In this video, Christian Barrett explores the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament — The Shepherd of Hermas, The Apostles’ Creed, and The Didache. Each of these ancient texts reveals what the early church believed about repentance, baptism, discipleship, and the nature of faith. Learn how early Christians practiced believer’s baptism, confessed their faith through creeds, and sought holiness in a pagan world. Perfect for anyone studying early church history, patristics, Christian doctrine, or Protestant theology. Lastly, Christian highlights why Protestants should rediscover the wisdom and devotion of the early churchDiscussion Questions:1. How could the early church’s writings help believers remain unified as the gospel spread across the Roman Empire?2. Tertullian said that the “Rule of Faith” came directly from the Apostles. What does this say about the continuity of the Christian faith?3. What stood out to you about the early Christian practices of baptism, fasting, or communion?4. What does the “Two Ways” (the way of life and the way of death) teach us about discipleship today?5. What do these three writings together teach us about what the early church valued most?

In this video, Christian and Ross explore the urgent need for discipleship in the church today. Starting with Donald Trump’s shocking comment about heaven, they unpack the issues shaping Christianity — from the rise of AI, to “TikTok theology,” to the cost of truly following Jesus.The next generation is asking big questions: How do I get into heaven? Why do we settle for shallow theology? What does it really mean to be a disciple of Christ? Their discussion tackles these challenges head-on and points back to the only solution — knowing Christ, living as His disciples, and thinking like Christians.

From opposition to the deity of Christ, to the rise of proto-Gnosticism, to the pluralism of pagan culture, and even internal conflicts like the Jerusalem Council—Christians in the first century wrestled with many of the same issues we see in our modern “pre-Christian” world.In this lecture, Christian Barrett explores:- Why the Jewish leaders opposed Jesus and the early Christians- How "Proto-Gnostic" ideas threatened the church’s doctrine- Paul’s bold response to paganism in Athens (Acts 17)- The Jerusalem Council’s decision and its impact on salvation by grace- How these early challenges equip us to face today’s cultural and spiritual questionsWhether you’re a student, pastor, or just curious about church history, this teaching will help you see that “there is nothing new under the sun”—and that the gospel is still the power of God for every generation.00:15- How studying history can help us face our challenges today07:31- The First Challenge: Judaism8:50- Why did the Jews kill Jesus?19:54- The Second Challenge: Proto-Gnosticism28:39- The Third Challenge: Paganism34:13- The Fourth Challenge: LegalismDiscussion Questions:1.

The story of the church begins in the book of Acts. From the risen Christ commissioning His disciples, to Pentecost and the spread of the gospel, the early Christians turned the world upside down. In this lecture, we’ll explore the foundation of church history: the mission of the apostles, the convictions of the first believers, and the sacrifices of the martyrs.This is the first lecture in our Christian History and Theology Course. Together, we’ll see how faithful, flawed, but fruitful saints carried the gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth—and why their story still matters today.

Topics Covered:

Why church history matters today

Acts as the first “history book” of the church

The mission of the apostles and the Great Commission

Convictions of the early church (prayer, Scripture, baptism, Lord’s Supper, discipleship)

How persecution and martyrdom shaped Christianity

Why the early church is our story as believers today.

• False prophecies about the rapture (including Sept 23–24, 2025 predictions).

• Where the idea of the rapture came from (Darby, Scofield, and beyond).

The tragic death of Charlie Kirk marks more than the loss of a cultural leader — it highlights the civilizational moment we find ourselves in. In this video, Christian Barrett examines what his assassination means for Western values, the culture war, and the urgent need for Christians to stand for truth in the global public square. From questions of suffering to the influence of thinkers like Os Guinness and how we should see the difference between 1776 and 1789, he explores how believers can respond with conviction and hope as salt and light in this civilizational moment. This video also considers the secular agenda shaping our culture, the call to revival and renewal, and what Charlie Kirk’s legacy means for the future of Western values.

👉 If you care about Christian faith, Western civilization, and the future of culture, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this video, Christian Barrett compares how the Roman Catholic Church canonizes saints with how the Bible defines sainthood. He looks at Pope Leo XIV's recent canonization of two new saints (Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati), explores what that means, and asks how someone officially becomes a saint in Catholicism. He also dives into the more important question: what does Scripture teach about sainthood, righteousness, and who truly belongs to God?

Who is the church really for — believers, seekers, or both? In this video, Christian Barrett explores the purpose of the local church, the role of expositional preaching, and whether church should primarily be outreach-driven.

Along the way, he responds to Joël Malm’s perspective, examines what makes a Biblical sermon, and discusses whether outreach and exegetical preaching stand in contrast with one another. We’ll also touch on how worship music (with references to Brandon Lake and Bryce Crawford) plays into the larger conversation.

Is Penal Substitutionary Atonement biblical? In this video, Christian Barrett responds to John Mark Comer’s recent comments about PSA and why this doctrine is essential to the gospel. Many Christians today are confused about atonement theories, but the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus died as our substitute, bearing the penalty for our sins so that we might be reconciled to God. This is the message of salvation, and one worth talking about and defending.

📖 In this teaching, we’ll walk through what penal, substitutionary, and atonement actually mean, why denying PSA is dangerous, and how Scripture defends this core truth of Christianity.

🔥 If you’ve ever heard critics call the cross “cosmic child abuse” or wondered why Jesus had to die, this video will help you see why Penal Substitutionary Atonement is not just a theory—it’s the heart of the gospel.

In this video, Christian Barrett reacts to several Catholic and Protestant Instagram Reels featuring voices like Father David Michael, Voice of Reason, and Ed Young. These reels cover topics such as Mary and Catholic devotion, salvation by faith vs works, and what the church is called to do.

As a Protestant, he shares his perspective on questions like:

• Can salvation come through works, or is it by grace through faith?

• How do Catholics view Mary compared to Protestants?

• What is the biblical definition of the Church?

Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, or just curious, I hope this video helps you think deeply about Mary, salvation, and the gospel of grace.

What is real Protestantism? In this video, Christian Barrett responds to common Catholic criticisms of the Protestant church, including claims that Protestant worship is just emotionalism, that it’s disconnected from historic Christianity, and that it’s more Americanized than Roman Catholicism.

Drawing from Protestant church history and the Protestant Reformation, Christian looks at what the Bible and historic Protestant confessions actually say about worship, preaching, and the local church. This is a fair, biblical, and historical answer to the Protestant vs Catholic conversation.

In a powerful episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, former Navy SEAL Chadd Wright boldly proclaimed the  Gospel. This video breaks down the conversation and highlights five biblical truths we must remember from a short clip in their conversation.

From confronting the idea that the Cross is foolishness to the world to the reality that we are dead apart from Christ, Chadd’s words weren’t just motivational—they were eternal. If you’ve ever wondered how to speak about faith in secular spaces, this breakdown is for you.
