In this season finale of the Wordsmith podcast, Pastor Clay Smith welcomes Bryant Wright, founding pastor of Johnson Ferry, for a deep dive into the often-debated Romans 11. They tackle “replacement theology” and affirm that God has not rejected Israel.

Their conversation explores the future salvation of Israel, drawing on Bryant’s books Seeds of Turmoil and The Stage is Set. They discuss the meaning of “all Israel will be saved” and several theological frameworks and encourage listeners to approach these complex topics with humility and grace.

Dr. Clay Smith is the senior pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, located just north of Atlanta, GA. JF, as it is affectionately called, is a healthy, vibrant church committed to helping people find truth, belonging, and purpose in Jesus.
