A Chance to Revisit the Harry Potter Question
Is fantasy literature (and movies) dangerous to Christian faith? Practically speaking, is it okay to watch/read Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, or Lord of the Rings? What about the television show Lucifer? Is magic always bad? Is the magic seen in pop culture the same as the sorcery described in the Bible?

Faith Debate: July 13th, 2025
The Spiritual Realm Interacting with the Mundane Realm
Gnosticism has negatively influenced people in the Christian church into thinking that salvation comes by knowing the right answers to the right questions. Is it necessary for a person to “give a credible profession of faith” in order to be saved? How does God “moving in the spiritual” fit into this understanding? Can Baptists, Presbyterians, Charismatics, and others find agreement?

An Original Composition is the New Theme Music
The Faith Debate debuts its brand new theme music, an original composition by Daniel Razvi.

Faith Debate: June 29th, 2025
The Antioch Declaration
The Faith Debate dedicates one show to The Antioch Declaration and the context surrounding it’s release. Some big names within evangelicalism collaborated to publish it, including: Doug Wilson, Joe Boot, James White, Jeff Durbin, and Tobias Riemenschneider – among others.
It was met with a mixed reaction, but the issues of hyper-patriarchy, Jew-hatred, and white-supremacy are a blight (particularly among younger men in America and Europe), and it needs to be addressed. Perhaps the Declaration was a clumsy attempt, but their heart for defending the gospel was certainly in the right place.
This is the third of three sequential radio shows recorded during one studio session. All three editions are available as one long video on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ.
The panel:
Troy Skinner. Pastor, Household of Faith in Christ

Was Ancient Israel Unique in History?

Faith Debate: June 1st, 2025
Do All “Abrahamic” Faiths Worship the Same God?
The Faith Debate is dialoging about Israel, then and now. Do faith traditions that reject Christ Jesus also, by default, reject YHWH? How about asking the same question in reverse? Are there millions claiming to worship the one true God who are, in fact, in rebellion against Him by worshiping idols of their own imagination (much like the golden calf or Ba’al)?

Do Talmudic Jews Worship the Same God Worshiped by Christians?
The Faith Debate continues a multi-part dialog about Israel, then and now. This time the focus is on the question of worship by Talmudic and/or Rabbinic Jews (and Muslims/Jehovah’s Witnesses/etc., for that mater), compared with the worship of Christians.

Did the Holy Spirit Indwell Old Testament Believers?
The Faith Debate begins a multi-part dialog about Israel, then and now. Up first on the docket is the question, “Did the Holy Spirit dwell with God’s people in the Old Covenant the same way He does in the New Covenant?”

Is It Wrong to Be Uncircumcised?
The Faith Debate wraps up its forthright and yet gentlemanly dialog about circumcision with the panelists sharing whether or not they understand God to instruct the continuance of the practice or has consigned the issue to the category of what theologians like to call “adiaphora”. It boils down to answering the question, “Must (or should) circumcision still be practiced as a means of gaining some form of spiritual benefit?”
This is the fifth of five sequential radio shows recorded during one studio session. All five editions are available as one long video on the Rumble channel for Household of Faith in Christ.

Podcast
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.
