"Christ died for all... or did he die for some?" In this podcast, we discuss how Christ’s atonement was intended by God to secure the redemption of the elect alone, otherwise known as limited atonement. Join us as we discuss the "L" (limited atonement) in the acronym TULIP, which stands for the 5 points in the Doctrines of Grace, or Calvinism.

April 07, 2021091 - The Wisdom Pyramid and the Importance of Reading
What we “feed on” in our lives is what comes out in other areas of our lives. What is it that you depend on each day? What is at the bottom of your wisdom pyramid? Is it social media? Pills? Alcohol? Or is it the word of God? Join us as we discuss books we are reading, with a small focus on how to feed our souls in a post-truth world AND how to love others during it.

In this episode, we highlight two different books we are currently reading for the spring of 2021. If you are interested in these books, check them out online: The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World by Brett McCracken and Everybody Always by Bob Goff.

March 31, 2021090 - Believer's Baptism (with Bobby Jamieson)
Last week on the podcast, we discussed infant baptism. On this week's episode, we examine the view that we hold to at Providence Church, called credobaptism, also known as believer's baptism. We are joined by Bobby Jamieson, who is a pastor in Washington, D.C. and has written a number of books and articles specifically related to baptism, to help us think through this topic.

Check out this conversation to find out more about our stance on baptism. Also, if you're interested in baptism and its importance to our involvement in the local church, check out Bobby's book, Going Public. If you have any thoughts or questions on this topic, email us at [email protected].

March 17, 2021088 - Cultural Christianity
In our world today, many struggle with cultural Christianity, or idea that the Christian faith can be supported, founded on, and backed by cultural values and beliefs. In this episode, we argue that culture does not get to redefine Christianity and describe the danger in letting cultural Christianity rule our lives.
