From the Archives: What Art History Reveals About Our Culture
In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Dan Reneau, pastor, artist, and art history professor, to explore how the history of Western art reveals the changing worldview of civilization—from medieval Christianity and the Renaissance to modernism, postmodernism, and today's culture.

Along the way, they examine the theological influences behind major artistic movements and why understanding art can help believers better engage the world with the gospel.

Why humans are driven to create
Medieval art, iconography, and the Renaissance

Episode 247: Ozzy Osbourne, Charlie Sheen & More Evangelism Stories w/ Dylan Novak
Evangelism often gains momentum in unexpected moments—when tragedy strikes, when the world loses someone influential, or when bold voices challenge the church to act. In recent months, we’ve seen something remarkable: people stirred by loss, conviction, and opportunity, turning back to the urgency of the gospel.
On today’s show, we’re joined once again by Pastor Dylan Novak—known by many as The Celebrity Evangelist—to talk about how God has been moving in powerful ways during the tenth year of his ministry. From doors opening in Hollywood to a surge of believers eager to share their faith, Dylan has witnessed a renewed hunger for evangelism—fueled, in part, by the passing of cultural icons like Ozzy Osbourne and the influence of modern voices calling Christians to boldness, like Charlie Kirk.
Episode 242: A Christian Response to the Murder of Charlie Kirk
As a fifth grader, Charlie Kirk surrendered his life to Jesus, confessing his sin and acknowledging his need for a Savior. That decision set him on a path of growth, conviction, and public witness that deeply impacted the youth of our country. His open discourse on campuses and his public presence gave him a platform for the gospel and introduced an entire generation to the name of Jesus Christ. He believed his mission was to confront the sin in our culture and boldly proclaim truth, defend the faith, and call believers to live unashamedly in the world.
Charlie’s ministry and activism were marked by a radical belief that Scripture is not only true but also sufficient to guide every area of life—personal, cultural, and political. He called Christians to stand firm in their identity, resist compromise, and let the Word of God shape their actions. His life, though cut short, serves as a living example of what it means to take Jesus at His word and to spend every ounce of energy for the sake of the gospel and the advancement of God’s kingdom.
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and outspoken apologist, was assassinated this week. Over the last few days, we have watched as the nation has divided further along ideological lines. Why did this happen? What does it mean for our country? And what does this situation mean for Christians?
Today on the show, we have invited Brian Hedges, pastor of Heartland Bible Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO, to chat with us about the impact of Kirk’s death and how Christians should respond to this tragedy.
Episode 218: The Problem with the Social Gospel
“WWJD?” It's a virtuous aim for Christians to behave like Jesus Christ. Feeding and clothing the poor, caring for the orphan and widow are the command of Scripture, and a righteous pursuit of any disciple of Jesus Christ. But what about other social injustices like economic equality or racial equity? Is it the aim of the Christian to fight against child labor or unjust wars, or advocate for environmental protections or public education? If so, in what way and in what context?
What are the boundaries of Christian responsibility? Is our primary goal as Christians to pursue the establishment of a Christian ethic in our world? Or is it to preach the gospel in order to see souls saved? Today, provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, Brandon Briscoe, has invited Pastor Allen Shelby of Harvest Baptist Church, dean of the living Faith Bible Institute, to chat about the Social Gospel, a movement that has influenced the church for over 150 years now.
Pastor Shelby expounds key Bible passages in the gospels pertaining to the aim of the Christian, showing from Christ’s own words how the social gospel has led the church away from a scripturally faithful approach to ministry and world missions.
Episode 168: Soul Winning & Just A.S.K.
Today, Pastor Brian Clark brings an update from Crossroads Baptist Church, London, also announcing a new book coming soon called Just A.S.K. which expounds on several themes from today's conversation on evangelism.
First, Brian shares next steps for preparing a new church plant which his team is trusting God for over the next several years. We then discuss the topic of winning souls from examples in the early Church. Illustrating this topic, Brian shares testimonies of trial and error, learning from mistakes and how God made him the leader of a church-planting work in London.
How does the follower of Christ prepare for the work of evangelism? How should believers approach the lost about the gospel? How does the believer keep the conversation going with the lost? Questions like these and many more are answered in this episode.

Episode 84: Modern Missions, Going & "Rope Holding"
In this episode, we talk to James Fyffe, LFBI professor of missiology regarding modern missions. We discuss the lives of missionaries who pioneered gospel ministry in foreign lands amidst great adversity. We also speak about the responsibility of the local church to support the missionary abroad.
Episode 40: The Mission to Muslims, Important Distinctions & Common Ground for Conversation
Pastor/Missionary James Fyffe draws from his experiences ministering in Pakistan to guide us in how to share our faith with our Muslim friends. He discusses distinctions between the Abrahamic faiths, major differences in perspective on Christ and in roads for gospel conversation. We hope this episode encourages you to have faith to engage Islamic believers with the gospel.
