Last night, I was privileged to be on the debut episode of Reformed Cast, a new weekly podcast hosted by Scott Oakland. Here’s some information about the podcast.
This weekly podcast is dedicated to the discussion of all things Reformed, including all aspects of Reformed theology and practice, as well as its relationship to the culture at large. We broadcast live on Ustream every Monday at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.
I was interviewed about fundamentalism and my change from fundamentalism to Reformed Theology. Here are the show notes, and a link to the mp3.
In our debut episode, we talked a little about the purpose of this podcast, and then entered into our discussion on fundamentalism with Bob Hayton. We discussed what fundamentalism is, its errors, and how it may be “reformed” into a more Biblical movement. Bob Hayton has a BA in Pastoral Theology with a Greek emphasis and a MA in Bible from Fairhaven Baptist College and Seminary in Chesterton, IN. He currently works in technical sales support for Boston Scientific, and actively serves at Beacon of Hope Church, St. Paul. Since 2005, he has been blogging theology at www.fundamentallyreformed.com. He is the founder of www.KJVOnlyDebate.com and can also be found at www.Re-Fundamentals.org and www.CrossFocusedReviews.com.
You can listen online here, or download the mp3 here. I encourage you to bookmark Scott’s site and subscribe to his podcast. Next week, Dr. Sean Michael Lucas of Covenant Theological Seminary will be on the program.
Great job on the interview, Bob. You represented yourself with grace and charity. I also thought you were very kind and fair in your assessment. Your sentiments reflect my experience in IFBism almost exactly. When I was IFB, I thought every church in my area was apostate at worst and compromised at best. The ‘big name’ guy in my movement was the greatest man since the Apostle Paul and anyone who didn’t think so was not faithful to God. I’m thankful that I’ve been rescued from such carnal, man-centered religion.
Thanks for your representation and for giving courage to people like me, who a few years ago felt as though I was on an island alone. Hopefully, IFB can once again be about Christ, the Gospel, and the Fundamentals of the Faith, and not about big names, big numbers, and the traditions of the fathers.
