When objective truth is no longer valued, subjective experience fills the void and we end up being guided by internal feelings and emotions. The result of this is that even what Scripture refers to as sinful passions and desires (Rom 7:5) are no longer seen as things to be resisted, but in many cases have become the essential ingredients of the twenty-first century self. “What I feel has become synonymous with who I am.” Listen to the hosts discuss this and more in this thoughtful episode.

Brand Me
In today’s consumer culture, the customer is king. But do all our consumer preferences end up determining our identity? What if our desires and preferences have been shaped and manipulated by a culture of marketing? Who are we then? On this program, the hosts will introduce this new White Horse Inn series as they explore issues related […]

Generation Me
Who are millennials, and how is their basic outlook on life different from preceding generations? According to some studies, the period in which you were born has more influence on your personality than the parents who raised you. What are the implications of this, and how do generational differences relate to the concept of personal […]

You Are Not Your Own
In the ancient world, if someone wished to free a slave, he would first have to pay the redemption price. In the same way, Paul says to those who have been redeemed by Christ, “You are not your own, but were bought with a price” (1Cor 6:19-20). The hosts will discuss the implications of this […]

Same-Sex Attraction
What should we think about the issue of same-sex attraction? Is it essentially the same as being gay? How does the issue of sexual preference relate to our identity as Christians, and how are we to talk about our differences with others in a world that is increasingly accepting of homosexuality and same-sex marriage? On […]

Millennials & Christian Education
On this program, Michael Horton talks with Jim Belcher, author of Deep Church and In Search of Deep Faith. Among other things, Mike talks with Jim about his new role as president of Providence Christian College in Pasadena, California, and the challenges associated with fostering true Christian discipleship among today’s millennials in a college setting.

Identity in the Age of the Selfie
Whether in movies, commercial advertisements, or social media, we’re constantly bombarded with images of the good life. But images are often manipulated and, in the process, so are we. Have we bought into the assumptions of consumerism, materialism, and autonomy? How should Christians think about the issue of identity in our time? On this program, […]

Pop Culture, Technology, & Worship
What is the impact of technology on the way we live and think as Christians? How has popular culture changed the way we worship on Sunday mornings? On this edition of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton discusses these issues with T. David Gordon, author of Why Johnny Can’t Preach and Why Johnny Can’t Sing Hymns (originally aired Aug 12, 2012).

The Wee Little Man and the Crescendo of Grace
We all have a list of people we think don’t deserve grace, and you’re likely on somebody else’s. And this, I think, was precisely Jesus’s point. He was more than willing to hobnob with the despised and rejected if it meant restoring them. He knew what Zacchaeus was and invited himself over anyway.

What Does It Mean to Walk in the Light?
This also highlights why being a part of a good church is so important. You might be trying to live the Christian life and fight against your sin totally in isolation on your own. It’s so important for us to be in solid Bible teaching churches where the word of God is faithfully preached, where […]

The Seven Deadly Sins of Pastoral Ministry with Jamin Goggin

A Sympathetic High Priest
“God may pity me, but he could never understand me.” Don’t we often feel that way, especially when confronted with the darkest parts of the human heart—both in ourselves and others? In this moving and pastorally rich opening presentation […]
