In this episode of The Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack Young is joined by Vincent Basile and Gabriel Gonzalez for a thoughtful, down-to-earth discussion on one of Christianity’s most debated theological topics: Calvinism.

Together, they explore:

What Calvinism teaches—and why it matters.

How God's sovereignty interacts with human responsibility.

The challenges and insights surrounding election, predestination, and free will.

Practical implications for evangelism, preaching, and pastoral ministry.

Whether you're Calvinist, non-Calvinist, or still sorting through the issues, this conversation is designed to be gracious, gospel-centered, and rooted in Scripture.
