The Whole Gospel: Why Good News Needs the Bad News

When you hear the word gospel, what comes to mind — music? A churchy phrase? Or the life-changing announcement of God’s rescue plan? In this episode of the Disciple Standard Podcast, we unpack what the whole gospel really is, why it matters for every sermon, and how it transforms lives and churches. From personal stories to Puritan wisdom, we explore sin, salvation, and service in a way that’s clear, practical, and freeing.

We’ve Been Reading the Psalms Wrong

Have modern Christians lost something in the way we read the Psalms? This week on The Disciple Standard Podcast, Scott takes us deep into his research on how the early church understood the Psalms—and why writers like Athanasius and Origen saw Jesus throughout the entire Psalter. The conversation explores Psalm 78, the parables of Jesus, prayer, worship, and the surprising idea that the Psalms don't simply tell us about Jesus—they may actually teach us to pray with Jesus.
