Theology Mom || All The Things

I sit down with Anglican priest Fr Hayden Butler to explore the historic Christian understanding of forgiveness, repentance, and healing broken relationships. Drawing on the ancient faith tradition, we examine what the early church and classic theologians taught about our participation in God’s reconciling work, and how the “already and not yet” of the kingdom ought to shape our approach to mending broken relationships.

I share the unexpected personal journey on forgiveness—and why studying this topic has proved to be one of the most challenging of my three-decade career. Rather than jumping straight into the debates about forgiveness, I lay out a “mere forgiveness model”: ten essential beliefs about forgiveness that I think Bible-believing Christians can widely affirm. This foundational teaching aims to bring clarity, reduce online division, and create common ground before we explore the main areas of in-house disagreement.

Krista is joined by Dr. Joe Miller for a careful biblical response to Dale Partridge’s recent teaching on the Curse of Ham. They walk through Genesis 9, examine claims about federal headship, racial destinies, and church history, and explain why this old error does not hold up under a plain reading of the text or the larger story of Scripture. The conversation also addresses why this idea is appealing to some Gen Z young men.
