As we start our Theology Thursdays series, we wanted to share with you some of our favorite podcasts on theology. 

Please note, all of these podcasts are meant to be secondary resources to get you thinking critically about what you believe and why. Listen to them with an open mind as you may notice some of them differ or even contradict each other on certain issues. You may not even agree with every single one, and that is okay. 

Although all of these podcasts are rooted in Scripture, please go to the Bible first and foremost to learn more about God’s character and to find answers to your life and religion questions.

The point of utilizing resources like this is not to find the one true way, because there is only one way and that is Jesus Christ, and the only place you should go to find Him is in His Word, the Bible. Especially if you’re a new Christian, wait to go to podcasts until after you’ve read the Bible for yourself - preferably in full. Listen to God’s voice before you listen to anyone else’s. 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6

So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite theology-based podcasts:

1. Ask Pastor John

These episodes are short but Pastor John Piper tackles some of the hardest and most controversial theological topics. Those questions you maybe didn’t even know you had or were too scared to ask? They’re probably answered here. Here are some theology basics to get you started:

• Ep. 38: What Did the Reformation Give Us? 

• Ep 43: Are God’s Providence and God’s Sovereignty the Same?

• Ep. 112: What Does Jesus Mean by ‘I Never Knew You’? 

Pastor John also has several other podcasts through his ministry, Desiring God, including one on theology and one featuring a sermon of the day. If you want to go deep in the word, then these podcasts are for you. 

2. Theology Gals

This podcast is by women on reformed theology. Here are a few relevant episodes: 

• Women: Work & Callings

• Church History with Dr. Dan Van Voorhis

• The Importance of Understanding Law and the Gospel

3. She Proves Faithful

This is another podcast on common issues women face today. Each episode is saturated in Scripture, which makes it a great resource to go deeper on theological issues relating to women.  

• This series on Women & Work is so good. 

• Uncovering Deceit & God’s Names (Are Women Oppressed by Biblical Principles?)

• The Theology of Feeling Good - Moralistic Therapeutic Deism & Jesus Christ the Righteous

4. The Journeywomen podcast.

This is probably the podcast I’ve listened to the most episodes of. Hunter’s selection of topics and guests is the best I’ve found thus far on any podcast - each episode is rooted in Scripture and you always walk away wanting to become the kind of Godly woman you just heard speak. Start with their latest series on the fruits of the spirit - a must listen! They also did a church series that was so good! 

5. Phylicia Masonheimer

First off, follow her on Instagram. Phylicia does a lot of IG stories on theological issues, especially around the topics Christian women are talking about right now. I love how she shares perspectives from various theologians and always points people to the Word, not to any particular denomination or school of thought. She is about to launch a new podcast, but in the meantime, here are some episodes from her archives: 

• Are Our Christian “Quiet Times” Actually Biblical?

• Our Offensive Gospel

6. Daily Grace Podcast

This podcast is all about studying the Word. Start with this episode on why you need theology and this episode on why we need the whole Bible. 

7.Real Christianity

Dale and Veronica Partridge are a much-needed voice of Scriptural Truth in a world of Christian influencers who mostly teach false doctrine nowadays. In their podcast and accompanying YouTube videos, Dale and Veronica answer some tough questions facing Christians today including:

• Ep. 60: Why All Christians Should Delight in Doctrine and Theology

• Ep. 56: Is Christian Sabbath Saturday or Sunday?

• Ep. 51: Why Tithing Is Biblical but it’s not Christian
