The Case for Baptizing Children (Part 2): A Follow-Up to My Interview with Samuel Parkison
A follow-up to my conversation with Samuel Parkison on baptism and the faith of children. We rightly guard against false assurance—but can that caution lead us to delay baptism too long? In this episode, we explore household theology, the “paedobaptist pull,” and the danger of penalizing kids for good catechesis or “boring” testimonies. How can Baptists recover discernment without drifting into legalism or despair?

The Case for Baptizing Children (Part 1) — with Samuel Parkison
Many Baptists delay baptism for children, but is that really faithful to Scripture and the church’s theology? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Samuel Parkison to discuss his provocative case for baptizing believing children. We explore why hesitation often stems from fear of “false professions,” how delaying baptism can unintentionally weaken our view of membership and the sacraments, and what it looks like to encourage genuine childhood piety without lapsing into legalism. Samuel also shares practical wisdom on how pastors and congregations can discern a child’s faith, navigate questions of “re-baptism,” and recover a healthier, grace-filled culture of catechesis.

Understanding the Story of Scripture — with Jonathan Linebaugh
If you’ve ever wondered how the Bible fits together—or how its story leads us to Jesus—this episode is for you. I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Linebaugh, New Testament scholar and expert on Paul’s theology, to explore how the law, grace, and gospel fit within the grand narrative of Scripture. We talk about how Paul reads the Old Testament, why the gospel is not just good advice but good news, and how grasping the biblical story can reshape the way we live as Christians today.

Baptists, Fundamentalism, and the Path of Retrieval — with Wyatt Graham
In this episode, I sit down with Wyatt Graham, Executive Director of The Davenant Institute and TGC Canada, to explore what it means for Baptists to embrace Protestant retrieval today. We trace how Baptists began as a renewal movement within the wider church, seeking to recover biblical faithfulness, and how that story speaks into our present moment.
Wyatt helps us wrestle with the dangers of fundamentalism, the temptation of fragmentation, and the hope of retrieval for shaping a deeper, more catholic, and more reformed Baptist identity. Together, we ask what it would look like for Baptists not merely to react to culture, but to recover the riches of the historic Christian tradition for the renewal of the church.
