Aaron Renn recently wrote a piece in First Things called "The Three Worlds of Evangelicalism." The bottom line: today, traditional Christians are part of a "status negative" religion. We talk about the article, and David gets louder. 

In this episode, we take on one of the biggies: predestination (or, "individual double predestination"). What do Wesleyans believe about it? Why do we believe it? Where do we differ from Calvinists on this doctrine? We also talk briefly about Squid Game and Babette's Feast.  

This one's a doozy, folks. Did Jesus have Mary's DNA? Did OT prophecy foretell the birth of Jesus? Why are CGI humans so weird? And Justus Hunter makes a surprise cameo appearance! 

Maggie couldn't make this one, but David and Scott have the opportunity to talk with Dr. Scott Kelso about his provocative new book, Theological Violence in the 21st Century: The Eclipse of Ethics and Morality in Today's World. 

The Notorious KSP (aka Karen Swallow Prior) joins us to talk about faith, literature, the state of the church, and how to survive on social media. And we don't talk about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral at all! 

It's a hot take roundup! We talk about David's trip to Africa, a flaming brisket, John Hagee, pastoral burnout, and the Metaverse--all in one episode!  

Dr. Ken Collins of Asbury Theological Seminary joins us to talk about his new book, Jesus the Stranger. 

None of us had ever heard of "demon trials" before, but they showed up big time in "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" podcast. So we talk about that. 

Dr. Madeline Henners of United Theological Seminary joins us for a wide-ranging discussion of life in whatever stage of the pandemic we're in this week. We also talk about open-plan houses and the value of doors and walls.
