How we started, where we’ve been & where we are going…
July 17, 2017 Remnant Radio recorded its first episode. The flagship episode was an hour and a half long show filmed on an iPhone with a smattering of lights in an old closet with Josh Lewis and a buddy. The microphones were not plugged in; the phone had a smudge on the camera; and the closet was an acoustic nightmare. The show was terrible! But nonetheless, Josh Lewis was pumped to produce this new theology podcast.
Every week since, Remnant has evolved and grown from reaching a few thousand the first year to over 400,000 monthly views today.
Remnant’s premise was simple: Let’s discuss theology with everyone! Remnant invited Baptists, Methodists, Anglicans, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and Charismatics to come on live air and wrestle with theology. Remnant reminds its audience every episode, “we don’t necessarily agree with the views of our guest. We are just eager to learn how different traditions look at the scriptures.” Remnant strives to give healthy push back to our guest’s without being argumentative or combative.
Currently, The Remnant Radio produces two weekly shows. You can join the commentary during the live show on YouTube every Monday or Wednesday from 4PM-5PM CST or listen anytime from a podcast platform of your choice. Every time you tune into The Remnant Radio, you can expect an episode on theology, history, or the gifts of the spirit. You can rely on the show to be encouraging, entertaining, and hopefully inspiring. Remnant’s goal is for every person to break out of their theological echo chamber and join the conversation no matter his or her academic background.
The show also has expanded to provide in-person conferences as well as online master-classes. To keep up with the latest events and activities, be sure to subscribe to The Remnant Radio Newsletter.
