Theology Central

About

Theology Central is a podcast dedicated to deep theological analysis, critical sermon reviews, and doctrinal clarity in an age of confusion. Each episode explores Scripture through a confessional, law and gospel lens—rejecting celebrity-driven faith and focusing on truth, not trends. From exegetical teaching to historical theology and cultural critique, this podcast challenges mainstream assumptions and calls the church back to serious, Scripture-centered thinking.
Expect honest engagement with difficult texts, critical interaction with popular Christian messages, and a refusal to compromise biblical fidelity for modern relevance.

Topics include biblical exegesis, sermon reviews, church history, spiritual deception, false teaching, and the danger of politicized Christianity.”

Luke 17:19
