Know Your Theologian: Herman Bavinck (Roundtables)

On today's episode of Cultivated, Zach takes some time to examine another theologian in the "Know Your Theologian" series. This episode centers on the life and work of Dr. Herman Bavinck, a Dutch Reformed theologian who most notably was Abraham Kuyper's successor at Free University. Bavinck's classic Reformed Dogmatics just became fully translated in English only a mere 7 years ago. What did Bavinck contribute to our understanding of the Christian faith? Find that out along with key resource recommendations on today's episode.

The Little Fountain: The Man of Honor (Phil. 2:25-30)

The discipleship model of Epaphroditus is drawn out by Paul to close the second chapter of Philippians. In this passage we get to see the honorable qualities of Epaphroditus and his ministry. What does Paul mean when he calls Epaphroditus a "brother," a "worker," and a "soldier?" Zach spends some time discussing the relationships between Epaphroditus and us, and ultimately, Epaphroditus and Christ.

The Little Fountain: Discipleship (Phil. 2:19-24)

As a pastor once said, "Each Christian should have three things–A Timothy, a Paul, and a Barnabas." Who are the Timothys, Pauls, and Barnabas' in your life? As we dig into Paul's mentor relationship with Timothy near the end of Philippians 2, Charles helps us examine the characteristics of true discipleship.
