Christ Was There: 20 Shocking Appearances in Genesis

June 16, 2025

Jon Moffitt Doug Van Dorn

Genesis pre-incarnate Christ redemptive history Old Testament Christ in Genesis theology hermeneutics

Was Jesus actually in Genesis? Most Christians believe Christ shows up in prophecy or type, but what if He was physically presentover and over again? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn explore 20 stunning appearances of the pre-incarnate Christ throughout the book of Genesis. From walking in the garden, wrestling Jacob, and dining with Abraham, to commanding Noah and calling Hagar by name, we trace the embodied Son of God moving in real time through redemptive history. Using Christs own hermeneutic (Luke 24), we challenge the idea that Jesus is absent until the Gospelsand instead show that Genesis is saturated with the presence of the Son. If you think the Old Testament is silent on Jesus, this episode will blow that assumption wide open.

Old Testament prophecy divine council pre-incarnate Christ Trinity Isaiah Jeremiah Word of the Lord Jesus in the Old Testament

Could the people of the Bible really talk with Jesus in the Old Testament? What did the prophets actually see—and who were they speaking to? Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn dive deep into the divine council worldview to show how Old Testament prophets weren't just hearing mysterious voices—they were encountering the pre-incarnate Christ. We explore how figures like Isaiah and Jeremiah stood in the presence of the second person of the Trinity, and how the Word of the Lord who commissioned them is the same Jesus revealed in the New Testament. If you've ever wondered how prophecy really works, or how Jesus shows up in places we’ve missed, this episode will change the way you read your Bible. Join us as we put the fringe back into prophecy.

Putting the Fringe Back into Baptism

June 02, 2025

baptism Jesus baptism supernatural dimensions Old Testament consecration priests Christs righteousness royal priests spiritual confidence identity in Christ

Have you ever wondered why Jesus was baptized if He was without sin or why baptism is more than just a symbol? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn dive into the often overlooked, supernatural dimensions of baptism through a distinctly Reformed lens. We explore how Jesus’ baptism connects to the Old Testament consecration of priests and how believers today are clothed in Christ’s righteousness, equipped as royal priests. We challenge the common view of baptism as merely an act of repentance and discuss the spiritual confidence that comes from understanding our identity in Christ. If you’ve ever questioned the deeper meaning of baptism or your role as a royal priest, this episode will give you fresh insight. Join us as we put the fringe back into baptism!

Reformed theology Divine Council worldview doctrinal development supernatural elements of scripture Christ's presence in the Old Testament

Can you hold to Reformed theology while embracing a Divine Council worldview? Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn think so. In this episode, we dive into the history of doctrinal development, showing how refining theology doesn’t mean abandoning the core of our faith. We share our own journeys as Reformed Baptist pastors, discussing how rediscovering the supernatural elements of scripture – like Christ’s presence in the Old Testament – can actually deepen a confessional Reformed perspective. Join us as we challenge misconceptions, share insights, and explore why seeing the Bible in full "color" enriches our faith.

Is Paula White a dangerous teacher? In today’s episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn, tackle the supernatural power of words and the dangers of "word magic" theology, focusing on Paula White. We explore how the true power of the gospel stands against the manipulative practices of the health-and-wealth movement. The Word of God brings real transformation, not spells or emotional hype. As we reclaim the full, supernatural nature of our Reformed faith, we call the church back to trusting the proclaimed Word of Christ.
