Reformed or Catholic? Why Anglicans Say Both
Episode 5: What does it mean to be both Reformed and catholic? For Anglicans, the two are not opposites but essential parts of the same inheritance. In this episode of Holy Order, Bryan and Cooper explore how the English Reformation sought not to create a new church but to renew it, what Anglicans can learn from both Reformation and Anglo-Catholic traditions, and how the Book of Common Prayer brings the two together.Chapters01:17 Introduction and Personal Updates03:59 Understanding Anglicanism: Catholic and Reformed06:23 Historical Context of Reformed Theology09:08 Defining Catholicity in Anglicanism12:02 Creeds and Canon: Foundations of Faith14:42 Distinctions from Roman Catholicism17:12 Diverse Perspectives within Anglicanism20:20 Soteriology: Doctrine of Salvation22:36 Appreciating Anglo-Catholicism25:38 Celebrating Reformation Anglicans28:13 Finding Unity in Diversity30:09 Reformed and Catholic Traditions31:00 The Role of the Book of Common Prayer35:25 Integrating Gospel and Liturgy40:28 Practical Advice for RectorsSubstack: https://bryanhollon.substack.com/ Contact: cooper.nye@tas.edu Musicbed SyncUD: MB01XK6E3EG9WVS

Who Is Catechizing You?
Episode 4: We are all being catechized. The question is: by whom? In a culture increasingly shaped by screens, algorithms, and competing visions of the good life, Christian formation requires more than simply knowing the right answers. In this episode of Holy Order, Bryan and Cooper explore the ancient ministry of catechesis: what it is, how it differs from discipleship, and why it may be more important than ever.Chapters00:00 Secular Catechesis01:25 Introduction to Catechesis02:43 Understanding Catechesis05:24 Discipleship vs. Catechesis07:48 Components of Catechesis10:30 The Biblical Narrative12:02 How Our Culture Catechizes14:07 (Mal)Formation via Algorithms?19:02 Perennial Challenges in Catechesis20:00 The Purpose of Catechesis23:37 Aquinas and the Assimilation of Knowledge25:08 The Connection Between Love and Knowledge30:06 Cultivating Rightly Ordered Love35:56 Advice for Parents and Leaders in Catechesis42:12 Influential Figures in Catechesis44:50 The Broader Trend of Catechesis Across Denominations46:13 Closing PrayerSubstack: https://bryanhollon.substack.com/ Contact: cooper.nye@tas.edu Musicbed SyncUD: MB01XK6E3EG9WVS

A World Without Values: C.S. Lewis (Part 2)
Episode 3: Bryan and Cooper complete their series on C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man, digging into chapters two and three. They unpack Lewis's case against subjectivism and trace what happens when a society rejects the Tao (natural law) altogether. Along the way, Bryan and Cooper connect Lewis's warnings to Genesis 3, the Tower of Babel, and the nature of naming, and explore Lewis's chilling concept of "the conditioners"—a technocratic elite who remake humanity in their own image.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:12 Exciting Developments at Trinity04:05 Exploring 'The Abolition of Man' by C.S.

Order, Love, and Reality
Episode 1: Bryan Hollon and Cooper Nye introduce the vision behind the podcast and the question that will shape every conversation that follows: What if the deepest problems of our age are ultimately problems of order?Drawing on Scripture, St. Augustine, C.S. Lewis, and the Anglican tradition, Bryan explains that our lives are always ordered by what we love most. When our loves become disordered, our families, churches, and culture follow. But when our loves are rightly ordered toward God, we discover the peace, wisdom, and flourishing for which we were created.

A Diagnosis of Disorder: C.S. Lewis (Part 1)
Episode 2: What happens when we stop believing that truth, goodness, and beauty exist outside ourselves? In this episode of Holy Order, Bryan and Cooper begin a two-part series on C.S. Lewis' The Abolition of Man—one of his shortest yet most influential works. Starting with its surprising opening critique of a high school English textbook, they explore how modern education subtly teaches that values are merely personal feelings rather than reflections of reality.The conversation introduces Lewis's understanding of natural law, the fact-value distinction, and why these ideas remain remarkably relevant more than eighty years later.
