Hey everyone. We're back this week with the second episode of The Scottish Tempest. In this episode I'll be covering the period from Knox's conversion to Protestantism until his initial exile from Scotland. There's a lot that happens during that period; his best friend dies, he is the subject of a manhunt, there's an assassination, some people take over a castle, he becomes a pastor at said castle, they try to make alliance with the English and ultimately, they all become slaves to the French. There is, of course, a lot of historical background and context as well because the politics of England, France, Scotland, and Rome all have indirect (and some times direct) bearing on Knox's story. It's a long one, and I hope you enjoy it. If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at wm.wts.edu.

He also happens to be a student in the Master of Theological Studies (MATS) program here at Westminster and is set to graduate next month. Brandon McLean Smith sits down with Luke to talk about the MATS program, what brought him to WTS, how his education might impact his career as a songwriter, and also about the country music industry in general. It was an honor and pleasure to chat with Luke and we hope you enjoy listening. If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content like it at wm.wts.edu.

Hey everyone. Dr. Brandon Crowe is one of the most prolific authors on the faculty at Westminster and teaches several classes here. Nate sits down to talk with him about his approach to teaching New Testament. They cover a lot of topics, but one thing that shines through is how Biblical Theology, Redemptive History, and Systematic Theology are woven together in a way that highlights the interconnected nature of the theological disciplines in the curriculum at Westminster.

Dr. Mark Farnham graduated from Westminster's PhD program in Apologetics. His book, "Every Believer Confident" was recently released by P&R Publishing. He currently teaches at Lancaster Bible College. Nate sits down with Dr. Farnham to discuss apologetics and how every Christian believer is equipped to do the work of apologetics. It's not just a discipline for those who are trained philosophers or expert theologians. The early Christians didn't get sent off to Athens to learn Aristotelian philosophy before they were allowed to engage their friends and neighbors in evangelism. The Scriptures are sufficient for apologetics. If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at wm.wts.edu.

Hey everyone. I hope you're enjoying the interviews with Dr. Shannon. We've been having a great time getting this content produced and out for the world to hear. This week we're releasing the first episode in a series on the life of John Knox. Ever since I heard about some of the stories from the life of John Knox in a Church History course on the Reformation at Westminster, I've been fascinated by him. That's why this project is pretty near to my heart. There's a lot of material on John Knox out there but, not really in this medium, as far as I know. So if you enjoy it, let us know. Also, if you are enjoying this content, you can find plenty more like it at wm.wts.edu.

When it comes to the Christian life Orthodoxy (right belief), Orthopraxy (right practice), and Doxology (worship) work together like a 3-fold braided cord. If any of the 3 are compromised, the whole cord suffers. So, at Westminster, we don't just commit to theological education in the abstract. Some might be tempted to say "I'm just going to study theology and not worry about my moral life, my personal relationship with God, or the quality of my worship. I'll deal with those things later." To do so is actually to misunderstand theology in the first place. You cannot have good theology without a heart for the Lord. In this episode Nate Shannon sits down with Jerry McFarland to discuss how Westminster commits the sanctification of our student body.
