Theology Unplugged

Can We Be Wrong in Heaven? Confessions of a Mystical Calvinist


Listen Later

In this episode of Theology Unplugged, C. Michael Patton explores one of the most personal and humorous tensions in his theological journey: what if we’re still wrong in heaven? What if glorification doesn’t mean omniscience, but sanctified curiosity?
From being kicked out of a Calvinist fellowship in the ’90s to debating theology over coffee with Arminians like Paul Copan and Wesleyans like Thomas Oden, Michael reflects on what it means to hold deep conviction without losing humility. He introduces the concept of Mystical Calvinism—a posture that embraces both the doctrines of grace and the infinite mystery of God.
Let’s get honest about where our theology actually comes from.
