From the halls of academia to pulpits on Sunday, are pastors and scholars worlds apart on current issues facing the Church? What about essential doctrine? Can the gap between these worlds be bridged? Join Dr. Cory Marsh, Professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary, and Pastor Ryan Day of Revolve Bible Church, as each offers his own unique perspective on matters Christians wrestle with today.

  • EP 46 | Can a Dispensationalist be a Calvinist?
    May 26 2026

    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.

  • EP 45 | Measuring Church Health by Baptisms
    May 8 2026

    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?

  • EP 44 | Should Churches Downplay the Topic of Suffering
    Mar 24 2026

    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.
