Pilgrim’s Podcast #14: Dr. Ashley Null, Denominations in a Post-Denomination Age, Thinking about Worship, and being a Lapdog for Jesus!
It was Steve and my great privilege to have Dr. Ashley Null as our guest on the Pilgrim’s Podcast this week! We sat out on the rooftop of our building on a beautifully sunny morning and drank sparkling mineral water whilst we talked about God and life. What could be better!
Ashley is a fantastic guy and an encouraging brother in the Lord. Formally, he is the canon theologian of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Kansas, visting fellow at Cambridge University, visting research fellow at Humboldt-Universitat in Berlin, and recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. One of the foremost experts on Cranmer and the English Reformation, he is the author of Thomas Cranmer’s Doctrine of Repentance: Renewing the Power to Love.
In the interview we get to know him, and hear all about his growth in love for the Lord Jesus. We ask Ashley what sort of relevance the Anglican church has for young ‘post-denominational’ Christians in Sydney, and get a fascinating answer! One of the highlights for me though, was hearing Ashley’s thoughts on worship: he clearly explains some of they key differences between the Anglican and Presbyterian understandings of worship – the normative and regulative principles, respectively.
This was such a good interview it was for about an hour! So, this is part one. Enjoy!

Hey fellas – just listened to Ashley part 1 – awesome.
Nice mate – glad you enjoyed it. He’s a top bloke, and both Steve and I really enjoyed just listening to him. We could have kept going for hours! Part two’s good too – we chat more about Reformed theology from Cranmer.
hey put me down for one “Ashley Null- Lapdog for Jesus” t-shirt. XL.
Haha! I’ll ask him if he’s doing signed copies! I’d personally like a version: “Ashley Null – Where my dogs at?”
