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).
