Kingdoms Rise, God Reigns: The Book Daniel w/ Iain Duguid (Pt. 1)
In this episode of the Westminster Podcast, Nate Shannon and Ian Duguid unpack the Book of Daniel, moving beyond familiar stories to uncover its deeper theological and pastoral message. Together, they explore how Daniel’s structure, apocalyptic imagery, and historical context equip God’s people to endure suffering with confidence in His sovereign rule over every kingdom. Far from abstract prophecy, Daniel presses a decisive question: will we trust the passing power of earthly kingdoms, or the everlasting kingdom God alone establishes?

Biblical Counseling in Latin America w/ Claudia Barerro
This episode of the Westminster Podcast features Claudia Barrero in conversation with Nate Shannon, exploring her journey from a Roman Catholic background and aspirations in medicine to a calling in psychology shaped by a growing evangelical faith. Barrero reflects on the tension between secular therapeutic frameworks and a biblical understanding of human nature, and how the Lord used her experiences in Colombia and Peru to lead her toward a Reformed perspective on counseling as a form of discipleship and gospel witness. The conversation highlights the challenges of practicing biblical counseling in a Latin American context where it is largely unknown, often misunderstood, and must be carefully contextualized amid cultural distrust, hierarchical church structures, and the influence of both secular psychology and prosperity-driven religious movements. Ultimately, Barrero presents counseling as a means of helping both believers and non-believers reckon honestly with God, suffering, and the need for a Savior, while also calling attention to the broader needs of the church in Colombia for deeper theological formation, active membership, and a more comprehensive grasp of Scripture’s authority in all of life.

The Council of Nicea & The Church Today w/ Randy Caldejo and Blake Franze
This episode of the Westminster Podcast features Blake Franze and Randy Caldejo in conversation with Nate Shannon, reflecting on their experience at the 1700th anniversary conference of the Council of Nicaea in Istanbul. The discussion explores the enduring theological significance of the Nicene Creed as both a historical response to heresy and a continuing model for faithful doctrinal clarity grounded in Scripture. Drawing from the global and ecumenical nature of the conference, the conversation highlights the unity and diversity of the worldwide church, the urgent need for theological education amid rapid church growth, and the importance of recovering a robust, Scripture-shaped theological method. The episode also reflects on how ancient confessional truths continue to inform modern challenges, from ministry in closed countries to emerging issues like artificial intelligence, calling the church to ongoing reformation and faithfulness in every age.

The Scottish Tempest — Episode 4: Blood and Fire
Driven from England as the fires of Marian persecution begin to consume the very church he helped build, John Knox watches from exile as his friends burn, his flock scatters, and his life’s work is undone. What begins as grief hardens into fury, as Knox wrestles not only with the suffering of his people but with his own absence from their trials, forced into a retreat that feels like betrayal. But the terror engulfing England was not born overnight. Behind the flames lies a dynastic crisis decades in the making—Henry VIII’s obsession with legacy, a marriage unraveling under political and theological strain, and a young princess shaped from birth to be a pawn in the ruthless game of European power. As Queen Mary ascends the throne, the personal becomes apocalyptic: a kingdom convulses, a church is purged by fire, and Knox is left to ask not only how it happened, but what must now be done. Warning: This episode contains some graphic depictions of Martyrdom so listener discretion is advised. If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at wm.wts.edu.

Prayer, Gratitude, and the Christian Life w/ Dr. Greg Parker Jr.
Recorded live at the Kuyper Conference in Grand Rapids, this episode features a conversation with Greg Parker Jr., a theologian and scholar of Herman Bavinck, reflecting on his academic journey, current work in theological education, and research in neo-Calvinism. Parker discusses his engagement with Abraham Kuyper’s pastoral theology, particularly his exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism and the Lord’s Prayer, highlighting themes of ascent and descent as a framework for understanding prayer, the Christian life, and communion with God. The conversation also explores the importance of translating and retrieving Bavinck’s works for the church, the pastoral dimension of systematic theology, and the need for careful theological engagement with contemporary questions such as human identity, bioethics, and artificial intelligence.

Confessional Theology and the Neo-Calvinist Vision w/ Dr. Gray Sutanto
Recorded live at the Kuyper Conference at Calvin University, this episode features a conversation with Dr. Gray Sutanto, alumnus of Westminster Theological Seminary and professor of systematic theology at RTS Washington, D.C. Sutanto reflects on his academic work in neo-Calvinism, particularly his efforts to retrieve and clarify the theological legacy of figures like Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck. He highlights the coherence between neo-Calvinism and confessional Reformed theology, emphasizing that neo-Calvinism is not reducible to cultural transformationalism or theonomy, but rather represents a historically rooted, theologically rich movement seeking to articulate Christianity as a comprehensive worldview in the modern age. The discussion also explores the nature of theological retrieval, arguing for a model that is both historically grounded and constructively forward-looking. Sutanto outlines how neo-Calvinism exemplifies this balance by drawing deeply from the Reformed tradition while addressing the intellectual and social challenges of modernity—particularly in its articulation of common grace, sphere sovereignty, and the relationship between church and state. The episode concludes with reflections on the reception of neo-Calvinism in English-speaking contexts, the importance of recovering Bavinck’s broader corpus, and the ongoing task of cultivating a robust, confessionally rooted theology that speaks meaningfully to contemporary cultural and ecclesial life.
