From his studies with Dr. Steven Wellum at Southern Seminary to real-world ministry conversations, Daniel helps us compare progressive covenantalism, new covenant theology, Presbyterian Federalism and 1689 federalism—and why these distinctions matter for Baptists today.

In this episode, Jonny is joined by Oliver Allmand-Smith as they dive into a deep and thought-provoking discussion with Rich Barcellos on his journey to confessionalism, interpreting the Second London Confession, and the influence of early theological education. The conversation covers a comprehensive range of topics including the significance of scriptural ontology, teleology; how the Westminster Confession shaped his theological views; the impact of modern interpretations on biblical texts; and the critique of red-letter editions of the Bible. They also explore the context behind biblical hermeneutics, comparing rationalist and subjective interpretive methods, and how they influence our understanding of scripture. The episode also touches on the role of confessions in evangelical churches, the importance of hymnal tradition, and the apostles' role in theology. This theological dialogue dissects the intricate relationship between scripture, tradition, and modern interpretation, offering a holistic view for both congregants and ministers.
