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.

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 […]

Praying in the Deep

06/26/2026
In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal walks through Jonah 1–2, focusing on the remarkable prayer Jonah offers from the belly of the great fish. Far from a simple morality tale, the Book of Jonah presents a complex, deeply theological portrait of a disobedient prophet who nonetheless clings to the Lord in his […]

Parable of the Talents: False Theology Produces Fatal Inaction

06/19/2026
In episode 497 of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb bring the Parable of the Talents to a close with one of the most theologically rich discussions in recent memory. Beginning in Matthew 25:24, they zero in on the one-talent servant — not merely as a cautionary tale about productivity, but as a […]

Parable of the Talents: Why the Wicked Servant's Problem Is Theological, Not Financial

06/12/2026
In Episode 496 of the Reformed Brotherhood, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb open with a rich discussion on the theology of congregational singing — including the Trinity Psalter Hymnal, the Getty's Sing!, and why psalm-singing belongs at the heart of Christian worship. The main event, however, is the first installment of their study of the Parable […]
