The Bellator Christi Podcast with Pastor Brian Chilton

Christopher Burcham is the pastor of Union Hill Baptist Church in Clemmons, NC. In addition to being a pastor and former teacher of history, Pastor Burcham has had the distinct opportunity to have met the past eight Presidents of the United States. Pastor Burcham reminds the listener that behind the politics and the role, there is a human being filling the role of the President of the United States. In addition, Pastor Burcham reminds us that the Christian must find a delicate balance in his or her involvement in politics, remembering that the Christian holds a dual citizenship--one being that of the Kingdom of God.

On this episode of Redeeming Truth, hear the incredible testimony of Amanda Burcham. Mrs. Burcham grew up in a Mormon home before tragic events led her to agnosticism and later to the occult.

Mrs. Burcham would later serve as a Christian missionary to Hawaii, China, and Tibet sharing the transforming message of Christ Jesus. Hear how God can make a radical difference in a person's life in this incredible testimony.

Most Protestants have found themselves entrenched in debates surrounding the theological systems of John Calvin and Jacob Arminius. But did you know that there are more systems than just these? In fact, Thomas Aquinas and Luis de Molina offer systems that may hold better promise in reconciling divine sovereignty and human freedom than Calvin and Arminius' systems do. In this episode, we will examine the beliefs of Thomas Aquinas and Luis de Molina concerning sovereignty and human freedom. Finally, it will be shown why Pastor Brian has gravitated to a Thomist/Molinist concept known as "congruism."

Evangelism can be difficult when one is on friendly grounds. But what if one has entered hostile grounds...such as atheist and agnostic conferences or pagan festivals? Seem impossible? Think again. Devin and his wife Melissa Pellew do just that. In this episode, Pastor Brian interviews Mr. Pellew, a Southern Evangelical Seminary graduate, and host of "Theology Matters with the Pellews" about his evangelism and will ask for tips to give the ordinary Christian help with their evangelistic efforts.

You have probably heard about the controversy surrounding the "Four Blood Moons." Some popular teachers proclaim that these four blood moons represent the imminent coming of Christ. On a similar note, others online commentators are delivering some shocking messages pertaining to the return of Christ. In this episode, Pastor Brian will evaluate the "Four Blood Moon" teaching, will answer whether there is any validity to such popular prophetic codes, and will confront the issue of date-setting when it comes to the return of Christ (or "Extreme Eschatology").
