173. Fundamental Footprints - The Joseph Oakes Interview - Testimony from BJU 54:19

6 days ago54:19

54:19

In this episode of Fundamental Footprints , we sit down with Joseph Oakes to explore his academic journey from Bob Jones University (BJU) to earning a Ph.D. and teaching at Virginia Tech. Joseph reflects candidly on his time at BJU, offering insight into the academic rigor that shaped his trajectory and prepared him for graduate-level work at NC State. While many discussions about BJU often focus on its cultural and institutional controversies, Joseph brings a nuanced perspective, spotlighting the strength of the university’s educational programs—particularly in the sciences. He credits the training he received at BJU as foundational, not only for his success in obtaining advanced degrees but also for his effectiveness as a university-level instructor today. Throughout the conversation, Joseph shares how the discipline, structure, and expectations at BJU gave him an academic edge, especially when transitioning into secular higher education environments. His story challenges some of the broad-brush criticisms of fundamentalist institutions by highlighting the positive, lasting impact that a quality education—regardless of its ideological packaging—can have on a student’s life and calling. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of the complexities within Christian higher education, and how God’s calling can work through unexpected paths. Joseph’s journey is a testament to academic excellence, personal growth, and the power of perseverance.

These Stories are everywhere—in churches, in pulpits, in seminaries, and in youth groups. And if we don’t speak clearly, boldly, and lovingly about what’s happening… we’ll lose more than just doctrine—we’ll lose souls. So stay with us. Because today, we’re talking about why wokeness matters—and why the church must wake up.

40:30

It was a question that many pastors, churches, and believers are wrestling with today. The culture is pushing for a love that accepts everything—no questions asked, no boundaries drawn. But the gospel tells us something different. It calls us to love without compromise, to offer grace but also to speak the truth in love.

Cultural relativism doesn’t seem all that dangerous at first glance. It’s dressed up in words like “tolerance,” “inclusion,” and “open-mindedness.” If you’ve ever wondered why so many churches seem hesitant to take a stand, if you’ve felt pressure to compromise biblical truth for the sake of being “loving,” or if you’re struggling to respond when people say, “Who are you to judge?”—then stay with us. Because this is a conversation we can’t afford to ignore. We are not here to sugarcoat things. We are here to speak truth. So, let’s get into it.
