August 24th, 2022

Kicking off his class on Scripture, the Self, and Society (which will use Carl Trueman's book Strange New World as a central resource), Dr. Michael Nicholson leads a tour of the world in which we find ourselves: transgenderism, drag, pronouns, and more. Then he does a short Bible study on the meaning of "identity."

Pulled Down and Built Up

August 21st, 2022

Jesus is Your Good Samaritan
