In this episode of Deformed Theology, we confront a question many believers avoid: has your church—your denomination—held firm to Scripture, or has it slowly been reshaped by the pressure of culture? We take a hard look at the current state of major Christian denominations in light of Scripture, history, and theology.
From Baptist to Methodist, Presbyterian to Pentecostal, we break down the beliefs, doctrines, and shifts that have occurred over time. We examine key doctrines like eschatology, the gifts of the Spirit, and the authority of Scripture. We also talk through controversial changes in modern church culture, such as the rise of progressive theology, the redefining of marriage, and the erosion of biblical authority.
But this isn’t just about “those other churches.” We challenge ourselves—and our listeners—to examine where our own theology might be shaped more by tradition, emotion, or preference than by the Word of God. We discuss how denominations can either serve the unity of the faith or fracture it, and we ask what it looks like to be a Christian shaped by Scripture alone.
Is your theology being formed by the Word—or deformed by the world?
Tune in as we explore what happens when culture begins to write doctrine, and what it means to stay grounded in truth in an age of compromise.
If you’ve ever wondered where your church stands—or where you should—this one’s for you.
