The Right Hills to Die On: The Use and Misuse of Theological Triage | No. 22

Listen to this episode from The Grimké Podcast on Spotify. In 2005, Dr. Albert Mohler coined the term “theological triage”—an old idea of prioritizing doctrine into primary issues, secondary issues, etc. A more recent example is found in Dr. Gavin Ortlund's book, Finding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological Triage (Crossway, 2020). This week, the profs discuss the (often) emotional and uncritical misappropriations of theological triage in Christian circles.ONE WEEK AWAY: OUR MEN’S CONFERENCE.✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christianity Tomorrow: Hope in Compromised Times⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✦ July 28–30, 2025 in Richmond, VA✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get Tickets Now⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CHAPTERS.(00:00) Coming Up...(00:45) Theological Triage: What's More Important(06:36) Promo: 2025 Grimké Men’s Conference(07:22) The Reformation and Triage(10:33) “Feeling” the Right Hills to Die On(16:11) The Weighty Things according to God(21:55) Clarifying the Order of Importance(23:59) The Wrong Question: “Are You Saying I'm Not aChristian If...”(32:36) Imago Dei Is a First Order Doctrine(39:40) Theological Triage Via the Zeitgeist(46:19) Cowardice in Misusing Triage(50:17) Always Being Reformed by the WordCHECK IT OUT.✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grimké Seminary⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Training Pastors and Planters in, by, and for the Church✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grimké College⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Practical Biblical Studies for Every Christian✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grimké Europe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — For the Church in Europe, Hosted in Liverpool, UK✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sola Ecclesia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Grimké’s Official Theological JournalIN THIS VIDEO.✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bryan Laughlin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Chancellor & CEO (Grimké)✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Doug Logan Jr.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — President (Grimké)✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Holland⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Academic Dean (Grimké College)✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Doug Ponder⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Academic Dean (Grimké Seminary)SUPPORT GRIMKÉ.✦ Want to support the work of Grimké Seminary?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ALSO AVAILABLE.✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Video)✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Audio)FOLLOW US.✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook
