The purpose of the Vigilant Podcast is to shine the light of Scripture on theological and cultural topics. There are so many vital issues and doctrines that need more teaching than the pulpit ministry allows.
The name of the podcast, Vigilant, taps into a great theme in Scripture that Christians should be growing in wisdom, sobriety,
and alertness as they navigate this complex and seductive age (I Thessalonians 5:6; I Peter 5:8).
