Has the Culture War Replaced the Gospel? Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford
Should the church just preach the gospel and ignore the culture war? How can the church create its own culture in a post-Christian society? Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford join Michael Horton to discuss their latest book, The Culture of God's Word. Senkbeil and Woodford argue that the word of God doesn't need to be made relevant; rather, it is inherently powerful, creative, and culture-forming on its own terms. THE CULTURE OF GOD'S WORD - https://solamedia.org/offers/cultureofgodsword/?sc=AP2602V In a tumultuous age, Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford argue that the way forward for the church is not in retreat, relevance, or culture wars, but faithful proclamation of the word of God.

Why the Modern World Is at War with Human Nature
Carl Trueman and Michael Horton have both written books tracing the intellectual genealogy of our modern confusion. In this discussion, they trace the long arc from the Renaissance to today: how the rejection of God didn't just change our theology but degraded our very sense of what a person is, how "spiritual but not religious" isn't a recent invention but the inevitable endpoint of centuries of ideas. THE DESECRATION OF MAN - https://amzn.to/3Ocx1Lt Carl Trueman argues that modern man's crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact—that he was made in the image of God.

Spiritual Formation and the Reformation: Comer, Willard, Calvin
Is spiritual formation that moves beyond the practices of the Reformation what we need to help with our disillusionment with evangelicalism? Michael Horton discusses the contemporary spiritual formation movement most notably associated with John Mark Comer and heavily influenced by the late Dallas Willard, and compares its emphases to the hallmarks of Reformation piety.

Penance, Purgatory, and the Assurance of Salvation
Gavin Ortlund, Jordan Cooper, and Michael Horton discuss how Catholic and Reformation practices shape the Christian life. How do our views of penance, repentance, justification, purgatory, and assurance of salvation impact how we live our lives? Do they drive us to look to Christ and the promises of God, or do they cause us to look inward? DEFENDING THE REFORMATION is a 6 part series bringing together Gavin Ortlund, Jordan Cooper, and Michael Horton to address some of the most prominent criticisms of the Reformation and key Protestant doctrines. Were the Reformers true reformers or radical revolutionaries? Does Sola Scriptura undermine church tradition? Is Sola Fide merely a product of nominalism? Together, these Protestant theologians examine the historical context, theological depth, and biblical fidelity of the Reformation.

Ben Sasse on Life, Cancer, and the Gospel
Before entering public office, Ben Sasse served as executive director of White Horse Inn and Modern Reformation at Sola Media. On February 7, 2026, he joined longtime friends Michael Horton and Dan Bryant to discuss his cancer diagnosis, the early days of Sola Media, and the hope of the gospel. As director of programs at Sola Media from 1998 to 2000, Ben Sasse helped articulate our vision for a modern reformation. "[We want to teach] individuals about historic Protestant theology," Sasse wrote, "creating a community of Protestants who take their particular church bodies and confessions very seriously, and (not "but") take their pan-Protestant, evangelical identity seriously as well." Ben's work in Sola's early years was invaluable in advancing our mission to serve the church with resources for reformation. We are profoundly grateful for his work, his friendship, and the legacy he has helped build. 0:00 An update on Ben Sasse's cancer diagnoses and treatment 6:55 Ben Sasse's history with Sola Media and friendship with Mike Horton 11:50 What is the gospel? 17:04 How Ben's theological knowledge shaped his time as a US Senator 20:35 How theology helps us face death and suffering 26:28 How can I reorder the priorities of of my life? 32:04 1 Corinthians 15, the resurrection, and the reason we have to die 35:17 "AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED" 40:44 Gallows humor 45:21 Heidelberg Catechism Q&A PARTNER WITH US - https://solamedia.org/partner/?sc=AS2502V When you become a partner today, you'll receive two remarkable books as our thanks: Rediscovering the Holy Spirit by Dr. Michael Horton and Praying with Jesus by Pastor Adriel Sanchez.
