The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
The Biblical Roots Ministries is all about helping believers stay grounded in the truth of Scripture. Founded by Professor R. L. Solberg, our Christ-centered ministry is dedicated to creating faithful, Bible-based content that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and equips you to discern false teachings. We do this in two ways:
1. Dismantling false teachings – We take a systematic approach to breaking down ideas that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), clearing away myths and misconceptions so believers can stand firm in the truth.
2. Building biblical literacy – Through Bible studies and teachings on biblical theology, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Bible history, we help believers dive deeper into Scripture and better understand it in its proper context.

Christmas Special: Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?
Is it wrong for Christians to celebrate Christmas? You might be thinking, “Why would it be?” Well, there are two schools of thought on why Christmas shouldn't be celebrated. The first says it's wrong to celebrate Christmas because it's a man-made holiday not found in the Bible. And the second says it's wrong because Christmas is a pagan holiday. Or at least it has pagan roots.
These anti-Christmas beliefs are held by many groups including Seventh-Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses and by those who practice Torahism (aka Hebrew Roots, Torah-keepers, Torah-observant Christians) which is the belief that Christians are required to keep the Old Covenant laws. None of these groups celebrate Christmas. So let's openly and honestly examine both of these objections to Christmas and see what they're all about.
