Critical Issues Commentatry grew out of Bob DeWaay's passion to equip the saints for the work of ministry. In the late 1980's Bob met regularly with a group of local pastors, often presenting position papers on timely doctrinal issues.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 40 - The Hopelessness of Spiritual Formation

Apr 6th, 2026 5:00 AM

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 40 - The Hopelessness of Spiritual Formation, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We compare spiritual formation with the biblical doctrine of sanctification.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 39 - Replacing Sanctification with Unbiblical Spiritual Formation, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 38 - Evangelicals Taken Captive by Roman Catholic Mysticism, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Roman Catholic monastic mysticism is taking evangelicals captive through the teachings of John Mark Comer and Rod Dreher. Both men promote the teachings of the mystic "Saint" Benedict.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 37 - A Misdiagnosis of Hurry

Mar 16th, 2026 5:00 AM

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 37 - A Misdiagnosis of Hurry, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Comer states that you must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Rather than warning about hurry, Scripture warns about laziness. Being busy and hardworking is not a sin. This teaching more in line with Eastern religion than biblical Christianity.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 36 - Jesus is Unique

Mar 9th, 2026 5:00 AM

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 36 - Jesus is Unique, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Comer presents Jesus as a mystical moral role model. The Gospels show us that Jesus is unique. He is the sinless Savior, not a role model for mystics. We reject Comer's claim that solitude is vital to the Christian life. What we need is the means of grace.
