Pastors Talk is a weekly conversation between Jonathan Leeman and Mark Dever about practical aspects of the Christian life and pastoral ministry.
In Pastors Talk, every week Leeman and Dever get together to talk about a different subject. This episode (#122) was on Hell. Recorded prior to the coronavirus pandemic (I’m not sure why it wasn’t released sooner or when recorded), this episode sensitively tackles this difficult subject.
The protagonists
Jonathan Leeman serves as editorial director for 9Marks (a ministry dedicated to equipping church leaders with a Biblical vision and practical resources). Leeman is an author and teaches at several seminaries while serving as an elder at Cheverly Baptist Church in suburban Washington, D.C. Mark E. Dever is the senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., and the President of 9Marks.
Leeman and Dever introduce the episode by confirming that Jesus clearly spoke about Hell. And how most evangelistic or apologetic books refrain from mentioning eternal punishment.
For leaders and every believer
This podcast primarily speaks to those in church leadership or positions of influence in their local church and beyond. However, the Biblical principles of the teaching in each episode will benefit every believer.
Pastors Talk has been active for just over four years and, as evident in this episode, does not shy away from difficult or controversial topics.
If I had to summarise this podcast in a pithy sentence, it would be that it takes important topics in life and ministry and purifies them through the sieve of Scripture.
