Ecclesiastes, Joy, and Life Under the Sun with Bobby Jamieson
In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Jamieson, senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Chapel Hill and author of the insightful new book Everything Is Never Enough: Ecclesiastes' Surprising Path to Resilient Happiness. Bobby draws on his scholarly background and pastoral heart to guide us through Ecclesiastes—not as a gloomy tragedy, but as a gateway to deeper, enduring joy grounded in God’s goodness.
We dig into themes like ambition, burnout, fleeting pleasures, and finding satisfaction unmasked by the relentless pursuit of “more.” Bobby shows how this ancient wisdom speaks directly into our fast-paced, high-expectation culture, pointing us toward a joy that lasts.

Athanasius, Incarnation, and the Renewal of the World with Jeremy Treat
In this episode, we’re joined by Jeremy Treat, pastor for preaching and vision at Reality LA and author of the new book, On the Incarnation: The Good News of Jesus for the Renewal of the World. Drawing from the brilliance of Athanasius—an early church father who defended the full divinity of Christ—Treat makes ancient theology come alive for modern readers.
We explore how Athanasius's Christ-centered theology speaks to the cosmic scope of salvation, the brokenness of our world, and the beauty of Jesus’s incarnation. Jeremy also shares how theology and pastoral ministry intersect in his own life, and why recovering the early church’s voice matters today.

Whether you're new to church history or looking to go deeper into the Incarnation, this episode will help you see why the theology of Athanasius still matters—and why Jesus didn’t just save souls, but came to renew everything.

Baptists, Tradition, and the Great Retrieval with Ian Clary
Are Baptists just LARP-ing when they talk about tradition and retrieval? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ian Clary—historian, theologian, and co-host of Into Theology—to explore how Baptists fit within both the Protestant and broader catholic tradition. We dive into questions of church history, patristic theology, and the resurgence of retrieval among younger evangelicals. Can Baptists draw from the deep wells of Nicaea, Augustine, and Aquinas without losing their distinctives? Are we heirs or imposters in the great tradition? Find out in this episode.
