The second of Calvinism's 'five points' is "Unconditional Election." What do Calvinists mean by this? What are the implications of this doctrine? How does it stand up to the teaching of the Bible? Danny and Phil explain what this doctrine means, and discuss Scriptures that clarify the offer of salvation to all who believe in Jesus. The good news is this: You can be assured by grace!

Manhood and masculinity are distorted in modern culture, and Christian men often struggle to know how to live. Too often, even churches are trading biblical truths of godly manhood for the lies of this world. Those who suffer the consequences of these failures are often the wives and children who are robbed of the leadership of a godly man in their lives. Join Phil and Danny as they discuss the challenges of pursuing spiritual maturity as a man.  What Scripture-based solutions to the needs of men can the church provide?

What does "Total Depravity" mean? After all, we are all sinners...right? Calvinists say that Total Depravity means Total Inability -- that mankind is incapable of even choosing to believe in Jesus without God initiating a "divine spark" that changes the heart and regenerates us first. Phil and Danny expose this idea to the truth of Scripture. The implications of this doctrine impact a believer's perception of the character of God. Is our Lord and Savior a capricious deity who created eternal beings without any capacity to escape eternal judgment, or is He a loving Shepherd, seeking for all to turn to Him in faith?

Christian pastors, churches, and ministries are dividing over sexuality and gender issues today. Why? Danny and Phil discuss the roots of the contemporary confusion in the church, and focus on the key issue: Is the Bible really your authority, or not? How we answer this question affects both our response to contemporary sexual immorality, and our assurance of salvation.

Danny and Phil discuss what happened to the faith of a nation during Israel’s conquest of the Promised Land, and how it shows that spiritual vitality can be quickly lost. There is a lesson here for parents: Don't take your children's spiritual lives for granted! Invest in them while they are young.

Danny and Phil discuss Phil's recent trip to Israel, focusing on just a few of the sites visited, and the way the existence of Israel, and archaeological findings, exhibit both the existence of God and the truth of the Bible. 

With all the cultural craziness swirling around us, how can Christians stand strong? Danny and Phil discuss the unique role of the Bible in resisting the moral relativism and subjective "truths" that are unraveling our society. God's Word is more important to our lives today than ever!

How should Christians respond to the bizarre lunacy of our culture? Many are aggressively 'shaking their fists' in the face of God. We are prone to get depressed, or angry, but God has called us to a higher path: Suffering.
