Episode Synopsis

In this week’s episode, we’re tackling a topic that makes some people squirm: Calvinism. For many, the word carries baggage—images of cold debates, harsh personalities, or rigid, joyless faith. Maybe you’ve heard the term, maybe you even know some of the doctrines, but the thought still leaves you uneasy.What if much of that fear isn’t about the doctrines themselves, but how they’ve sometimes been represented? What if, instead of pushing us away, these truths—rooted in Scripture—are meant to draw us deeper into God’s grace?We’ll explore what Calvinism really is, why it often stirs resistance, and how, when understood biblically, it magnifies God’s goodness. So if you’ve ever been wary of Calvinism or only heard it in the heat of debate, join us as we slow down, open the Scriptures, and discover how these truths can lead us to rest in God’s sovereign love.Please email us your name and address to [email protected] for a chance to win!Book Recommendation: Humble Calvinism by J.A.
