Be Catholic, Just Not Roman Catholic | A Reasoned Response to Brian Holdsworth
In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley examines the claim that Christians should look to the early church—and ultimately Rome—to discover what authentic Christianity ought to be.
Bosley challenges the assumption that the early church fathers provide an infallible model for Christian faith and practice, pointing out that some operated without the complete New Testament canon and that the Roman Catholic Church has accumulated doctrines and traditions that Protestants contend go beyond Scripture.
So, why be Catholic and not just Christian? Bosley argues that Christians should indeed be catholic—in the historic sense of belonging to Christ's universal church—but not Roman Catholic. Rather than looking to Rome or even the early fathers as the final authority, he makes the case for the Protestant principle of Scripture alone as the infallible standard for the church.

Is Family-Integrated Worship Biblical? — A Reasoned Response to Grant Castleberry
In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley makes the biblical case for families worshiping together in the local church and challenges the modern practice of routinely separating children from their parents during corporate worship.
Drawing from the pattern of Scripture, church history, and his own experience in a congregation filled with families and young children, Bosley argues that age-integrated worship is both biblical and entirely practical. The presence of little children may require patience and grace, but it does not prevent the church from worshiping together.
Rather than accepting age segregation as necessary, Bosley calls churches and parents to recover the historic pattern of bringing children into the gathered assembly of God's people: Bring your children to church.

Has the Fourth Commandment Been Abolished? — A Reasonable Response
In this episode of A Reasonable Response, Robert Bosley examines the claim that the fourth commandment no longer applies to Christians and argues that this conclusion cannot be sustained from Scripture.
Bosley contends that the Ten Commandments form a unified expression of God's moral law, including the enduring principle of one day in seven set apart for worship and rest. Rather than a burdensome legal requirement, the Christian Sabbath is presented as a gracious gift from God—a day to delight in worship, rest from ordinary labor, and perform works of mercy and necessity.
This episode calls believers to embrace the Lord's Day not as legalism, but as joyful obedience to God's enduring design.
