#413 Reclaiming Evangelicalism
In this week’s episode, Pastor Paxton sits down with Pastor Nic to discuss what evangelicalism truly means beyond its modern political associations, defining it as a 2,000-year-old reform movement focused on returning to the simple, biblical gospel of Jesus rather than accumulating religious traditions and rituals. They go into how High Point Church aims to embody this evangelical spirit through constant reform and spiritual renewal, emphasizing that Christianity's power comes not from elaborate church programs but from believers sacrificing and loving others in their everyday lives, just as early Christians did when they stayed during plagues to care for their neighbors.

#410 Can we really trust the Bible? // Ask Me Anything [AMA]
This Ask Me Anything episode features pastors Adam Darbon and Sawyer Henderson in a discussion about Sawyer’s recent sermon on 1 Corinthians 15, addressing listener questions about biblical interpretation, canon formation, and why the Bible can be trusted over other religious texts like the Quran or Book of Mormon. The conversation emphasizes that while scripture itself is clear and authoritative, differences in interpretation arise from human limitations, and believers should approach the Bible with both confidence in its sufficiency and humility about their own understanding.
