In this vital episode, "Faith Alone, But Never Alone," we dive headfirst into one of the most intense debates in church history, seeking to shatter the confusion between legalism and lawlessness. We’ll start by anchoring ourselves in the glorious truth that we are saved by grace through faith, and that this is a gift from God, not a result of our own striving (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, we’ll pivot to the hard-hitting reality of Scripture, challenging the modern epidemic of "cheap grace" by examining why faith without action is not just weak—it is dead (James 2:17). As we wrestle with the apparent tension between Paul and James, we’ll discover that they aren’t enemies but allies, teaching us that while we are never saved by good works, we are absolutely saved for good works (Ephesians 2:10).

Central to our conversation will be the litmus test of true salvation—Jesus’ own warning that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" enters the Kingdom, but only those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21). We’ll peel back the layers of our own lives, asking if our faith is merely intellectual assent or a living allegiance to the King (Luke 6:46). And because a good tree cannot bear bad fruit (Matthew 7:18), we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our desires, moving us from duty to delight as we pursue holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16). This episode is a call to wake up—reminding believers that genuine faith always produces a transformed life, and that our obedience is the overflow of our love for Him (John 14:15). So whether you’re wrestling with doubt or ready to deepen your walk, get ready for a powerful time of theological clarity and conviction—because the Gospel doesn’t just save us from the penalty of sin; it saves us from the power of it!

Why do different Bibles have different books? What happened to ancient texts like Enoch, the Gospel of Thomas, or Susanna in Daniel 13? And no—despite what you've heard, the Council of Nicaea didn’t decide what belongs in your Bible.

In this eye-opening episode, Dylan and Jason dive into one of the most fascinating and misunderstood topics in Christian history: how we got the Bible. Together, they explore the formation of the biblical canon across centuries, separating fact from fiction and breaking down what was accepted, what was rejected, and why.

Topics Covered:

• What canon means and how early Christians recognized Scripture
• Why some books (like Enoch) were quoted but not canonized
• How the Greek Septuagint influenced Catholic and Orthodox Old Testaments
• The role of Church Fathers like Jerome and Augustine in shaping the canon
• A breakdown of key councils (Hippo, Carthage—not Nicaea!)
• Why books like the Gospel of Thomas or Shepherd of Hermas didn’t make the cut
• Differences between Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Ethiopian Bibles
• What the Reformation did—and didn’t do—to the biblical canon
• Debunking myths around “lost” books and conspiracy theories

Key Takeaways:

• Canon was recognized through usage, not voted into being
• Jude quoting Enoch doesn’t make Enoch Scripture—context matters
• Church tradition played a huge role—but not all traditions agree
• Despite differences, the core of the Bible has been incredibly consistent

Whether you're a curious believer, skeptical listener, or deep theology nerd, this episode brings historical clarity and gospel-centered truth to a topic that affects every Christian's faith foundation.
