The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We're here to help defend true, biblical Christianity from false theologies on all sides, from the pseudo-spiritualism of Progressive Christianity to the suffocating legalism of Torah-observant Christianity.
On this podcast we talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of teachers of questionable theology, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
The mission of Defending the Biblical Roots of Christianity is to promote biblical literacy (Prov. 7:2), systematically break down teachings that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), and lift high the beautiful Gospel of Jesus. Our goal is to contribute to the intellectual and theological aspects of making disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:19–20) and promote freedom from spiritual bondage (Gal. 5:1) while emphasizing unity in the body of Christ (John 13:35).

What's "New" About the New Covenant?
In this episode we study Jeremiah’s Old Covenant prophecy announcing God’s promise of a New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31–34. We’re going to answer the question: How does New Covenant differ from the Old Covenant? What exactly makes it new? We’ll look at its historical and prophetic context, the essence of what it is, and its fulfillment as prophecy. We’ll also look at who the New Covenant was made with and what it means that God will write his law (or his Torah) on their hearts. And in our discussion, we’ll be drawing a bit from the book "Sealed with an Oath" by Paul Williamson. We’ll also bring in comments from several other scholars. And I think you’ll find this fascinating discussion.
