“Phil Ryken on the Bible as Literature” Read the latest post at my blog, The Misadventures of Captain Head Knowledge” at the link in my bio.
In 2014, Dr. Carl Trueman spoke on the subject of his book The Creedal Imperative at our first annual DFW Reformation Conference (#dfwrefcon )at Mid Cities Presbyterian Church (@midcitiesopc ) in Bedford, TX. I had the privilege and joy of helping promote the conference on social media and Eventbrite, and my pastor branded me the “Registrar,” complete with my own badge to that effect.
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm resurrecting a post from 11 years ago on my long-neglected blog relating my progress from Baptist Fundamentalism to Reformed Protestantism: "The Misadventures of Captain Head Knowledge."

Christian Knowledge | East of Eden
Jonathan Edwards Tee by ReformationShirts.com (click image to see more)
The following episode of the Reformed Forum’s new podcast, East of Eden, was tailor-made for the readers of this blog! East of Eden is a podcast devoted to discussing all things Jonathan Edwards. Not the recent politician with good hair and a bad reputation, but the eighteenth century preacher of the First Great Awakening who became known as the theologian of revival. In this week’s episode, the co-hosts interview a guest to be named below as they discuss Edwards’ sermon on “The Importance and Advantage of a Thorough Knowledge of Divine Truth.” One comment made by Nick Batzig sums up nicely both the sermon and the theme of this blog: “You can have truth in the mind without godliness in the heart, but you can’t have godliness in the heart without truth in the mind.”
Later, I will update this post with a transcript of the context of the preceding quote. In the meantime, listen to the entire episode, “Christian Knowledge,” to be challenged to inform your godliness with a thorough understanding of the truth which accords with godliness (Titus 1:1).
