Unashamed Truth

In this special Q&A episode of the Unashamed Truth Podcast, Grant Castleberry sits down with Caleb Anderson to answer questions about theology, the Christian life, and the challenges facing the church today.
What does it mean to depend on the Holy Spirit? How can Christians discern God's will when faced with difficult decisions? What is the unforgivable sin? And how should believers respond when respected Christian leaders fall into sin?
Grant addresses these questions and more, offering biblical clarity and practical wisdom on the importance of faithfulness in ministry, the purpose of church discipline, and the growing attraction of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy among younger generations. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the centrality of the local church, the authority of Scripture, and the necessity of holding fast to the gospel of justification by faith alone.
Join us for a thoughtful conversation designed to strengthen your understanding of God's Word and encourage you to live with biblical conviction in an increasingly confused world.

Who were the Puritans, and why should Christians still read them today?
In this episode of the Unashamed Truth Podcast, Grant Castleberry sits down with Stephen Yuille, professor of church history at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and director of Puritan publishing at Reformation Heritage Books, to explore the enduring relevance of the Puritans for the Christian life.
Dr. Yuille explains who the Puritans really were, addresses common misconceptions about their history, and discusses their remarkable ability to unite sound theology with heartfelt devotion. At the center of their teaching was a conviction that Christianity is more than simply knowing the truth—it is knowing God personally, delighting in Christ, and allowing biblical truth to shape every part of life.
Dr. Yuille offers practical recommendations for those beginning to read the Puritans, including several essential works for pastors and everyday Christians.

What does it mean to believe in the present work of the Holy Spirit while affirming that the apostolic sign gifts have ceased?
In this episode of the Unashamed Truth Podcast, Grant Castleberry welcomes back Ryan Denton for a conversation on the Holy Spirit, historic Reformed cessationism, and the dangers of both charismatic excess and “hypercessationism.”
Grant and Ryan discuss the Spirit’s work in regeneration, sanctification, prayer, preaching, and the life of the church, while also considering dreams, impressions, providential promptings, and extraordinary experiences throughout church history. Drawing from Scripture and voices such as John Flavel, John Knox, Charles Spurgeon, and Martyn Lloyd-Jones, they ask how Christians can remain open to the Spirit’s work without compromising the sufficiency and final authority of Scripture.
This episode offers a thoughtful Reformed approach to experiencing the work of the Holy Spirit while remaining firmly anchored in the Word of God.
