Sean McDowellWhy I am Protestant (and You Should be Too)
November 25, 2025 ● 49 minShare this episode
What does it really mean to be Protestant? Is it simply “not Catholic,” or does it stand for a positive, historic, and biblically-rooted vision of Christianity? Today, I'm speaking with my Biola University colleague Dr. Fred Sanders. We discuss the meaning, history, and theological distinctives of Protestantism. Sanders explains why the term “Protestant” is often misunderstood, how the Reformation connects to the entire Christian tradition, and what Protestants believe about Scripture, grace, justification and good works.

A Prayer to Receive the Father’s Discipline - Your Daily Prayer - May 16
Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.
