a teen from 2022, what would be the most noticeable difference between them? One of them would be on her phone. In this episod...

Escape from Kabul

April 29, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MB

When Joe Biden announced last April that all American troops would be leaving Afghanistan, those familiar with the country knew it would eventually fall to the Taliban. But nobody predicted it would collapse before the Americans had even left the country. Caught off guard, Afghans began to run, especially those who feared for their lives—former government employees, American interpreters, and Christians. The Christians were especially interesting, because while conversion was illegal even ...

Coming April 29: Escape from Kabul

April 22, 2022 04:00 - 1 minute - 1.13 MB

“It’s time for American troops to come home. We’ll do it responsibly; deliberately and safely and responsibly,” announced President Biden last summer. Instead, we watched panicked Afghans swarming the tarmac of the Kabul airport and hanging off the fuselages of departing jets.  In August 2021, before American soldiers had even cleared the airport, Taliban troops overran the entire country. You know that story, but we want to tell you another one of what God was doing—and what he’s still do...

Final Call for T4G

November 17, 2021 05:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MB

Last month, Mark Dever and Ligon Duncan announced that the T4G conference planned for April 2022 in Louisville would be the last. The successful pastors' conference spanned 16 years, gathering Reformed pastors from a range of denominations. The last in-person conference, in 2018, drew more than 12,000. Attendees loved the preaching, the music, the books, and the fellowship. So it was a surprise to hear it was coming to an end. Sarah Zylstra explains how T4G got started, why it was a risk, a...

Remembering 9/11: The Day the Sky Turned Black

September 08, 2021 04:00 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MB

On September 11, 2001, Christina and Brian Stanton were blown back into their apartment and knocked unconscious by the impact of the second plane hitting the south World Trade Center tower. Four miles north, the staff of Redeemer Presbyterian Church climbed out a window onto a balcony. From there, they saw both towers collapse. Four hours south, the staff of Capitol Hill Baptist Church could feel the reverberations of the plane slamming into the Pentagon. Half a country away, John Piper lo...

In these stories of loss, trau...
