Didaché - Rick Warren Biffs It On The Crucifixion

Rick Warren’s recent post on X shockingly misrepresents the crucifixion of Jesus. Claiming that Jesus was "in the middle" to suggest He was neither right nor left politically is a blatant mishandling of Scripture. In this episode of Didaché, Justin Peters unpacks Warren’s theological inconsistency, his history of compromising on doctrine, and why his misuse of John 19:18 is dangerous.

From shifting theological positions to failing to present the true Gospel when given a platform, Warren has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of biblical fidelity. This episode explains why exegesis—not eisegesis—is essential when handling God’s Word.

About the Podcast

Didaché
Didaché is dedicated to deepening our love for God through deepening our knowledge of God.
Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).

This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will dedicate some time to answering your questions that you send in. This podcast will not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the others, but what it lacks in sound effects we trust will be made up in content.

Justin Peters is a full-time itinerant preacher dedicated to expository preaching and biblically engaging many of the prevalent false doctrines that seek to "deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting" (Romans 16:17). He has earned both a Master of Divinity (2000) and Master of Theology (2002) from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has preached in churches and conferences in 43 states and 27 countries.
