Has the modern pulpit traded its spiritual fortress for a performance stage? In this episode, Nick Reddin explores the meticulous and fiery world of the Puritan divines. We’re drawing a line between the “Tinseled Trappings” of today’s casual church and the "Plain Style" of the 17th century, a method designed not just to inform the mind, but to put God’s truth into the very soul. It’s time to move past the summarical and the shallow. Join us as we conduct a theological audit of the modern pulpit through the lens of the men who viewed preaching as a matter of life and death.

It’s a perspective that challenges every light, every chord, and every lyric we take for granted. Is your Sunday morning a "Gospel Ordinance" or a human invention?

To the Puritans, the spirit world was no myth; it was a high-stakes battlefield where the air itself was thick with the presence of unseen powers. In this episode of The Puritan Pulpit, Nick Reddin explores the "Invisible Combat," a world where the Devil operates as a "chained dog" restricted by divine sovereignty. We dive into the crucial distinction between demonic possession and the "obsession" of the believer, exploring how the enemy lays siege to the mind through trials and black moods. Discover why the Puritans rejected the "theatre" of formal exorcism in favor of the "volleys of prayer" and the "silver trumpets of the Gospel" to reclaim the human soul from the master strategist of darkness.

Forget the "witch-hunter" caricatures. For the Puritans, the real danger wasn't just spirits, it was superstition, a "will-worship" that traded biblical truth for human fear. This episode of The Puritan Pulpit explores how these rigorous thinkers used the Doctrine of Providence to stabilize a supernatural world. Join Nick Reddin as he dives into William Perkins’ war on "white magic" and the moment Increase Mather’s biblical logic finally silenced the gallows at Salem. Stop looking at the myths and start looking at the Word.

To the modern mind, Puritan church discipline sounds harsh. To the Puritan mind, a church without discipline wasn't a church at all, it was a garden without a hedge, soon to be reclaimed by the wilderness. On the latest episode of The Puritan Pulpit, Nick Reddin explores why they believed that without the "hedge" of discipline, the sacraments would be profaned and the name of God blasphemed. Listen now to understand the "Power of the Keys."
