Listen "S1E6: Calvinism vs. Arminianism"
Episode Synopsis
Are people predestined to be saved or just to disagree on matters of salvation? What's the beef with Calvinism and Arminianism, and can we grill it up and eat it? Find out if Matt finally convinces Austin to be a Calvinist on this episode of Clearly Overthinking!
**NOTE:**
We took an approach with this episode where we explained some of the historical context around this debate. We probably missed some details, mispronounced some names and words (looking at you, Palagius!), but we hope this will be an educational video. If there's anything we missed, let us know in the comments!
