    In this episode, Jonathan and Jacob explore The Knowledge Gap—a subtle but dangerous pitfall where the pursuit of biblical knowledge becomes disconnected from the person of Christ.

    Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1, John 5, and 2 Timothy, we examine how Scripture warns against using God’s Word as an intellectual trophy rather than a path to intimacy with Him. From Pharisees who searched the Scriptures but missed the Messiah, to modern believers accumulating teachers that affirm their desires, we confront the reality that not all knowledge is godly wisdom.

    🔹 Topics covered:

    • God's wisdom vs. man’s intellect (1 Corinthians 1:18–31)
    • Scripture without Jesus leads to spiritual blindness (John 5:39–40)
    • The rise of "itching ears" and self-serving teachers (2 Timothy 4:3–5)
    • Knowledge that puffs up instead of builds up (1 Corinthians 8:1–3)
    • The end-times epidemic of “always learning, never knowing” (2 Timothy 3:1–9)
    • The deceptive legacy of Jannes and Jambres—spiritual power without truth

    Ultimately, this episode is a call back to the person of Jesus—not just facts about Him. True wisdom isn’t about mastering doctrine, but being mastered by Christ.

    Don’t just study the Word—come to the One it reveals.

  • Sovereignty vs. Free Will — Who Really Chooses?

    In this kickoff episode of Among the Flock, Jonathan and Jacob wrestle with one of the most foundational—and divisive—questions in Christian theology:

    Is salvation God’s sovereign choice, or do we truly have freedom to respond?

    Together, they walk through the core beliefs, strengths, and challenges of three major views:

    • Calvinism – God unconditionally elects whom He wills
    • Arminianism – Every person has the freedom to choose or reject God
    • Molinism – God orchestrates history through His knowledge of all possible choices

    From Scripture to church history, from real-life stories to deep theological questions, this episode explores the implications of divine sovereignty, human freedom, and what it means to say God is love.

    Whether you’re firm in your view or still searching, this episode invites you to reflect deeply—and humbly—on the nature of God and the mystery of salvation.
