Sin pulled man into a false universe where everything revolved around self. But through the Cross, God ends that old centre and shifts us into a whole new one — His centre. In this episode, Alex unpacks Chapter 5 of DeVern Fromke’s The Ultimate Intention, showing how the radical working of the Cross brings full release from self‑life and ushers us into life in the new man.

Fromke’s story of Billy at the parade, his unpacking of S‑I‑N (Selfish, Independent, Negation), and his own testimony of the “truth exploding” in him, all point to one thing: God is calling us out of man‑centeredness into His center where all things are new.

When we live for the part, we miss the whole. Redemption, grace, blessing, even church life — these are precious, but they were never the destination. In this episode Alex unpacks Chapter 4 of DeVern Fromke’s The Ultimate Intention, showing how every part is meant to lead us into the Father’s ultimate fellowship with Himself. Only in the whole do the parts make sense.

In Chapter 3 of The Ultimate Intention, DeVern Fromke shows that all the big themes of Scripture—creation, providence, government, redemption, sanctification, begetting, revelation—are not separate goals, but strands of one rope. And that rope is the Father’s eternal purpose in Christ.

Alex unpacks how each strand finds its meaning in Christ, beginning with the Father’s vital Fatherhood—the Father marking out a vast family for Himself in His Son, chosen before the foundation of the world. From this starting point, each strand—creation, providence, government, redemption, sanctification, begetting, and revelation—takes its proper place as a means serving the greater end.

This episode also points to what Fromke calls the Ultimate Paternal Theme: the Father’s Rule, the Father’s House, the Son’s Place, and the Father’s Heart. Fromke even describes the dimensions of life itself—length, breadth, and depth—as ways to measure how we live in His eternal intention.

Where you begin the story of God shapes where you end. If you start with man, you end with man. If you start with the Father, you end with His family.

In this episode Alex unpacks Chapter 2 of DeVern Fromke’s The Ultimate Intention, showing how the wrong starting point—whether the Fall, man’s commission, or even God as Creator—always distorts the story. Only when we begin with the Father’s eternal purpose in His Son do all the parts make sense.

In this first episode of The Eternal Purpose, Alex unpacks Chapter 1 of DeVern Fromke’s Ultimate Intention. Drawing from both the blue cover edition and the version Nancy McCready is reading on Tent Talk, Alex explores the Father’s eternal purpose with simple and down-to-earth teaching.

This episode takes us through the opening cry of the book: Help me to understand. We look at the story of Billy and his questions, and how this reveals the God-given urge in every person to ask why. We explore the sense of destiny woven into every human heart and see how Christ Himself is our righteousness and the wisdom of God, the answer to man’s deepest questions.

We also consider the difference between the acts of God and the ways of God, and the call to look past the marks of failure to the Father’s glorious “before.” Fromke shows why man’s vision is so often distorted and how Christ is revealed as the centerpiece of the Father’s universe. The episode closes with the three themes of revelation, rectification, and realisation, calling us to live of Him, through Him, and unto Him.

The Cross created a whole new man. Righteousness is about being birthed into an entirely new life in Christ. To be skilled in righteousness is to live from the acceptance already given rather than striving to earn it.

In this second episode, Alex unfolds how DeVern Fromke’s four themes (from chapter 6 of Ultimate Intention, NOT chapter 7) — redemption, sanctification, righteousness, and wisdom — shape the daily framework of the new man. Redemption gives us a new viewpoint: I belong to Him. Sanctification brings a new relatedness: I am set apart unto Him. Righteousness is a new occupation: I am occupied with Him and His working through me. And wisdom brings a new philosophy: I live from heaven’s pattern and purpose.

📘 Core Truths from this episode: 

1️⃣ Redemption is more than forgiveness — it is ownership. He has redeemed me for Himself.

2️⃣ Sanctification is about belonging — I am wholly His.

3️⃣ Righteousness means being occupied with Him rather than working for Him.

4️⃣ Wisdom centres life on God’s eternal purpose.

❓ Ask Yourself:

→ Am I living as one who truly belongs to Him? 

→ Is my life marked out by being wholly His, in every relationship and situation? 

→ Do I live each day occupied with Him rather than my own performance? 

→ Is my outlook on life centred around God’s purpose, or is it still orbiting around me?

Milk or meat? That’s the question Hebrews 5 throws at us. “Everyone who continues to feed on milk is inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness.” (Hebrews 5:13 AMPC).

In this opening episode, Alex lays the foundation of the whole series. Righteousness is not a goal you strive toward — it is a Person you live from. The Father’s eternal initiative was fulfilled in the exchange of the Cross, where Christ became what you were so you could become what He is.

We’ll unpack three core truths that move us from infancy to the maturing son:

1️⃣ Righteousness is the Father’s initiative — it began in Him, not in you.

2️⃣ The Cross was an exchange — Christ became sin so you could become His righteousness.

3️⃣ Righteousness is a Person — Christ Himself, your wisdom, sanctification, redemption, and life.

Ask Yourself:

→ What was in your milk bottle when you were first born again — self-effort, or the revelation of Christ as your righteousness?

→ Am I still circling forgiveness and reassurance, or have I begun to eat the solid food of sonship?
