Know What You Believe with Michael Horton

Should the church just preach the gospel and ignore the culture war? How can the church create its own culture in a post-Christian society? Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford join Michael Horton to discuss their latest book, The Culture of God's Word. Senkbeil and Woodford argue that the word of God doesn't need to be made relevant; rather, it is inherently powerful, creative, and culture-forming on its own terms.

In a tumultuous age, Harold Senkbeil and Lucas Woodford argue that the way forward for the church is not in retreat, relevance, or culture wars, but faithful proclamation of the word of God.

Carl Trueman and Michael Horton have both written books tracing the intellectual genealogy of our modern confusion. In this discussion, they trace the long arc from the Renaissance to today: how the rejection of God didn't just change our theology but degraded our very sense of what a person is, how "spiritual but not religious" isn't a recent invention but the inevitable endpoint of centuries of ideas.

Carl Trueman argues that modern man's crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact—that he was made in the image of God.

Is spiritual formation that moves beyond the practices of the Reformation what we need to help with our disillusionment with evangelicalism? Michael Horton discusses the contemporary spiritual formation movement most notably associated with John Mark Comer and heavily influenced by the late Dallas Willard, and compares its emphases to the hallmarks of Reformation piety.

Gavin Ortlund, Jordan Cooper, and Michael Horton discuss how Catholic and Reformation practices shape the Christian life. How do our views of penance, repentance, justification, purgatory, and assurance of salvation impact how we live our lives? Do they drive us to look to Christ and the promises of God, or do they cause us to look inward?
DEFENDING THE REFORMATION is a 6 part series bringing together Gavin Ortlund, Jordan Cooper, and Michael Horton to address some of the most prominent criticisms of the Reformation and key Protestant doctrines. Were the Reformers true reformers or radical revolutionaries? Does Sola Scriptura undermine church tradition? Is Sola Fide merely a product of nominalism? Together, these Protestant theologians examine the historical context, theological depth, and biblical fidelity of the Reformation.

Before entering public office, Ben Sasse served as executive director of White Horse Inn and Modern Reformation at Sola Media. On February 7, 2026, he joined longtime friends Michael Horton and Dan Bryant to discuss his cancer diagnosis, the early days of Sola Media, and the hope of the gospel.
As director of programs at Sola Media from 1998 to 2000, Ben Sasse helped articulate our vision for a modern reformation. "[We want to teach] individuals about historic Protestant theology," Sasse wrote, "creating a community of Protestants who take their particular church bodies and confessions very seriously, and (not "but") take their pan-Protestant, evangelical identity seriously as well." Ben's work in Sola's early years was invaluable in advancing our mission to serve the church with resources for reformation. We are profoundly grateful for his work, his friendship, and the legacy he has helped build.
