Doug Van Dorn-The Obedience of Faith and the War for the Nations
Ready to publish The gospel is bigger than personal assurance, bigger than moral reform, and bigger than the way most Christians think salvation works. Jon Moffat and Doug Van Dorn trace how Scripture connects Babel, Pentecost, Abraham, Psalm 82, and the Great Commission to show why the gospel is the power of God for the nations.This conversation takes a hard look at law-gospel confusion and why it so often leaves both nominal Christians and true believers stuck in doubt. Jon explains how salvation includes the whole person and the whole world, while Doug unpacks how Paul’s language in Romans frames the gospel as the power that brings people out of darkness and into the obedience of faith.You'll discover: • Why Romans 1:5 is about apostolic mission to the nations, not a proof text for salvation by works • How Galatians 3 exposes the clash between Spirit, faith, flesh, and law • The connection between Babel and Pentecost that changes how you read Acts 2 • How Deuteronomy 32 and Psalm 82 frame the nations, spiritual powers, and Christ’s inheritance • Why Jesus’ death, resurrection, and authority in Matthew 28 are cosmic, not merely individualJon and Doug also show why Abraham’s story matters more than modern moralism allows, and why the church loses something vital when it treats the law as the engine of transformation. The result is a clearer, more powerful picture of what the gospel actually does - it saves, sanctifies, and restores.If you’ve ever wondered why assurance feels fragile, why the supernatural keeps getting pushed out of Christianity, or how the Bible’s big story fits together, this episode will challenge and reframe the whole discussion. Essential listening for anyone who wants the gospel to be more than advice.

Doug Van Dorn- They Knew:The Church Never Lost the Angel
Who stood in the bush? Who wrestled Jacob? Who bears the Name and still gets sent by Yahweh? Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn walk the biblical theology of The Angel of the LORD—the Word, the Name, the Glory, the Face—and why this figure is the pre-incarnate Son, not a created messenger. If he isn’t Christ, you’re left with two gods.Part 1 walks the biblical theology of The Angel of the LORD—the Word, the Name, the Glory, the Face—and why Jesus did not first appear in Matthew.Part 2 takes us on a history of interpretation and why it matters that the Angel of the Lord is Christ in the OT.

Doug Van Dorn- The Oath Before the Garden
Covenant theology is not a Presbyterian password and it is not a way to dissolve Israel into allegory. It is the Bible’s own architecture: an oath in eternity, a creation-order that bound man, the world, and the host of heaven, six typological covenants that climb toward Christ, and one New Covenant that actually saves. Doug walks through his Covenant Theology: A Reformed Baptist Primer book—Covenant of Redemption, Covenant of Creation (including angels), the almost-forgotten Covenant of Levi, and why the children of the New Covenant are believers, not infants by birth. The fringe is in the text. The Reformed part is the oath that holds it together.https://www.amazon.com/Covenant-Theology-Reformed-Baptist-Primer/dp/0986237604/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=AUTHOR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KgjD34LRrIsFK-oKFWX5CEoeD_tkfiJQjD0vX-KKc8zim9vPQHPZzC3TcWaMCe_u-L8ctc5HFdDjBefN-s6R3KgWH2yGSOlWEo_aEny4Sr45WtqVZuvme1jCaWOMjPe8gwXZrg9gjObg_QKCXBBR5gvWfWX0BPyZd3SUPv2mLDzvN60W3JUfK6K2aVG40blHYZuqGOvaddPSZvSUH73EOeS7wDoZEFWSAkE5SqyRAnI.RGugPh0DcBXKV-kjPQBlCvlLcD2jMkuSDU9yKQMNvcQ https://www.rbcnc.com/ www.reformedfringe.com

Doug Van Dorn and Jon Moffit- The Devil In the Church
Gossip doesn’t sound all that bad. Slander does. How about lying, deceit, backbiting, insulting, reviling. Then there is strife, discord, jealousy, envy, rivalries, factions, and the like. All are caused by the tongue, a fire that no one can tame. That’s all bad enough, but do you realize just how connected all of this is to Satan, the Devil, and demonic supernatural evil? That’s what we’ll talk about on this program.

Doug Van Dorn- Gog and Amalek
In this episode we are talking about one of the stranger and enigmatic prophecies in the Bible: the infamous Gog ang Magog. The ties here are deeply supernatural, tied to the angelic princes of the nations and especially to the giant tribes and the nephilim storyline of the OT. One badly misunderstood tribe is at the root of this: the Amalekites. You won’t want to miss this.

Doug Van Dorn- Supernatural Nephilim?
Were the Nephilim supernatural beings... or simply the result of godly men marrying ungodly women?In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn respond to Dr. Jordan Cooper's five arguments against the supernatural view of Genesis 6. Rather than attacking personalities, they carefully examine the biblical text, church history, and the arguments themselves to ask one question:What does Scripture actually say?The discussion covers:• The meaning of "sons of God" and "daughters of men" in Genesis 6• Why the Nephilim matter to the overall story of redemption• The connection between Genesis, Jude, 2 Peter, and the New Testament• The role of giants throughout the Old Testament• Why the early church overwhelmingly held the supernatural view• How later interpretations changed and why that matters todayWhether you agree or disagree, our goal is to model careful exegesis, charitable interaction, and confidence in God's Word.Resources Mentioned:📖 The Giants by Doug Van Dorn📖 The Battle for the Bible's Truth by Doug Van DornIf this conversation helped you better understand the Bible, consider subscribing and sharing this episode with someone interested in Genesis, biblical theology, and the supernatural worldview of Scripture.#Genesis6 #Nephilim #BibleStudy #Theocast #DougVanDorn #JonMoffitt #ReformedTheology #DivineCouncil #BiblicalTheology #ChristianPodcast

Doug Van Dorn- The Days of Noah
The Days of Noah Conference took place on June 22, 2026 up in Estes Park at my friend Adam’s Rocky Mountain Church. It was just this hour and a half session where we gave an intro on the divine council, giants, and how both are important for a 3-D, full color Christ-centered view of the Scripture. If you’re new to this stuff, this is the one for you. If you’re not, you will still get a lot out of it.
