You believe in the Bible, but can you defend the canon of Scripture? You know that God's Law should be binding on men, but which laws are still applicable? You trust that God is sovereign, but how do you work through such thorny concepts as the will of man and election? You want to tell the world about Christ, but do you lack the biblical confidence on how to defend your faith against cynics? These and other foundational issues are the subject of our Theological Bootcamp, volumes I and II. Recorded in a local church in San Antonio, Texas, this series includes the clear and helpful teachings of Dr. Ken Gentry, Dr. Michael Butler, Jeff Pollard, and Doug Phillips. Whether you are a father seeking to disciple his family, a church shepherd wanting to provide excellent material for Bible studies, or a Christian student hoping to be rooted in the foundational doctrines of the Faith, Theological Bootcamp I and II will help you to fulfill the biblical mandate to "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15).

Did you know that the Bible has more to say about grandfathers than even fathers? But when was the last time you heard any teaching on the biblical role of grandfathers? If the answer is "never," then you may be another statistic in a culture that has forsaken biblical family life. The truth is this: rather than retiring from responsibility, "spending their children's inheritance," or being relegated to live their final days in solitude, the Bible pictures a world in which the greatest spiritual contributions in a man's life come when he achieves the status of grandfather. Doug Phillips addresses with boldness and beauty the phenomenal vision of biblical grandfathering. Whether you are a grandfather, know one, or will someday be one, this recording is important for your listening library

The Role of Grandfathers in the Local Church

Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America

This message was recorded at the 2004 Uniting Church and Family Conference by author Jeff Pollard who built upon the foundation laid in his groundbreaking book, Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America. Jeff offers fathers and daughters a biblical and practical approach to the common questions of modesty.

This message examines biblical definitions of aesthetics, holiness, and antithesis as each concept pertains to film. Also examined is Hollywood's vision for aesthetic. Speaker Geoff Botkin relates the little-known history of the Left's deliberate effort (beginning in 1923) to "impoverish the aesthetics" of Hollywood and to thereby seize "cultural hegemony." He explains the corrupt soul of an industry that went from Shirley Temple to Madonna in less than two generations, and how the Christian patriarch became an object of deliberate contempt.

The Weapons of Our Warfare: Beauty

R.C. Sproul Jr.

One of the major reasons the modern church has become destructive to the family is that she first quit preaching the Word of God and applying it accurately to every area of life. If preachers would stick to the text of Scripture, a biblical trans-generational worldview would be more apparent. It would be more obvious for parents and church leaders to know how to build strong families. In the same way, a healthy, vibrant, group of families pursing the ways of the Lord will help create a vibrant, living, joyful church, which in turn will provide a testimony to our communities of the life of Christ. Join Jeff Pollard as he takes an in-depth look at the inter-relation of the church and family.

Why the Church Needs the Family and the Family Needs the Church

The Bible speaks to every area of life. But, do we want to apply Gods Word to our lives in practical ways? What is the difference between holiness and legalism, when it comes to sensitive topics like dress, modesty, relationshiops, family life, church life, etc.? In this inspirational message, Jeff Pollard sensitively addresses the sacred cows or untouchable subjects that Christians often avoid discussing, but that play a critical role in the health of the family and the local church. His perspective is thoughtful and balanced, sparking the listener to think through the issues from a biblical perspective and to seek God for wisdom for your own family.

Holiness, Legalism, and the Sufficiency of Scripture

In this message, Doug Phillips offers you some practical insights and helpful wisdom, on an experiential level, about things he has observed and seen over the last two years with family friendly churches as they have been developing around the country.
