Persevering Prayer: Why God's Covenant Obligation Is the Ground of Boldness

09/11/2026
What does it actually mean to persist in prayer? In episode 505 of the Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb conclude their study of Luke 11's "Parable of the Night Friend" — and the answer is far richer than most Christians expect. Rather than teaching a technique for wearing down a reluctant God, Jesus […]

Luke 11 and the Parable of the Midnight Friend: The Argument from Lesser to Greater

09/04/2026
In this solo episode, Jesse sets the stage for an upcoming conversation with Tony by diving into one of Jesus' most theologically rich parables — the Parable of the Midnight Friend in Luke 11. Rather than treating this as a simple lesson on prayer technique, Jesse unpacks the passage as a carefully constructed theological argument: […]

Luke 10 and Self-Justification: Why the Lawyer Could Never Win

08/28/2026
In episode 503 of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb conclude their deep dive into Luke 10:25–37 — the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Far from a simple morality tale about helping strangers, this episode unpacks the parable's confrontational legal context, its reversal of expectation, and its profound Christological undertones. Tony and Jesse […]

The Good Samaritan, Part 1: Total Depravity, Self-Justification, and the Grammar of Grace

08/21/2026
In episode 502 of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony and Jesse begin what promises to be a multi-part deep dive into the Parable of the Good Samaritan — one of the most culturally embedded and theologically rich stories Jesus ever told. But before a single character hits the Jericho road, the hosts ground listeners in something […]

Mark 13 and the Ordinary Means of Grace: Why Vocation and Vigilance Are Inseparable

08/14/2026
In episode 501, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb dig into the parable of the watchful doorkeeper in Mark 13:32–37 — four tightly packed verses that Jesus uses to call his servants to alertness before his return. But this isn't a passage about spiritual caffeine and white-knuckling your way through the Christian life. Tony and Jesse […]

Mark 4:26–29: The Reformed Case for Divine Sovereignty in Evangelism

08/07/2026
In their 500th episode, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb celebrate a decade of The Reformed Brotherhood by diving into one of Scripture's most overlooked parables — the Parable of the Growing Seed in Mark 4:26–29. Exclusive to Mark's Gospel, this four-verse passage packs a theological punch that is, as Tony and Jesse argue, unmistakably Reformed in its […]

Oppression and God's Justice: The Prophetic Warning of James 5:1–6

07/31/2026
In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal delivers a rich expository sermon on James 5:1–6, one of the most striking prophetic passages in the New Testament epistles. Drawing on the Jewish literary and cultural context of James's original audience — Jewish Christians scattered from Jerusalem by persecution — Tony unpacks why this text […]

Final Judgment: Why Works Reveal Identity, Not Merit

07/24/2026
In Episode 499 of the Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb conclude their extended study of Matthew 25 with a close examination of the Sheep and Goats passage (vv. 31–46). The conversation tackles one of the most frequently misread sections in the Gospels — a text often weaponized for works-righteousness or social-justice reductionism — […]

Sovereign Election in Matthew 25: The Kingdom Was Prepared Before Your Works

07/17/2026
In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb bring their extended series on the parables of Matthew to a powerful climax with the passage most listeners have been waiting for: the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25:31–46). Far from a checklist of works required for salvation, this text is unpacked as […]

The Will of God: Your Sanctification

07/03/2026
In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal delivers a careful, unflinching exposition of the Seventh Commandment — "Thou shalt not commit adultery" — drawing from the Westminster Larger Catechism, Paul's letters, and the whole counsel of Scripture. Far from a narrow prohibition on a single act, the Seventh Commandment functions as a comprehensive […]
