Faith Debate: November 2nd, 2025
Discipleship Through Family Worship
What is the biblical support for the idea of “family worship”? What are the challenges to maintaining dedicated time for family devotionals, and how are these obstacles overcome? This is the first episode of a short two-show series on this topic. Find the video version on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ.

Chatting About the Host of Late Nite in the Heartland
The author of “Apostle Paul Antichrist”, “Final Message of the Last Apostle”, “Mandela Effect, the Prophet Daniel, and Antichrist”, and “Serpents & Doves In the Garden of the Gods” has some nasty and nutty things to say about Christianity. Jeffrey Daugherty challenged Troy Skinner to a debate, but it never happened. That’s too bad because there are many proofs supporting the Bible’s teaching (and plenty of misunderstandings and manipulations that are easily seen from Mr. Daugherty when language is properly used and understood). The Faith Debate shares some of these details.
This is the third show dedicated to this topic (with possibly one more to come). This first one was broadcast on September 14th, 2025 – the second one was broadcast on October 19th. Past editions of the program (and info about upcoming episodes) are available on WFMD.com, and even more fully at HouseholdofFaithinChrist.com.

Create Yourself? UnIndoctrinate? Say What?
Having wrapped up a month of digesting the Regulative/Normative Principles (& what it means for preaching, praying, Scripture reading, singing, dancing, icons, ordinances, modern tech, etc.), The Faith Debate returns to offering warnings against the strange claims of gadfly Jeffery Daugherty. He’s an author, a podcaster, a professing former pastor, and he challenged Troy Skinner to a public debate (before then apparently changing his mind). His misrepresentations of Christianity are dangerously flawed, and so the show offers a few correctives to help you.
This is the second show dedicated to this topic (with probably a couple more still to come). This first one was broadcast on September 14th, 2025. Past editions of the program (and info about upcoming episodes) are available on WFMD.com and even more fully at HouseholdofFaithinChrist.com.

The Circumstances of Worship
The Faith Debate is exploring the Regulative & Normative Principles. Is lawful worship only that which God has Himself established, as it says in Chapter 21 of the Westminster Confession? Humans are finite and sinful, so don’t we need Scripture (and ordained godly leaders) to guide worship as the Lord sovereignly superintends – so as to eliminate idolatry while still protecting liberty of conscience against abuse from certain liturgical orders?
This is the fourth of four sequential radio shows recorded during one studio session. All four editions are available as one long video on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ. Episodes of The Faith Debate are available as podcasts on multiple platforms, including SermonAudio, Odysee, and Christian Podcast Community.

The Forms of Worship: What’s Good and What’s Bad?
The Faith Debate continues to talk about the Regulative Principle and the Normative Principle. Some Bible passages to consider include John 4 (Jesus and the Samaritan woman), Exodus 32 (the golden calf)m Leviticus 10 (strange fire from Nabad and Abihu), Deuteronomy 4 & 12 (warnings not to add or take away from God’s commands), and 1 Samuel 15 (the rejection of Saul’s unprescribed worship).
This is the third of four sequential radio shows recorded during one studio session. All four editions are available as one long video on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ.

Elements of Worship: Must Do’s and Don’ts
The Faith Debate discusses the Regulative Principle and the Normative Principle. Does God disapprove of all modes of worship which are not expressly sanctioned in His Word? Can some human traditions (Colossians 2) fit within the pattern shown us (Exodus 25)? Keep in mind, Jesus says the Pharisaical worship is futile because it’s the doctrine of man (Matthew 15).

The Christian Whistleblower
Jeffrey Daugherty says he’s a former minister and bible college graduate who critiques mainstream religious beliefs and promotes alternative spiritual perspectives. He hosts a podcast where he discusses various topics related to religion, spirituality, and culture. And he publicly challenged Troy Skinner to a debate (before disappearing as quickly as he appeared). The Faith Debate talks about what happened.
This is a stand alone edition of the radio show. Unlike many other weekly episodes, there is no video for this one. Episodes of The Faith Debate are available as podcasts on multiple platforms, including SermonAudio, Odysee, and Christian Podcast Community.

The Importance of Song Lyrics
Is heresy packed into some of the church songs we sing? Also, where does the idea of intellectual property fit within a church context? Is it proper to have copyright restrictions placed on church music?

Sundays 9AM to 9:30AM
The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth. Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”. In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another. The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.
In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most. We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding. And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty. So, that’s what you get here. A safe haven for honesty. We share what we hold to be true and why. Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out. Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings. At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
