In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we’re moving from doctrinal depth to cultural discernment—anchored in Hebrews 6, shaped by church history, and examined in light of everyday life.
We begin with The First Pour, exploring Hebrews 6:9–12, where the writer reassures believers of “better things”—things that accompany true salvation. In a style that draws from story, Scripture, and sound doctrine, we reflect on how Christian maturity is shaped by example, endurance, and a generational passing of the torch.
In The House Brew, we travel back to 1599 and meet John Davenant, a theologian whose moderate Reformed voice helped shape unity at the Synod of Dort. His work reminds us that New Covenant theology has always sought to hold Christ’s atonement high while inviting all to trust in His sufficient grace.
We close with One Last Cup, where we evaluate a viral list of “psychological truths” about human behavior—fatigue, detachment, overthinking, and hidden pain. While there’s empathy in the list, we ask: is this wisdom from God, or merely survival with better language? You’ll hear how the gospel doesn’t leave us in our pain—it lifts us from it, restores our joy, and teaches us to live whole, not just guarded.
