Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 51 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we explore Paul's fascinating use of the Old Testament with Dr. Brent Belford, Faculty Associate of Pastoral Studies at Virginia Beach Theological Seminary. We discuss how Paul brings together passages of Scripture through composite quotations, how this practice relates to other writings of his time, and why it matters for understanding the New Testament. Does Paul's method of quoting the Old Testament raise questions about the inerrancy and infallibility of God's Word, or is there more to understand about how Scripture was used in the first century?  -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 50 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we sit down with Scott Bashoor, Associate Professor of Old Testament at the Virginia Beach Theological Seminary, to discuss biblical scholarship, the pastor’s responsibility to handle God’s Word carefully, and the holy longing at the heart of Psalm 84. Why did the psalmist deeply desire to be among God’s people, and what might our own desire for the church reveal about us? As Scripture declares, “My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD” (Psalm 84:2), this conversation challenges us to consider whether that same longing characterizes the church today.  -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 49 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we sit down with Dr. Gary E. Gilley, pastor, author, and theologian, to examine the growing influence of John Mark Comer, New Pietism, and the renewed emphasis on "practicing the way." As Scripture calls believers to "test everything" and hold fast to what is true, we explore why discernment is essential when popular movements reshape how Christians think about discipleship. Could something that appears deeply spiritual subtly lead believers away from the pattern of biblical discipleship?  -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 48 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we sit down with Dr. Richard Bargas, Executive Director of the IFCA, to explore why the IFCA continues to champion biblical faithfulness in a rapidly changing church culture and why this year's theme, Holy Ambition, has sparked an important conversation. What should truly drive the church, and are today's ambitions aligned with God's Word? As Paul wrote, "I make it my ambition to preach the gospel" (Romans 15:20), inviting every believer to examine whether their greatest pursuit is ultimately Christ's. -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 47 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we see that Scripture teaches that every believer has been gifted for the building up of Christ's body, yet many Christians spend their entire lives wondering where they fit. Are spiritual gifts something we discover through assessments, experience, or the ordinary means God has already provided? This conversation wrestles with one of the most practical and misunderstood questions in the church today, not merely to satisfy curiosity, but to ask what happens when God's people neglect the very gifts He gave them for the good of others.   -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 46 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we ask if a Christian can hold to both Calvinism and Dispensationalism, or if these systems ultimately collide. Behind the labels are deeper questions about salvation, God’s sovereignty, Israel, the Church, and how Scripture should be interpreted. We wrestle with why these debates exist in the first place and whether a literal, historical reading of the Bible leads somewhere many Christians never expected. Some theological combinations are more controversial than people realize.   -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 45 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we ask what if the way we measure “church health” isn’t as clear as we think? Scripture calls us to make disciples, not just count visible responses, yet we often look for numbers to tell the story. In this conversation, we wrestle with what baptism truly signifies, what it doesn’t, and whether our metrics reflect genuine spiritual life or something more surface level. If faith comes by hearing and obedience flows from the heart, are we asking the right questions about growth and fruit?   -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 44 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we discuss how Jesus spoke of life, yet also called His followers to take up their cross and follow Him. Scripture doesn’t shy away from suffering, but what happens when the church does? In a culture drawn to comfort and positivity, this conversation wrestles with whether something essential is being left unsaid. If we misunderstand suffering, we may misunderstand the very path Christ calls us to walk.   -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 43 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we ask what it means to recover something that was never meant to be reinvented. In a time when labels shift and identities blur, we ask whether the word evangelical still carries the weight of a high view of Scripture, the exclusivity of Christ, and a zeal for gospel proclamation. If the church is “the pillar and support of the truth,” what happens when truth itself becomes negotiable? This conversation presses beyond slogans and into the question beneath them all: are we still anchored to the Word that defines us?  To purchase and learn more about Dr. Cory Marsh's book, visit: https://a.co/d/03kVj3Df -------------------------------------------------- ABOUT PASTOR | SCHOLAR We bring together the local church and Christian academia to discuss Scripture, theology, and questions that matter to the Christian life.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 42 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we see that missions are not sustained by passion alone, but by truth rightly understood. Scripture warns that zeal without knowledge leads astray, and what we believe about God will shape how we proclaim Him to the nations. If Christ and His Word are not central, even well meaning missions can mislead.  Chad Vegas is the founding pastor of Sovereign Grace Church in Bakersfield, California, where he has served since planting the church in 2006 after completing his M.A. in Theology at Talbot School of Theology. He is the founding board chairman of Radius International and Radius Theological Institute, the founding vice chairman of Providence Classical Academy, and the author of By What Standard? as well as a co author of Missions By The Book.

Send us Fan Mail Join us on Episode 41 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we see that throughout Scripture, God reveals His faithfulness to His promises and His saving purposes for both Jew and Gentile. We explore gospel ministry among Jewish people and the enduring hope found in Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah. As the Word exposes humanity’s need for redemption, it calls every person to repent of sin and believe in Christ alone, in whom forgiveness and life are found.  Isaac Brickner serves as the Los Angeles Branch Leader for Jews for Jesus, continuing a family legacy of sharing the good news of the Messiah that began with his great-great-grandmother Esther in Ukraine. Raised in San Francisco, Isaac grew up deeply connected to Jews for Jesus through Camp Gilgal and later embraced God’s calling on his life during a formative missions trip to Israel and India in 2008.

With headlines claiming revival and church attendance on the rise, how should believers discern what’s truly happening?
