• Current Threats to the Church: An Interview with Phil Johnson

  In this episode of The Tube Podcast, Tom Drion and Phil Johnson discuss two major concerns: the gospel and ministry philosophy. They explore how the gospel is being sidelined in favour of entertainment-based ministry, which often avoids biblical truths and uncomfortable topics. The podcast also touches on the historical and theological impacts of Socinianism, a belief system that emphasises moral principles over the supernatural elements of scripture. Phil highlights how this has influenced various leftward drifts in the church, including Unitarianism, deism, modernism, and postmodernism. They also discuss the need for church reformation, focusing on the purity and accuracy of the gospel message and ministry philosophy. Another critical topic is the impact of feminist philosophy and gender ideology on current gender confusion. Phil questions the extent to which this confusion is driven by ideological and sexual perversion, arguing that modern feminism, rooted in paganism, is demeaning to women and has led to the erosion of traditional gender roles. As evangelicalism faces a crisis of compromising biblical truth to appeal to the world, Tom and Phil discuss the importance of equipping believers with biblical truth to stand firm against cultural indoctrination and postmodern ideology.
