    007 | Discipleship, The Church, and The Family with Zach and Eric
    Jul 31 2026
    Description How can the church and family work together to make faithful disciples? In this episode of The Richard Eng Podcast, Richard sits down with Zach Davis and Eric Herman for a practical conversation about Christian discipleship, biblical education, parenting, and the local church. They explore what it means for the church to become a hub of Christian education without replacing the family’s essential role. Their conversation covers the importance of forming a biblical worldview from childhood, helping parents become confident disciple-makers, and creating teaching that is both memorable and theologically deep. Richard, Zach, and Eric also discuss why churches need more than age-specific programs. Genuine spiritual formation happens through intergenerational relationships in which mature Christians mentor younger believers, families share life together, and the entire church encourages one another toward greater faithfulness. Whether you are a parent, pastor, ministry leader, or Christian seeking to grow, this episode offers practical encouragement for building stronger families, healthier churches, and a culture of lifelong discipleship.

    006 | Beliefs Need To Be Fed
    Jul 17 2026
    Description Christian beliefs do not remain strong through neglect. C. S. Lewis wrote that our beliefs must be fed—a warning that helps explain why some people do not argue their way out of Christianity so much as slowly drift away from it. In this episode, Richard explores how God uses Scripture, worship, Christian community, service, and the repeated practices of the local church to keep truth alive in embodied people. He also examines the competing “feeds” shaping our attention, why online content cannot replace Christian community, how physical spaces support discipleship, and five practical rhythms for nourishing your faith. A scene from Lewis’s The Silver Chair brings the episode together and illustrates how our environments, habits, and practices shape what feels believable to us.

  • 005 | Why Biblical Illiteracy Is A Worldview Problem

    005 | Why Biblical Illiteracy Is A Worldview Problem
    Jul 3 2026
    Description Biblical illiteracy is usually treated like a knowledge problem: Christians don’t know enough Bible stories, doctrines, or verses. But what if the problem goes deeper than that? In this episode, Richard looks at Ephesians 4:17–24 to show why Scripture is not merely giving us information, but renewing the way we see reality. When Christians are not formed by the truth of Christ, they are still being formed by something else. This episode explores why an unrenewed mind cannot produce a faithful walk, why culture is always discipling us, and why learning Christ changes more than what we know.
